We present the results of 3-D monitoring of strain along active faults outcropping in the central Apennines, where recent and historical strong earthquakes occurred, using TM-71 extensometers during the period 2002–2017. We discuss the fault slip development as well as kinematics particularly in the light of local recent seismicity. The recorded fault slip corresponds to the minimum and maximum principal stress with a SW-NE orientation and slightly dipping to SW. Moreover, the detected fault slip is non-linear and affected by remarkable transient periods of acceleration, which lasted up to several months. The recorded accelerations were induced by alternation of extensional, reverse and horizontal displacement due to switching extensional and compressional stress/strain state and coincide with periods of major seismic events that recently affected the central Apennines. This phenomenon is being investigated. In the case of the moderate L'Aquila 2009 and Norcia 2016 earthquakes, the recorded fault slips can be characterized as pre-seismic.
