Living in the shadow of Italy's volcanoes

Please note: In October 2017 we made an updated version of this video which has corrected a few of the subtitles, we advise using this new version of the video, however this one is still geographically accurate and usable in your classrooms.

Updated video can be found here:    • Living in the shadow of Italy's volca...  

The aim of this video is to consider the variety of volcanic landforms and the eruptive hazards in southern Italy. In visiting locations in the Bay of Naples, Sicily and the Aeolian Islands, this video interweaves narrative with interviews of local people affected by recent eruptions, expert guides and scientists tasked with monitoring Italy’s active volcanoes. The film considers the threats from future eruptions as well as the considerable benefits afforded to local people living in the shadow of some of Europe’s most iconic volcanoes.


In this video, we cover:

The causes and impacts of recent and historic volcanic eruptions, with visits to some of the localities directly affected
Informative diagrams to support the study of the complex processes associated with the destructive plate margin in southern Italy
Scientific assessments of volcano monitoring and community preparedness
Consideration of the possible impacts associated with the future volcanic eruptions
Positive impacts of volcanic eruptions on the local people


This video is suitable for all ages. It will act as an excellent support in the study of tectonic hazards particularly at GCSE and AS/A Level.
