According to the Italian newspaper Il Tempo, former Italian mayor Roberto Fico is advocating for the creation of a special law for the Campi Flegrei, an area of ​​continuous brady-seismic activity near Pozzuoli in southern Italy. The objective, according to Fico, would be "to clearly and permanently define the unique status of the Campi Flegrei." The newspaper treats the proposal with irony, questioning whether a legal definition would resolve the constant tremors affecting the local population.

Il Tempo argues that no parliament can intervene in nature, whether against earthquakes, droughts, or heat. The text cites the novel "Il Sangue di San Gennaro" by Sándor Márai to illustrate the region's historical relationship with volcanic phenomena: populations forget quickly and learn slowly.
