A study found that earthquakes and other movement has brought the volcano closer to the point of rupture.

    There have been tens of thousands of earthquakes around the volcano, and the town of Pozzuoli, which rests on top of Campi Flegrei, has been lifted by about 13 feet as a result of them.

    That must mess with house foundations, roads, and infrastructure.

    While Campi Flegrei — which means “burning fields” — may be closer to rupture, there is no guarantee that this will actually result in an eruption, the study concluded.

    I still wouldn’t want to live there.
