The strongest earthquakes ever in Italy from 1000 to 2020

Historical series of the strongest earthquakes ever in Italy

This page shows the strongest earthquakes ever with epicenter in Italy, from 1000 up to present times (year 2020 included). The information refers to a database of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology. In particular, it is the following work: Rovida A., Locati M., Camassi R., Lolli, B., Gasperini P., Antonucci A. 2022. Parametric Catalog of Italian Earthquakes (CPTI15), version 4.0. National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), https://doi.org/10.13127/CPTI/CPTI15.4.4

Only seismic events with a magnitude ≥ 3.5 were selected from the database.

Below the map there is also a table, indicating the date, the denomination of the area of maximum effects and the moment magnitude. Together with the events with an epicenter in Italy, those earthquakes not far from the regional borders have also sometimes been included.

Data from INGV, Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, ingv.it

Symbols used for earthquake epicenters in Italy

The color of the icons indicates the magnitude. Yellow: 3.5≤M<4 . Orange: 4≤M<5 . Red: 5≤M<6 . Purple: 6≤M<7 . Black: M≥7 .
Click on the icon to view the details of the seismic event. Below the epicenter map there is a table with a list of the events.

In the database there are 611 earthquakes, 0 of them with 3.5≤M_w<4 (0.0%), 0 with 4≤M_w<5 (0.0%), 525 with 5≤M_w<6 (85.9%), 77 with 6≤M_w<7 (12.6%), 9 with M_w≥7 (1.5%).
