In the morning of 4 October 2023, the quiet of Naples was interrupted. There Solfatara, set like a gem in the Phlegraean area, was the scene of a seismic phenomenon that attracted the attention of authorities and citizens. A suspected case of bradyseism made the event even more interesting, fueling further scientific and popular discussions.
Technical details of the earthquake
Strictly monitored by INGV Operations Room Campi Solfatara of Naples, the earth decided to "move" right at 10:36 of the morning. As for the magnitude, the data is still being processed. However, the depth seems to be around usual 3 km, a sort of “signature” of the local geology given that all the recent earthquakes were at that depth. The information comes directly fromNational Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), the authoritative voice in the field of seismology and volcanology.
