The most dangerous volcanic threat in Italy right now is one you’ve probably never heard of: Campi Flegrei, or the Phlegraean Fields.
The last major eruption of Campi Flegrei was in 1538, and it created a new mountain in the bay.
So far in 2023 Campi Flegrei has recorded more than 3,450 earthquakes, 1,118 of which occurred in August alone.
There are two hypotheses as to what could be causing the current increase in seismic activity at Campi Flegrei, according to De Natale.
Vesuvius and the Campi Flegrei area.
