On Wednesday 7 February 2024 at 14:22:00 an earthquake of magnitude 1.3 and depth 21.8 km was recorded in 2 km SE Pignola (PZ). Further info on the INGV webpage by clicking here.

Based on the depth of the hypocenter, earthquakes are classified into superficial (hypocenter between 0 e 70 and deep), intermediate (Hypocenter between 70 and 300 km deep) and deep (hypocenter between 300 and 720 km deep). The earthquake occurred at 14:22:00 on February 7, 2024, with epicenter 2 km SE Pignola (PZ), having a depth of 21.8 km is therefore classified as superficial.

Being of magnitude 1.3, therefore less then 2.0, this earthquake is classified as "micro", as not felt by the population.
