The largest active volcano in Europe
Many schools suspended the classroom as a precautionary measure, and the Flegreian fields, the largest active volcano in Europe, were exposed to frequent earthquakes for some time and a yellow warning was issued to them more than ten years ago, which calls for caution.
In May 2024, the area was shaken by the fiercest earthquake that hit the country 40 years ago, and the power of the strongest of these sequenals was 4.4 degrees.
After the May earthquakes, the Italian government introduced new measures to deal with seismic risks, including improving buildings protection, and announced plans for a possible evacuation of the region.
