Earthquake Shakes Campi Flegrei Again

Published: 2025-03-15

A 3.5 magnitude earthquake struck Campi Flegrei near Naples on Friday evening, alarming residents already on edge from recent tremors.

The quake, with an epicenter in Via San Gennaro Agnano, caused buildings to creak and plaster to fall, though no major damages were reported.

Residents in Pozzuoli and Bagnoli are fleeing their homes, frustrated by ongoing seismic activity and a lack of adequate housing options.

Local officials are demanding more resources, including police, firefighters, and technical support, to ensure safety and manage the crisis.

Temporary shelters have been set up, but many fear the region is unprepared for stronger quakes.

Authorities continue to monitor the situation as tensions rise among the affected communities.
