It had an estimated energy magnitude of 6.6. The towns of Filadelfia, Chiaravalle Centrale, Filogaso, Panaia, Polia Antica, San Demetrio Corone and Stefanaconi were assigned X (Extreme) on the Mercalli-Cancani-Sieberg scale.1659 11 05, 22:15 Calabria centrale (Italy) https://storing.ingv.it/cfti/cfti5/quake.php?01019IT CFTI5Med National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology 16 May 2024 The reports of destruction corresponded with a 10 km section of the Serre Fault that did not rupture during the next major earthquakes in 1783. This meant the central portion of the Serre Fault is a probably candidate for the earthquake source. The rupture on this fault segment reduced the Coulomb stress, which was sufficient for it to remain unruptured in 1783.Jacques E. Monaco C. Tapponnier P. Tortorici L.

It represents the first major earthquake in a seismic sequence on faults in southern Calabria, with the last major earthquake in 1908.Galli Paolo Bosi Vittorio Paleoseismology along the Cittanova fault: Implications for seismotectonics and earthquake recurrence in Calabria (southern Italy) Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth 2002 107 B3 ETG 1-1-ETG 1-19 10.1029/2001JB000234 At least 2,035 people died including 496 in Panaija, 203 in Polia, 193 in Castelrnonardo, 161 in Filogaso and 160 in Soriano.
