An earthquake on Friday rattled central and north-eastern Italy - two days after a series of quakes had hit the same region, reported dpa.

The epicentre of the 5.1 magnitude earthquake was registered in an area between the city of Parma and the central Apennines mountain range, according to Italy's National Institute of Geophysics in Rome.

There were no immediate reports of injury or major damage.

On Wednesday hundreds of people fled buildings in Milan and other northern cities after a series of quakes shook the region, but no one was injured.
