(Reuters) – A 5. 9-magnitude earthquake struck near Bologna, Italy, on Sunday, according to the U. S. Geological Survey. The quake, which initially registered at magnitude 6. 3, was centered 22 miles north-northwest of Bologna in northern Italy at a relatively shallow depth of 6. 3 miles, the USGS said. The last major earthquake to hit Italy was a 6. 3 magnitude quake in the central Italian city of L’Aquila in 2009, killing nearly 300 people. In January, a 5. 3-magnitude quake in northern Italy was felt in Genoa, Bologna, Turin and Italy’s financial capital, Milan. (Writing by Doina Chiacu)
