I read somewhere that the Naples seaport is rising due to the caldera that underlies the region and fuels Vesuvius. It might be the presage of one gigantic blow!

I heard that too. There was a show on TV about how Vesuvius apparently undergoes massive eruptions on a cyclical basis and there was one many centuries before the 79 a.d. eruption which was much bigger - it spread over the entire Bay of Naples.
Like Americans on the San Andreas Fault, Neapolitans are flirting with a hideous death.
