The contents of the 1626 Naples earthquake page were merged into 1627 Gargano earthquake on 13 April 2020. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected page, please see its history; for the discussion at that location, see its talk page.

The 1626 Naples earthquake is actually the same event that has been recorded in some catalogues in the wrong year. 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."

Is it accurate that there was no earthquake with 70 000 fatalities, including tsunami? That remains on the web and on wikipedia. It does seem odd that a quake with 5 000 fatalities is mistaken with one with 70 000 fatalities. It's kind of a big discrepancy. Are one of the numbers made up from whole cloth? -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. (talk) 12:29, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Specifically the List of earthquakes in Italy needs to be updated, if there never was an earthquake with 70 000 fatalities. -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. (talk) 12:37, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
