There was no report of any significant damage as a result of the latest shaking.
The 4.8 magnitude shaking occurred at 11:14 p.m. Central European Time at a relatively shallow depth of only 3 miles (5 km), according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The head of Italy's National Institute for Geophysics and Vulcanology told reporters earlier on Monday that 10,000 aftershocks have hit the region since the initial jolt, with around 1,000 being strong enough to be felt.
“We do not exclude slightly stronger aftershocks, it's even probable” that there will be tremors above a magnitude of 3.0, the top scientist, Enzo Boschi, told ANSA news agency.
Italy is still mourning the loss of the 294 people that died in the April 6 quake.
The country’s interior minister estimates that the country will need to spend $16 billion to reconstruct housing and other buildings that were destroyed across the Abruzzo region.
The quake left almost 58,000 people there homeless, and authorities have promised to have housing available for them before next winter sets in. Cool and damp conditions since the temblor have made life even more uncomfortable for the thousands of homeless who have been living in tents.
