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)
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)
