Earthquakes are recorded in Italy along the Apennines, around Sicily and in the Tyrrhenian Sea. This map shows epicentres of earthquakes of magnitude 3.0 and above, from data published by Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), updated daily. Smaller earthquakes below M3.0 are not included.
This map lets you follow the size, depth and location pattern of earthquakes in Italy using open data.
What this map shows
Each circle is an earthquake epicentre. Size shows magnitude and colour shows depth. Select a circle for the date and time (local time, including daylight saving), magnitude, depth and source.
Only events of M3.0 and above that INGV publishes for Italy or its surrounding seas are included. Events on land in neighbouring countries, such as Croatia, are excluded. Offshore events are included, and some may lie in sea areas outside Italy's territory.
Magnitudes are the values published by INGV (mostly local magnitude, ML) and may be revised after publication. For shaking intensity and damage, see INGV, the civil-protection authorities and local emergency agencies.
Labels such as 'Southern Italy and Tyrrhenian Sea area' are a rough guide assigned mechanically from the epicentre's latitude and longitude, not regions, provinces or other administrative areas.
Questions and answers
Does this map show small earthquakes or damage in Italy?
No. It shows only M3.0+ epicentres published by INGV, not damage or intensity. See INGV and the civil-protection authorities.
When is it updated?
Daily, with events published by INGV. If a magnitude or location is revised after publication, the next update replaces it.
