#Terremoto #Naples, #INGV confirmed that at the moment, there are no elements that suggest an imminent eruption in the Campi Flegrei. This clarification comes following the recent earthquake of magnitude 4.4 that has sparked concern among the population.
Article Key Points
Details on Tonight's Earthquake
The director of the Vesuvius Observatory, Francesca Bianco, provided an account of the seismic event, highlighting a marked directivity of the shock, which propagated the energy mainly towards the east, in the direction of the city of Naples. In particular, the Posillipo district recorded a significant acceleration of the ground, an important parameter for the quantification of earthquakes.
Updates from the Bradyseism Intensification Phase
Mauro Di Vito, director of the Vesuvius Observatory, added that further seismicity can be expected. According to him, the current signal, along with other factors, indicates that the process of bradyseism in the region is continuing at a rapid pace. However, the intensity of any future events remains uncertain, since there is no direct relationship between ground uplift and seismic magnitude, making these events unpredictable.
The Phenomenon of Bradyseism
The INGV has clarified that the bradyseismic phenomenon is going through another phase of intensification, similar to what happened in the months of August 2023 and May 2024. Despite this, for a real volcanic eruption, the magma should rise to the surface, but at the moment there are no indicators of such activity.
Attention and Monitoring
Continuous monitoring of the area remains essential. The experts of the INGV will continue to follow the situation and provide regular updates on the seismic and volcanic conditions of the area, thus ensuring maximum information to the resident population.

The article explains the current situation well, but I'm not sure it's all clear. They say there are no signs of an eruption, but people are still worried about the recent earthquake and I don't know if that's right. Even if they say the bradyseism continues, the information is confusing.
