- Shaking was felt across Avellino, Naples, Salerno and Benevento, sending residents into the streets and prompting hundreds of calls to emergency lines.
- Aftershocks included magnitude 2.0 and 2.4 within minutes and a 2.1 overnight, with seismic monitoring continuing.

- The prefecture activated reception centers and coordinated the response, with schools closed Monday in the Avellino province and the city of Benevento as bad weather slows inspections.
