A magnitude 4.7 earthquake struck the Campi Flegrei area west of Naples, Italy, at 19:46 local time on July 31, 2026 — the strongest tremor recorded in the region in decades. The shallow quake, centered near Pozzuoli at a depth of about 3 km, was widely felt across the Naples metropolitan area and triggered a series of aftershocks, including a notable magnitude 3.8 event later that evening.
The earthquake caused localized damage, including fallen debris, damaged buildings, and disruption to the Pozzuoli port. Rail traffic in the Naples hub was suspended as a precaution, and ferry services were halted. Power outages affected several neighborhoods. Official reports indicate around 10 people sustained mild injuries, with no fatalities.
These events are linked to the ongoing bradyseism at Campi Flegrei, a volcanic caldera where slow ground uplift and pressurized hydrothermal fluids continue to generate seismic activity. Authorities and the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) are closely monitoring the situation
