Institute official Alberto Michelini told Sky TG24 TV the quake's epicentre was 30km north of Viareggio, a Tuscan sea resort, and that the earthquake was felt most in the regions of Tuscany and Emiilia Romagna.
People in Milan skyscrapers and others in the Tuscan capital of Florence and in Bologna reported feeling the quake.
