3.9-magnitude earthquake hits Naples, no damage reported
The Italian city of Naples (south) woke up today to a 3.9 magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale detected in the Phlegraean Fields, a huge volcanic caldera on the northern outskirts of the city, but it did not cause any damage in the region.

The earthquake was detected at a depth of three kilometers at the bottom of the sea, off the coast of the city of Bacoli, at 5:44 local time (4:44 in Lisbon), according to the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV).
The earthquake was felt in Naples and its residents took to the streets alerted, calling emergency services, although no damage has been reported so far.
This is an area of high seismic activity, the Gulf of Naples is located between the great volcano Vesuvius and the Phlegrean Fields, a caldera with about twenty craters, many of them submarine, and so named by the ancient Greeks.
On April 15th alone, 70 earthquakes were triggered, most of them of minimal intensity.
The Phlegrean Fields and nearby cities, where half a million people live, are experiencing a phenomenon that raises the ground level based on gas and magma accumulated in the depths (since January 2016 the local soil, in municipalities such as Pozzuoli, has increased 88 centimeters, according to the INGV).
Vesuvius, which two millennia ago, in 79 AD, devastated the Roman city of Pompeii, has not recorded an eruption for exactly eighty years.
On March 17, 1944, after a long period of seismic activity that began in 1914, it exploded, causing columns of smoke and lava, and after a week it fell asleep again until today, marked by low seismic activity (continuously controlled by the INGV).
