Este mapa muestra el epicentro del terremoto, que se sintió hasta Roma, donde no ocasionó daños.

Los servicios de protección de Amatrice necesitan desesperadamente equipo manual para remover escombros: palas, cortadoras de metal, etc., porque se teme que más de 500 personas pueden estar enterradas.   Matteo Renzi, el Primero Ministro de Italia twitteó que la ayuda va en camino.

El Servicio Geológico de Italia catalogó el terremoto de 6.0 grados en la escala Richter. El Servicio Geológico de Estados Unidos, en 6.2, con epicentro en  Norcia, 170 kilómetros al noreste de Roma.

En el año 2009 un terremoto de 6.3 en la misma región conocida como L’Aquila mató por lo menos a 300 personas.  En 1997 otro terremoto en el área golpeó la ciudad de Asisi, y dañó una de las artísticas del país, la Catedral de San Francisco de Asís, decorado con frescos del artísta del renacimiento Giotto.

No se ha reportado que frailes que habitaban los templos en Amatrice hayan resultado lesionados.
