The volcano of CampiFlegrei lies immediately to the west of Napoli, and its deposits form much of the hills on which the higher areas of that city have been constructed.
The CampiFlegrei caldera is well known for a phenomenon named "bradyseism" which is the alternating uplift and sinking of the ground within the caldera.
CampiFlegrei (and its eastward extension into the area of the city of Napoli) are considered a potentially highly dangerous volcanic area.
