The telluric movement was 4.4.
An earthquake struck Milan, in northern Italy, on Saturday, December 18, causing some people to take to the streets, but there were no immediate reports of damage, emergency services said.
The quake, with a magnitude estimated at 4.4 by the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, was felt throughout the Lombardy region, but firefighters said they had not received any calls for help.
The epicenter was in Bonate Sotto, a city near Bergamo. Its mayor, Carlo Previtali, told reporters that “there was no particular panic or alarm” among residents.
Most earthquakes in Italy are mild and cause little or no damage.
The latest major impact, a 5.3 magnitude earthquake that struck central Italy in 2017, killed 34 people. (I)
