The most dangerous volcanic region in the world

Mount Vesuvius (in Italian Monte Vesuvio and in Latin Mons Vesuvius) is the only volcano on the European mainland to have erupted within the last hundred years, although it is not currently erupting.

Mount Vesuvius is on the coast of the Bay of Naples, about nine kilometres (six miles) east of Naples and a short distance from the shore. Mount Vesuvius is best known for its eruption in AD 79 that led to the destruction of the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. It has erupted many times since and is today regarded as one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world because of the population of 3,000,000 people now living close to it and its tendency towards explosive eruptions. It is the most densely populated volcanic region in the world.

There has been a total breakdown in the garbage disposal system in Naples. All the garbage land-fills are full and the government/municipality have no idea as to what to do next. Garbage just lies on the streets and fills the air with stench.

Well .... these are some of the nicknames for Rome. And it is no wonder. It is a fascinating city - the third most frequented city in Europe by tourists.
