Talk:1626 Naples earthquake

Merge
This earthquake occurred in 1627, not 1626, to quote Wasowski & Del Gaudio (2000) "Note that the earthquake date is wrong — no records exist on any 1626 damaging earthquake in Italy; instead there is abundant historic documentation on the 1627 seismic event, which caused loss of life and property in different towns of central-southern Italy." The epicentre was in the Gargano area, not in Naples. It's harsh to blame Mallet, but it's his catalogue that carries the wrong date, which has then been repeated by other catalogues. and publications. This page needs to be merged into the 1627 Gargano earthquake article. Mikenorton (talk) 16:11, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
