184 million euro help funds
In February, the Italian government provided 184 million euros for the area around the Super Volcano near Naples. 50 projects in the field of the Phlegraian fields, for example, must be financed to reduce the effects of constant earthquakes on buildings and infrastructure in the area.

• The Phlegraic Fields, an area with high volcanic activity, have been chased by many small earthquakes for some time. Usually the small and barely noticeable vibrations that weaken the crust of the earth in the area. The alarm level yellow has been in force for the area for eleven years, which requires caution. However, stronger earthquakes have also taken place in recent months. Finally, there was an earthquake of the power of 4.4 last May. That was the strongest earthquake for 40 years.

• The shocks are connected to the Super Volcano, which last broke out more than 80 years ago. The last outbreak so far started on March 18, 1944 and lasted ten days. Despite the evacuation of more than 10,000 people, 26 were killed at that time. After the serious earthquake on 20 May, exercises were performed for mass evacuation. About 800,000 people live in the Seismian area.

• In 79 AD, the old city of Pompeii buried after several outbreaks of Vesuvi Ash, Mud and Lava. The complex is now one of the most visited sights in Italy.
