A powerful earthquake has rocked the Italian city of Naples and the surrounding region, sending people fleeing into the streets.
Local residents reported hearing a ‘roar’ and feeling a ‘strong tremor’ as the 4.6-magnitude quake hit.
The epicentre of the earthquake was just off the coast of the highly active Phlegraean Fields, a volcanic caldera west of the city, at a depth of 1.5 miles.
‘We rocked a lot… I’m still shaking,’ one woman, living in the Vomero district of the city, told La Repubblica.
