Campi Flegrei recorded new earthquakes yesterday evening, shortly before 22 pm. Two seismic events, which occurred in rapid succession, alarmed the local population.
The tremors, clearly felt in the Phlegraean area, prompted many citizens to share their testimonies on social media. Not only the residents of Campi Flegrei, but also those of Naples, Quarto, Agnano and Pozzuoli reported having clearly felt the earthquake, accompanied, in some cases, by a loud roar.
According to data provided by the Vesuvius Observatory, the two earthquakes occurred approximately 20 seconds apart.
