The Campi Flegrei area is also shaking: a magnitude 3.1 earthquake has struck.

A night of apprehension in Campania, where seismic activity affected two sensitive areas: the Phlegraean Fields and the Avellino area. While Irpinia is trying to recover from last night's magnitude 4.0 earthquake, the Phlegraean volcanic area was hit by an intense seismic swarm, rekindling concerns about bradyseism.

Campi Flegrei: seismic swarm with peak magnitude 3.1

The latest sequence began last night, with the Vesuvius Observatory recording a magnitude Md=3.1 (±0.3) tremor with its epicenter located in Pozzuoli. According to communications from the Municipality, the swarm is still ongoing and has already counted at least 29 seismic events.

Unlike the more widespread activity of recent days, the overnight tremors were concentrated in a small area, a phenomenon that experts do not consider surprising given the volcanic-tectonic characteristics of the area.

The anger of the forgotten displaced

In Pozzuoli, the earthquake emergency is intertwined with a serious social issue: the anger of displaced people affected by bradyseism. Many of them will soon see their self-relocation allowance (CAS), a vital financial support for those forced to leave their homes declared uninhabitable, expire.

The crux of the matter is the funding for property renovation, which remains a puzzle due to alleged delays and regulatory uncertainties, particularly regarding the Budget Law.

The displaced are not remaining silent and have addressed an open letter to the Minister of Civil Protection, Nello Musumeci, requesting urgent financial assistance from the government to unblock the recovery work and ensure their return to their homes. Their situation is emblematic of the bureaucratic and financial difficulties that follow seismic crises in Italy.
