"Italy requested the mobilisation of the Fund following a series of earthquakes there in May 2012.
On 20 May 2012, a heavy earthquake with a magnitude of 5.9 on the Richter scale affected wide parts of northern Italy and caused severe damage in many towns and villages, in particular around the epicentre, mostly in the provinces of Modena and Ferrara in the region of Emilia-Romagna. On 29 May, a second equally strong earthquake with a magnitude of 5.8 on the Richter scale occurred with the epicentre slightly to the west.
Both events were followed by several serious aftershocks. The earthquakes caused 27 deaths, an estimated 350 people were injured and over 45 000 people had to be evacuated. It is Europe’s duty to help that region after these event."@en1
