The science of earthquakes is not there yet as to be able to predict earthquakes accurately. It is an highly inaccurate science. We can however use statistics, and this, although not timewise accurate, can predict earthquakes at different locations. All over the world there are approx 25.000 earthquakes of various magnitude every year. With increased tension in the zones where continental drift causes the different plates to collide, the risk of earthquakes increases. This tension builds up until it reaches a critical level. When the tension is critical, then even pretty small energydischarges can release the tension and we have an earthquake. There are many factors as to when the tension becomes critical and we can not measure this, only anticipate.
An earthquake happened 17 years before the eruption.
Most seismic activity occurs near the Mediterranean in countries such as Bulgaria, Turkey, Greece, Italy, and Spain.

According to the USGS/NEIC database there were two recent earthquakes in Italy: 1. 2012 Oct 16 15:10:59.14 UTC - magnitude 4.9 location: off the coast on the ocean floor, 22 km west Scalea 2. 2012 Oct 03 14:41:28.07 UTC - magnitude 4.6 location: 39 km west Parma
There was so much that happened in the 1908 earthquake in Italy. This caused loss of about 123,000 lives and so many other causalities. It is commonly known as Messina and Reggio earthquake.

I am pretty sure more people died in the earthquake in China. We studied them both at school.
296 dead, 1,500 injured and 50,000 homeless!!!
