Experts fear the volcanic region of Campi Flegrei, or the Phlegraean Fields, near Naples could be reawakening after generations at rest.
Forget Italy’s most famous active volcano, Mt. Vesuvius, which destroyed Pompei in 79 AD. The most dangerous volcanic threat in Italy right now is one you’ve probably never heard of: Campi Flegrei, or the Phlegraean Fields. This unassuming plain, which stretches 200 kilometers under the bay of Naples and the islands of Capri and Ischia to the outskirts of the city of Naples, is a giant caldera, or depression, left by a supervolcano some 2 million years ago.
De Natale said there is no plan to resume drilling and the current city government told CNN that there are areas “of greater concern” from a budgetary standpoint when it comes to city projects, including developing better evacuation plans for both Mt. Vesuvius and the Campi Flegrei area. Planning around a natural enigma Supervolcanoes are among the most perplexing and least understood natural threats in the world.
