Campi Flegrei, a change of pace: bradyseism is no longer an emergency but a structural issue already at the top of the agenda.

The debate on bradyseism in the Phlegraean Fields is currently undergoing a political shift: the government has indicated a shift from an emergency to a structured management of the phenomenon. This is what emerges following the rejection of the amendments to the dedicated decree by the Chamber of Deputies. The widespread perception among local mayors is that we are moving toward a long-term framework, no longer tied to contingent events.

According to a statement from Bacoli's mayor, Josi Gerardo Della Ragione, the day's tone is clear: "Today's government takes a step forward," and "it's exactly what we mayors asked for." Minister Nello Musumeci's statements and the guidance from Palazzo Chigi demonstrate the desire to address the bradyseismic crisis as a structural part of territorial management, not as a one-off emergency.

The work coordinated by the Prefect of Naples, Michele Di Bari, which has accompanied the summer season, is cited as a useful basis for moving quickly towards concrete actions. However, the real challenge remains in rumors and facts: the mayors are demanding immediate responses to the displaced, interventions on homes, schools, and hillsides, and the stabilization of the situation through long-term public management tools, including the hiring of personnel to address bradyseism over time.

In this context, Della Ragione emphasizes the need for concrete steps: "Now, however, we need to move to action, and quickly," and calls on Rome to translate its commitments into concrete actions. The call is also clear for local governments, which have seen constant collaboration over the past three years and are now demanding consistency between what has been announced and what will be implemented locally.

In the absence of further immediate operational guidance, the framework remains this: tangible measures are needed from the central level to assist the displaced and secure homes and infrastructure, along with targeted intervention plans for schools and the surrounding hills. The mandate is clear: shift the narrative from a permanent emergency to a planned and sustainable management of bradyseism, placing the safety of residents and the stability of local communities at the center.
