A powerful 6.0 magnitude earthquake struck near Bologna, Italy on Sunday morning.
At least six people were killed and dozens more were injured. Thousands were forced to leave their homes for shelter.
Farmlands and small towns took the brunt of the quake as many historic buildings were damaged or destroyed.
Although Italy is prone to earthquakes the temblor struck in the Padania plains, an area that had not appeared risky in the past.
Over the course of Sunday multiple aftershocks continued to cause damage. The aftershocks are expected to continue over the next several days and weeks.

Animals continue to die off the coast of South America, and scientists are blaming climate change.
Over the past week, at least 2,300 dead birds were found along the coast of Chile. Dozens of types of birds washed ashore, with many captured in fisherman’s nets.
Just last week we reported the deaths of over 1,400 pelicans along the shores of Peru. Reported numbers have now surpassed 5,000, and Peruvian authorities are also blaming warmer than normal waters.
Peruvian authorities state there is an abundance of warm water running through marine currents across the globe, altering the marine ecosystem.
And, on Monday morning, Chile and Peru started the week with a 6.2 magnitude earthquake along their border. Related?
Does the Mayan calendar actually run thousands of years into the future?
Archeologists have uncovered a new group of Mayan murals and etchings under the Guatemalan jungle which may contradict 2012 theories.
The team from National Geographic discovered the artwork inside a small home or workspace in a Mayan village initially discovered in 1915.
Murals depict ancient royalty, while etchings reveal a lunar table and a ring number, which the Maya used as a base date for planetary cycles. The designs may show dates as far as 7,000 years beyond December 21, 2012.
The real question to 2012 believers: Are these paintings the final word, or the musings of a rogue cave painter?
