Earthquake Hits Italy - 53 Mile Northeast Rome

Reuters reports an earthquake measuring 6.3 on the Richter scale rocked central Italy on Monday and was felt in the capital Rome. No damage is expected in the Rome's centro storico, but outside Rome ancient buildings and structures will be evaluated.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the epicenter of the quake, which struck in the early hours at about 0235 GMT, was believed to be some 53 miles northeast of Rome. It initially put the scale of the quake at 6.7 but later lowered it 6.3.

The location northeast of Rome is toward Umbria, where Assisi was rocked by an earthquake in 1997 which damaged the Basilica of St Francis Assisi.

Some residents of Rome, which is rarely hit by seismic activity, were woken by the quake.

Earthquakes can be particularly dangerous in parts of Italy where centuries-old buildings are left in disrepair.
