Pozzuoli. According to the weekly monitoring bulletin for the Phlegraean Fields dated June 11, 2024 (covering the week of June 3–9, 2024), published by the Vesuvius Observatory, "there are no indications suggesting significant short-term developments."
In light of the monitoring data, it is highlighted:
EXPECTED SCENARIOS: Based on the current picture of volcanic activity, there are no elements that suggest significant short-term developments.
Current situation at Campi Flegrei (June 13, 2024)
Seismic activity:
During the week of June 3-9, 2024, 143 earthquakes were recorded, with a magnitude 3.7 event on June 8.
From June 8th to 01:48 UTC a seismic swarm of 56 events was recorded in the Solfatara-Pisciarelli area.

Bradyseism:
The uplift rate in the area of maximum deformation returned to approximately 2 cm per month.
Il lift total recorded in Rione Terra (RITE) is about 123 cm since January 2011, of which 27 cm since January 2023 and 9 cm since January 2024.
This uplift exceeds by about 35 cm the maximum peak reached during the previous bradyseismic crisis of the 80s.
Geochemical activity:
Soil CO2 fluxes have not shown significant changes over the past week.
The temperature of a fumarolic emission in the Pisciarelli area is stable at around 95°C.
The CO2 flow measured monthly in the Solfatara confirms an increasing trend, with high values of around 5000 t/d.
Campi Flegrei, night of tremors: 3.1 magnitude earthquake wakes people up
Naples – A magnitude 3.1 earthquake was recorded at 3:23 AM in the Campi Flegrei area. According to data from the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), the quake had a very shallow hypocenter, approximately 2 kilometers deep, with its epicenter located approximately 5 kilometers from Pozzuoli, in the area…
Pozzuoli, a thousand flowers in the dock: "A symbol of the fight against bradyseism."
An explosion of color invaded the Pozzuoli dock, increasingly affected by the rising ground that in recent months has reduced it to a nearly dry basin. Hundreds of flowers were thrown into the water by Pozzuoli merchants as a "symbol of the fight against bradyseism and of the rebirth of our city," a simple yet powerful act in a place that once offered shelter to fishermen at the foot of the Rione Terra district and which today is one of the most tangible symbols of the seismic crisis.
The "Darsena Pozzuoli" committee, founded four years ago and now increasingly a point of reference for operators in the area, explains the reasons behind the initiative: "The initiative is an opportunity to send a positive message in light of the economic and social crisis affecting the area following the seismic events of the last two years." The symbolic action comes at a time when many businesses are dealing with drops in footfall and widespread fears, made even more evident by the recent tremors.
The floating pontoon in the Port of Pozzuoli will be operational in January: the plan to overcome bradyseism
Yesterday, a strategic meeting was held at the Prefecture in Naples, convened by Prefect Michele di Bari. The meeting was dedicated to updating the Port of Pozzuoli's infrastructure, which is severely impacted by bradyseismic activity. The meeting was attended by Fulvio Soccodato, Special Commissioner for the Implementation of Public Works in the Phlegraean Fields; Luigi Manzoni, Mayor of Pozzuoli; and…
