Short summary
15ky ago a great eruption occurred in the Campi Flegrei. The Neapolitan Yellow Tuff, produced by this eruption extended itself for more than 1000 km2 and represents an easily recognizable level both in the Tyrrhenian Sea and on land. Here, through a seismostratigraphic study, we have identified and described the extension of these deposits in the Gulf of Gaeta. Knowing the areal extension of the Campi Flegrei eruptions deposits, helps to build volcanic risk maps for an area densely populated.
