TLDR:

We have no idea, but it is potentially dangerous.

Click bait. Nothing at all new in the article.
Wikipedia actually sounds more worrying here than the clickbait article. Not sure I like that...

> On March 16, 2022, a magnitude 3.5 earthquake struck the Phlegraean Fields on the western edge of the Solfatara. On March 29, 2022, a magnitude 3.6 earthquake occurred east of the Solfatara. These two events were the strongest since the 1980s crisis.[12]

> In September 2023, the two most severe earthquakes in 40 years occurred in the region within a few weeks. On September 7th, a magnitude 3.8 earthquake shook the Phlegraean Fields. There was minor damage to buildings in Agnano, a suburb of Naples, and a power outage in Pozzuoli.[23] An even stronger earthquake with a magnitude of 4.2 was recorded on September 27th and was still felt in Rome. Once again there was minor damage to buildings.[24]

There is a video by Soup Emporium on Youtube that compares the uplift of the Yellowstone caldera to Campi Flegrei's. The video is queued up to where Campi Flegrei is discussed.

Italian here, the area is pretty hated and hoping for an eruption is pretty common in the rest of Italy...
only in the racist parts of Italy :)
So, Italy, except perhaps parts of the northwest
The northwest is the most racist part of Italy, ever been here?
No. Every part of Italy except for the Naples area. I agree with you, it's racist (despite no race being involved) but saying that doesnt happen is false
No one said it doesn't happen :)
