Saudi Press Agency Published in Saudi Press Agency on 25 - 01 - 2013

Central Italy was hit by a magnitude-4.8 earthquake,
authorities said Friday. There were no immediate reports of injuries
or damage, dpa reported.
Italy is an earthquake-prone country. In 2009, 309 people died in
a quake that hit the historic town of L'Aquila in Abruzzo, while two
more claimed 27 lives in the region of Emilia-Romagna last May.
Friday's event took place at 1448 GMT and had its epicentre in
Garfagnana, a mountainous area in northern Tuscany between the
provinces of Lucca, Modena and Pistoia, Italian National Institute of
Geophysics and Vulcanology (INGV) said on its website.
