Cracks in walls and falling cornices were reported, Italy's Fire Brigade spokesman confirmed to CNN.
Campi Flegrei super volcano Monday evening, causing mild damage in the town of Pozzuoli, the epicenter, and as far away as the city of Naples, some 20 kilometres away, according to Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology .The 4.4 earthquake at a depth of 3 kilometres is the strongest earthquake to hit the highly seismic area in the past 40 years, according to INGV data.The quake is part of an ongoing "seismic storm" that has seen more than a dozen events over 2.
The last major eruption of the supervolcano was in 1538, which resulted in the creation of a new bay on the southern Italian coast. The INGV has noted an increase of seismic activity since 2022, which could be due either to the building up of magma under the surface or the building up of gases, according to several volcanologists.The volcano is about 50 kilometres from Mt Vesuvius, and prone to a phenomenon known as bradyseism, during which the ground raises and falls due to pressure under the surface.
