Another in a series of "places where I'd sleep lightly". Seriously, the Campi Flegrei is considered a very hazardous volcanic area, with the sleeping giant Vesuvius right beside it. (It's considered hazardous because, well, there are so many people living on top of it.) See the volcano "Monte Nuovo" in the image from space? It formed in a Paricutin-like eruption in 1538 -- in a week.

Looks like there are many old craters around the harbor: most espicially that little one at the tip!
