New shock at Campi Flegrei: concern grows over seismic activity in the Naples area. On May 13, 2025, at 12:07 p.m., a earthquake of magnitude 4.4 hit the Campi Flegrei area, with epicenter between Pozzuoli and Bagnoli, in the metropolitan city of Naples. A little while ago, May 14, a new shock was recorded, slightly lighter, of magnitude 3.1. Two shocks in a few hours and the concern in the city begins to grow.
Both tremors were distinctly felt by the local population, generating moments of panic and apprehension. Fortunately, no serious damage to people or buildings was reported, but the event falls within a context of increasing seismic activity in the area.
Naples: seismic activity remains high
In recent months, Campi Flegrei has experienced an intensification of the seismic swarm. Since February 2025, numerous earthquakes have occurred, with magnitudes up to 3.9. On March 13, 2025, another earthquake caused minor damage and one person was injured due to the collapse of a false ceiling. Local authorities, together with the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), are constantly monitoring the situation.
Collaboration between institutions, the scientific community and citizens is essential to effectively address the challenges posed by the seismic activity of Campi Flegrei.
