The Campi Flegrei area, as we well know, is a particularly seismic area: in this case, however, the earthquakes they are not due to the activation of the faults, but are caused from bradyseism, or the periodical raising and lowering of the ground. Since January 2025, the ground lifting in Rione Terra has been 25.5cm.
The shock was recorded after a period of relative seismic tranquility in the Campi Flegrei, as confirmed by the data reported in the latest weekly bulletins released by INGV.
