Three strong earthquakes have been felt in central Italy, with people in Rome saying they experienced the tremors, local media say.
The first quake measured a magnitude of 5.4 and was 60 miles north of Rome, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre said.
Two more also struck within an hour around the same region and were felt in Rome, local media has reported.
The Metro in Rome has been evacuated, following the third quake.
The quakes are the latest to hit the region after 300 people died in August when the town of Amatrice was flattened.
Two further quakes rattled the region in October, with the most powerful measuring 6.5 magnitude.
The latest follows 36 hours of continuous snowfall in areas close to Amatrice and another badly-hit mountain town, Norcia.
As a result of last year's quakes many residents have been evacuated to temporary accommodation outside the earthquake-prone zone along Italy's mountainous spine.
