CAMPI FLEGREI, NAPLES, ITALY - JULY 24: The Phlegraean Fields (Campi Flegrei : burning fields) is a vulcanic area known for its unpredictable volcanic activity for more than 2000 years in Naples, Italy on July 24, 2024. There is increasing concern about the risks to the thousands of residents who live on the edge of this area which is close to the coast near Pozzuoli. The Mare Nostrum Dike is a boat with which smugglers trafficked people to the Italian coast, that was intercepted and confiscated by the Italian authorities and trusted to Archeoclub D'Italia. A geologist and an archaeologist who are experts on the volcanic phenomenon of the Campi Flegrei have been invited for an International Press tour. Giuseppe Longo, a respected vulcanologist and geologist from Naples, says local authorities are not doing enough to monitor the situation and prepare for a potential emergency and evacuation of the area. Seismic activity has been recorded in the area for centuries. Hot mineral springs and fumaroles are a constant phenomenon. Now archeologists have discovered extensive ruins from Ancient Rome submerged meters under water. Recent underwater excavation work around Baia has revealed the Temple of Serapis , actually a food market, as well as the remains of villas and art works. Archeologist Enrico Gallocchio said the Roman villas easily compared to the treasures of Pompeii and Herculaneum. He also called for greater action to preserve Roman ruins beneath the sea. “There is constant daily action from the sea. We don’t see concrete damage to the submerged structures because we know the area. But we have stopped the looting of objects under water . Many have been sold around the world” ( Victor Sokolowicz - Anadolu Agency )

The Phlegraean Fields (Campi Flegrei : burning fields) is a vulcanic area known for its unpredictable volcanic activity for more than 2000 years. There is increasing concern about the risks to the thousands of residents who live on the edge of this area which is close to the coast near Pozzuoli. The Mare Nostrum Dike is a boat with which smugglers trafficked people to the Italian coast, that was intercepted and confiscated by the Italian authorities and trusted to Archeoclub D'Italia. A geologist and an archaeologist who are experts on the volcanic phenomenon of the Campi Flegrei have been invited for an International Press tour. Giuseppe Longo, a respected vulcanologist and geologist from Naples, says local authorities are not doing enough to monitor the situation and prepare for a potential emergency and evacuation of the area. Seismic activity has been recorded in the area for centuries. Hot mineral springs and fumaroles are a constant phenomenon. Now archeologists have discovered extensive ruins from Ancient Rome submerged meters under water. Recent underwater excavation work around Baia has revealed the Temple of Serapis , actually a food market, as well as the remains of villas and art works. Archeologist Enrico Gallocchio said the Roman villas easily compared to the treasures of Pompeii and Herculaneum. He also called for greater action to preserve Roman ruins beneath the sea. “There is constant daily action from the sea. We don’t see concrete damage to the submerged structures because we know the area. But we have stopped the looting of objects under water . Many have been sold around the world” ( Victor Sokolowicz - Anadolu Agency )
