| Campi Flegrei (Burning Fields) is a large volcanic area situated in
the west area of Napoli, Italy. It comprises
the Solfatara crater. First events of volcanism occurred in the area about 40,000
years ago.
In 1538, an 8-day eruption in the area deposited enough material to create a new hill, Monte Nuovo (the new
mountain)
