No one has been reported hurt in the earthquake, though some damage to churches, convents and other historic buildings has been reported. The quake hit part of the Apennine mountain range, centering on the Mugello region of Tuscany, some 31 km (19 miles) northeast of Florence. A resident of Barberino del Mugello said his neighbours were panicking getting out of the building. In Barberino del Mugello, the 17th century church suffered a crack in one side, television images showed. Most recently, a series of strong quakes hit central Italy in late 2016 and early 2017, killing 300 people.
