Italy - Somma Vesuviana - Vesuvius region inhabitants

Felicia and Baldassare and De Simons, in their kitchen in the village of Somma Vesuviana, in the Red (evacuation) Zone on the western slope of Vesuvius which last erupted in 1944. Their family have owned this land for generations, the family would choose to stay if the volcano erupts again. "I was born here, I grew up here, I will die here, I've never been afraid here," says Baldassare. But Giuseppe Mastrolorenzo at the Vesuvius Volcano Observatory in Naples adds, "There would be no modern precedent for an evacuation of this magnitude .. This is why Vesuvius is the most dangerous volcano in the world." From the chapter entitled 'Under the Volcano' and from the book 'Risk Wise: Nine Everyday Adventures' by Polly Morland (Allianz, The School of Life, Profile Books, 2015).
