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 21:16:00 on October 1, 2024, with epicenter 6 km NW Cantagallo (PO), having a depth of 10.9 km is therefore classified as superficial.

Being of magnitude 1.2, therefore less then 2.0, this earthquake is classified as "micro", as not felt by the population.
