In October 2016, a series of major earthquakes struck Central Italy, particularly in the Marche and Umbria regions. The third and most significant quake, which occurred on 30 October, was the largest in Italy in 36 years, since the 1980 Irpinia earthquake. The first earthquake, with a magnitude of 5.5, struck near Sellano on 26 October, causing damage to buildings and infrastructure in the region of Marche, and was felt in the city of Rome. This was followed by a magnitude 6.1 intraplate earthquake near Visso, which struck about 30 km northwest of the epicenter of a previous earthquake in August. The third and most devastating earthquake, with a preliminary magnitude of 6.6, hit near Norcia on 30 October, causing heavy damage to structures and resulting in tragic fatalities. These quakes occurred in a seismic gap that had not experienced a strong earthquake for over 100 years until 2016. The irregular faults in the Apennine Mountains, which have been forming for the past 500,000 years, contributed to the intensity of the shaking. The destructive shock on 26 October was preceded by a foreshock, prompting people to seek safety before the larger shock occurred. These earthquakes were compared to the August 2016 earthquake, and their geological aspects were analyzed by experts.
