In the past three days, the province of Naples has felt the tremors from over ten seismic events, culminating in a magnitude 3.9 earthquake on February 17. Residents experienced heightened anxiety, especially after a series of tremors preceding and following the main quake. The area, known as Campi Flegrei, is a volcanic region prone to seismic activity due to bradyseism. In response to these events, local authorities activated civil protection measures, closed schools, and organized safety checks to ensure citizen safety amid ongoing geological instability.
The new seismic swarm began three days ago, leading to more than ten earthquakes of magnitude greater than 2, raising fears among residents of Naples.
The activation of civil protection volunteers was ordered, and schools in Pozzuoli were closed to allow safety checks after multiple seismic events occurred.
