The month's largest event in Italy was a magnitude 4.0 earthquake near Cittadella del Capo, Italy on 25 April 2026 at 11:43 UTC. A magnitude 4.0 earthquake radiates roughly 15 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

0% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 100% intermediate (70–300 km) and 0% deep-focus (over 300 km). A substantial share of intermediate-depth events points to a subducting slab beneath the region rather than purely crustal faulting.
