Video Death toll from Italy earthquake rises
WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR:
* 159 people have been killed, dozens missing
* Witnesses have given details of the terrifying moment the quake hit
* The hardest-hit towns were Amatrice and Accumoli near Rieti, 100km northeast of Rome
There are 159 people dead and dozens more are missing after a powerful earthquake struck central Italy, reducing ancient towns to rubble.
The toll was likely to rise as crews reached homes in more remote hamlets where the scenes were apocalyptic "like Dante's Inferno," according to one witness.
The magnitude 6 quake struck early Wednesday and was felt across a broad swath of central Italy, including Rome, where residents felt a long swaying followed by aftershocks.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said the government had not received any reports of Australians being killed or injured.
"There are no reports of Australians dead or injured to date. Australians in Italy should follow the advice of local authorities," Turnbull said on 2GB radio on Thursday.

The tremor shook the Lazio region and Umbria and Le Marche on the Adriatic coast.
Premier Matteo Renzi planned to head to the zone later on Wednesday (local time) and promised: ``No family, no city, no hamlet will be left behind.''
