The area around the city of Pisa, located in central Italy, was shaken on Tuesday by an earthquake with a magnitude of 4.3, according to DPA. The quake occurred at 10:15 local time, and its epicenter was located about five kilometers from Pisa, at a depth of eight kilometers.

Authorities reported that numerous people took to the streets, fearing possible damage, but no casualties or material damage were recorded.
