The earth's crust (surface) is made up of platonic plates. When these plates move toward each other, one might go underneath the other and scrape against it. This gives out vibrations which can sometimes be so powerful that the can be classified as earthquakes.
Italy is near a plate boundary (the edge of a plate, where another plate starts). Italy is on the Eurasian plate and it rubs against the African plate which caused the earthquake.
