Vesuvius is a volcano located in Italy, in a dominant position with respect to the Gulf of Naples. It is one of the two active volcanoes in continental Europe and one of the most studied and dangerous in the world due to the high population of the surrounding areas and its explosive characteristics. It is believed that as early as 400 000 years ago the area of Vesuvius was subjected to volcanic activity, 39 000 years ago a really colossal eruption occurred, called Ignimbrite bell, during which they emitted up to 15 km³ of magma, however it seems that the mountain it began to form 30 000 years ago, probably as an underwater volcano in the Gulf of Naples; later emerged as an island, joined to the mainland for the accumulation of ejected materials. Between 19 000 years ago and 79 AD a series of violent eruptions took place interspersed with periods of quiet of the volcano. From Casa Carmela it is about 30/40 min by car.
