An earthquake was distinctly felt a few minutes before 20 between the provinces of Modena and Reggio Emilia.

The instruments of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology recorded a magnitude of 4.0 and identified the epicenter in the municipality of Bagnolo in Piano (Reggio Emilia) at a depth of 7 kilometers.

There was no damage to people or things, even if the reconnaissance has already started.

It was a short shock, but clearly felt both in the two capitals (Modena and Reggio Emilia) and in various neighboring places, up to the border areas of Veneto and Lombardy.

The earthquake awakened fear in an area that was severely hit almost ten years ago by an earthquake that caused seven deaths and several damage.
