The region around the Campi Flegrei (Phlegraean Fields) volcano has been the scene of increased seismic activity in recent days.
Last week, a 4.2-magnitude quake was recorded in the region, the strongest in the past 40 years.
INGV director Mario Di Vito warned that “it is possible that there will be tremors of greater intensity” in the near future.
