US EditionEarthquake Damages Part of Pompeii Site in Southern Italy
- A minor earthquake measuring 3.2 struck southern Italy on Thursday morning, causing partial collapse at the Pompeii archaeological site.
- The tremor, part of a sequence of regional seismic events, originated close to the Campi Flegrei volcanic area located adjacent to Naples.
- The quake damaged a wall and a vault in an area of Pompeii previously affected by a major 1980 earthquake and subsequently shored up.
- Officials confirmed no injuries occurred and the damaged structure contained no frescoes or movable relics, while site director Gabriel Zuchtriegel said inspections continue to ensure no other areas were affected.
- Pompeii, a World Heritage Site preserved under volcanic ash from Mount Vesuvius’s 79 AD eruption, remains open to about 2.5 million visitors annually despite the latest damage.
