Forty homes were destroyed and 1,678 were damaged, amounting to a total loss of $41 million (1971 rate). It was reported that the medieval section of Tuscania, a city of 8,000 inhabitants, was practically leveled, and 60 percent of the city's buildings were destroyed. Among those structures sustaining serious damage was the 8th century St. Peter's Church and the 12th century Basilica of St. Mary Major, both recently restored. The heavy damage sustained was due to the shallow depth of the earthquake and poorly constructed buildings.Today in Earthquake History https://earthquake.usgs.gov/learn/today/index.php?month=2&day=6&submit=View+Date June 15, 2021 United States Geological Survey Console R., Sonaglia A. http://www.cftilab.it/file_repository/pdf_R/003125-130417_R.pdf Studio del terremoto di Tuscania Annali di Geofisica 1972 Rome 367–390 it October 2023 InternetArchiveBot yes See also Italy Earth sciences List of earthquakes in 1971 List of earthquakes in Italy References External links Page about this earthquake in the CFTI5MED catalogue of strong earthquakes in Italy and in the Mediterranean area, Guidoboni et al. 2019, Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) 786944 Category:Earthquakes in Italy Category:1971 earthquakes Category:February 1971 in Europe Category:1970s disasters in Italy Category:1971 in Italy Tuscania earthquake
