Eyjafjallajökull The Icelandic volcano, almost unpronounceable name, has lost 80 percent of its strength since the beginning of the eruption, and this bodes well at least on the future of air transport. However, this event impetuous, now ultimately will lead our thinking to an Italian volcano, Vesuvius, which last erupted in 1944. The very thought that Naples may awaken the volcano gives us a feeling of fear and anxiety, because in this case the problem is not the limitation or suspension of air traffic but the safety of residents near Vesuvius. The volcano in Naples, now in a "state of activity influenced by closed conduit" (as they say technically it contains when the magma has cooled solidifying), appears in a state of apparent calm, but his condition, according to leading experts and national International volcanology, which met in Italy last year at Naples and Catania for a joint summit in video conferencing, why not let me sleep soundly the risk of a violent eruption is real and that sleep can stop at any moment. Considering that the people who crowd the Vesuvius area are tens of thousands and volcanologists say that the eruption may also be advanced by earthquakes of magnitude 5, is to reflect the assumption of a system in other territories of all these people who daily risk their lives, in some cases, even unconsciously. You can not always act in fact occurred, it would be appropriate in this particular case, move in time. As science helps, and can often save lives, it would be useful at this historic moment to think of a building plan for a New Naples. A new city, "adjacent" to the historical, that would allow all those families who live near the volcano, and many others who live in the capital of Campania in difficult circumstances, they can be housed in a place protected from any of a new eruption and to hope for a safer future and a life worthy of the history of this wonderful city.
