New Campi Flegrei quake rocks Naples area

(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 13 - A new earthquake of magnitude 4.4 in the Campi Flegrei volcanic caldera rocked the Naples area overnight, causing scared people to take to the streets and causing some damage.
    The quake, which struck at 1.25 am on Thursday, was the biggest in the area for 40 years along with one of the same magnitude that hit it in May last year.
    Firefighters in the town of Bagnoli pulled a person out of the rubble after the quake caused a ceiling to collapse.
    Some people in the same town had to climb out of windows to get out of their homes due to damage caused by the quake.
    The Campi Flegrei area, also known the Phlegrean Fields in English, is currently being affected by bradyseism, or ground uplift, and there have been a series of earthquakes over the last year.
    Civil Protection Minister Nello Musumeci has appointed a special commissioner for the Campi Flegrei area to take care of risk-prevention measures.
    The minister has complained about how urban development had been allowed in the volcanic area over the decades. (ANSA).
