Earthquakes Shake Campi Flegrei

Published: 2025-02-05

Residents of Campi Flegrei, near Naples, were shaken by over 50 earthquakes in a single morning, the strongest reaching a magnitude of 3.1. The seismic swarm, linked to ongoing ground uplift since 2005, caused significant concern but no reported damage.

Schools in the area were temporarily evacuated, with some suspending classes as a precaution.

Local authorities, including the Civil Protection and police, conducted safety checks, confirming no immediate risks.

The Prefecture of Naples convened a monitoring meeting to assess the situation.

Experts warn that such events may continue as the ground uplift persists.
