Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) reported a magnitude 3.6 quake in Italy near Piacenza, Province of Piacenza, Emilia-Romagna, only 16 minutes ago. The earthquake hit in the morning on Sunday, May 4th, 2025, at 8:29 am local time at a shallow depth of 25.40 km. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) which listed the quake at magnitude 3.5. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 3.0, and the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 3.6.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Bettola (pop. 3,200) located 9 km from the epicenter, Salsomaggiore Terme (pop. 15,800) 21 km away, Fidenza (pop. 22,000) 29 km away, Piacenza (pop. 103,600) 31 km away, Cremona (pop. 71,200) 46 km away, and Parma (pop. 198,300) 48 km away. In Lodi (pop. 40,800, 62 km away), Pavia (pop. 65,700, 64 km away), and Genoa (pop. 580,100, 74 km away), the quake was probably not felt.
