The 1971 Tuscania earthquake occurred on 6 February in Italy.

It had an epicenter located halfway between Tuscania and Arlena di Castro, about 20 km west of Viterbo.

Forty homes were destroyed and 1,678 were damaged, amounting to a total loss of $41 million (1971 rate).

The heavy damage sustained was due to the shallow depth of the earthquake and poorly constructed buildings.
