Campi Flegrei: Italy's Supervolcano Keeps Rumbling — Earthquakes Continue Near Naples

Half a million people are living directly on top of a massive, active supervolcano near Naples, Italy, and the ground will not stop shaking.

The Campi Flegrei caldera is experiencing a relentless and escalating crisis defined by a phenomenon called bradyseism—the slow, vertical rise of the ground—and a swarm of thousands of earthquakes. All the metrics volcanologists use to assess volcanic unrest are trending upward, and scientists cannot predict what will happen next.

In this video, we break down the terrifying data: The Scale of the Threat: Over 5,100 earthquakes have rattled the region in 2025—more than all of last year combined. The ground has lifted an astonishing 4.6 feet (1.4 meters) since 2005 and is now accelerating at nearly half an inch per month. The Biggest Tremors: The magnitude 4.6 earthquake in June 2025 was the strongest in four decades, causing a coastal ridge to collapse. An AI analysis uncovered a shocking 54,000+ tremors between 2022 and 2025—four times more than previously recorded. The Human Stakes: 1.3 million people live in the volcano's shadow, with 500,000 in the high-risk "red zone." The Government's Preparations: The Italian government has approved over a billion euros for emergency prep and conducted a mass evacuation drill (Exe Flegrei 2025), simulating the 72-hour window to move half a million people out if the current Yellow Alert is raised to Orange.

The system is venting pressure, but the pressure keeps building. We explore the critical distinction between hydrothermal and magmatic unrest, the historical precedents that show this caldera's catastrophic power, and the best-case/worst-case scenarios for one of Europe's most dangerous active supervolcanoes.

Is Campi Flegrei about to erupt? The honest answer is: no one knows. But everyone is watching.
