The epicenter of the earthquake was located near the Campi Flegrei super-volcano, a dormant caldera that lies just west of Naples. The volcano has been experiencing a period of increased seismic activity in recent months, with over 150 earthquakes recorded in the region in the past week.
Scientists are closely monitoring the situation, as the volcano has the potential to erupt in the future. The last major eruption of Campi Flegrei occurred in 1538, and it is estimated that an eruption of similar magnitude could devastate the entire Naples region.
As the situation continues to evolve, stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
