L'eruzione che quasi cancellò Napoli — e quasi nessuno la conosce. (Ricostruzione IA)

Everyone knows about Pompeii and the apocalypse of 79 AD, but history has forgotten an even more violent, immediate, and terrifying disaster. On December 16, 1631, after centuries of absolute silence, Vesuvius suddenly awoke, darkening the skies of Naples in broad daylight and threatening to obliterate the entire city forever. What happened in those dramatic hours? Through the diaries and extraordinary accounts of contemporary witnesses, such as the priest Giulio Cesare Braccini, we reconstruct minute by minute the eruption that shook the 17th century. From the invisible biological signals detected by animals eleven days earlier, to the total blackout at midday, the rivers of boiling mud, and the roars that resounded like cannons in the bowels of the earth. We will also discover how this trauma forever changed our relationship with volcanoes, leading centuries later to the creation of the Vesuvius Observatory, and how that same shadow still haunts a city of 3 million people today.
