SolfataraNews offers a live webcam feed of the Phlegraean Fields, pointing towards the Solfatara Caldera, Pozzuoli, Italy, with real-time data from five seismographs showing the constant plume of smoke from the Pisciarelli furmarole.

As a non-profit organization, and solely through a crowdfunding campaign, they have achieved what no government has: live streaming of a very sensitive area of ​​the Phlegraean Fields in Pozzuoli. The plume of smoke from the Pisciarelli furmarole can be seen daily.

The area is experiencing constant ground uplift, at a rate of 2.5 cm per month, and this uplift continues unabated. The temperature trend is rising daily (as SolfataraNews records and displays unfiltered in their videos, which we highly recommend you follow for real-time, undistorted news). At the end of this article you will find the links.

Recent earthquakes are a warning that something is happening in the area, while the government indicates that no significant changes are expected in the short term.

Away from official sources, and thanks to the work of SolfataraNews, we have firsthand information. We know the situation is unpredictable. An earthquake, landslide, or similar event cannot be predicted, but the population can be prepared and precise instructions given. Currently, the local government is going through a difficult period of transition, which could delay important decisions. Roads are closed, as SolfataraNews reports in videos and monitors daily. There are also areas that are not being monitored, which they have documented with a thermal camera drone, indicating unusual areas of the ground where the temperature is reaching extremely high levels.

The harbor has been practically dry for some time, preventing the few remaining boats from leaving. In the port, the subsoil is beginning to re-emerge, revealing historical remains that are currently underwater, and it seems they won't remain so for long.

The caldera is building pressure. It needs outlets, and the rains are worsening the situation, causing seepage into the subsoil, destabilizing the ground, and generating even more pressure. This is also causing ground movement, which is already under pressure, resulting in small to medium-sized earthquakes, clearly felt by the population.

Giuseppe Mastro Lorenzo

Professor Giuseppe Mastro Lorenzo, a world-renowned volcanologist and principal investigator at the INGV (National Institute of Volcanology and Volcanology), clearly states that this volcanic system can evolve rapidly and in ways that are difficult to predict, emphasizing the importance of planning. Other sources attempt to discredit him, suggesting he is seeking personal attention. We, however, rely on the professor's observations and the data provided daily by SolfataraNews. These are truly the most up-to-date and clear data ever provided for the area.

Meanwhile, the government is focused on planning for the future in a surprising way, preparing a major event that could bring thousands of people to the area, which is already difficult to evacuate. The municipal administrations of Pozzuoli continue to plan for major future events, investing significant resources in the creation of the Convention Center of the Americas. This prestigious event would bring international visibility and economic benefits.

Thanks to SolfataraNews, we know that the area is difficult to evacuate in the event of a major incident due to the closure of different evacuation zones, the number of people who would have to leave the area simultaneously, and the lack of clear and concise planning. So, how could they possibly evacuate the large crowd expected for such a major event?

We're not in a position to dictate who should do what, but as human beings, perhaps they should focus more on the population to create a clear plan, not just a drill with a few people, which is what they did recently. Logically, a bus traveling calmly through the city can leave at any time, but imagine that same bus in the chaos of a gridlocked population... what would happen to it? We leave that for everyone to decide.

We simply want to thank SolfataraNews for their selfless work. We had been professionally searching for a local source, specifically a webcam to view any events in that exact area live. We found nothing until SolfataraNews surprised us again with theirs. Mother Earth calls to us all, and these events demand our attention. At first, SolfataraNews surprised us with their daily drone flight and visible data, then with the drone equipped with a thermal camera, then with the webcam... and there's more to come, which we'll be announcing soon. Truly admirable work.

The great news is that we now have an online webcam of the Phlegraean Fields in Pozzuoli, thanks to them. The least we can do in these situations is to express our gratitude and take advantage of all the information—visual, with provided data, or audio—that SolfataraNews provides us firsthand, on the ground, day after day, and without filters, as time allows.

By the way. Tomorrow, Sunday, January 11, 2026, at 3:00 PM, they will be doing a live flight over the Solfatara caldera. We encourage you all to fly with them!

You can find the live webcam link directly on their channel or on their social media:
