A series of earthquakes with a magnitude greater than 3 were recorded today, Wednesday February 7, in different areas of Emilia Romagna, from the first shock of magnitude 3.2 at 06.02 in the Frassinoro (Modena) area to others during the morning in the province of Parma, between Calestano and Langhirano.

An earthquake of magnitude 3.3 was recorded at 14:55 in Langhirano.

The earthquake at 06:02 was recorded by the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (Ingv) with an epicenter 9 kilometers from Frassinoro and at a depth of 4 kilometers.

These are the geographic coordinates of the earthquake: 44.2650 latitude, 10.4640 longitude.

The earthquake of magnitude 3.2, according to the first reports that appeared on social media, woke up the population in different provinces: messages from users arrived from Villa Minozzo, Pieve di Brancoli and other municipalities near the epicenter.
