There are numerous collapses and evacuations in Ischia, due to the 3,6 magnitude earthquake that shook the island of the Gulf of Naples at 20,57. In the municipality of Casamicciola, an inhabited building in Piazza Maio and a church of Purgatory collapsed and there are some injured and missing. The Rizzoli hospital in Lacco Ameno was evacuated after some cracks were identified, with the exception of five intubated patients. Checks are being carried out by the Campania Region Civil Protection. The teams that are currently carrying out the checks, a note read, were activated immediately as they were busy on the island for the forest fire service. The president of the Region, Vincenzo De Luca, has already alerted the entire regional civil protection structure. In Ischia the memory of the earthquake of 28 July 1883 of magnitude 5,3 in the locality of Casamicciola is handed down, which caused 2.300 deaths. The earthquake recorded in Ischia was also felt distinctly in some areas of the Phlegraean area. The municipalities where the telluric movement was most recorded were Monte di Procida and the high areas of Bacoli and Pozzuoli. At the moment there is no damage to people and things. The mayors of Monte di Procida, Bacoli and Pozzuoli got in touch with the regional Civil Protection for the first evaluations. However, the Municipal Police and the local Civil Protection should be alerted. In Bacoli the situation is followed directly by the volcanologist, Giuseppe Luongo, councilor for Civil Protection, in close contact with the Ingv.

The Ingv has announced that the epicenter of this evening's earthquake is located, at a depth of about 10 km, near the coast of the municipality of Forio in Ischia.
