Flegrei and Ischia) and continues in the Aeolian islands, in eastern Sicily (Etna), and along the Sicily Channel. Young volcanism in Sardinia has ages of about 5 to 0.1 Ma. Several Pliocene to active seamounts occur on the Tyrrhenian Sea floor.

The volcanoes in the Campania Province, Pontine Islands and Vulture are composed of a wide variety of magma types. Silica undersaturated ultrapo-tassic volcanism is restricted to Somma-Vesuvio, whereas mildly undersaturated to oversaturated potassic rocks occur at Campi Flegrei, Ischia, Procida and Ventotene. In the latter two islands, low potassium compositions close to calc-alkaline basalts are found among lavas and lithic ejecta. Pliocene calc-alkaline rocks are found as rhyolites at Ponza and as basalts and basaltic andesites beneath the Campanian Plain. At Vulture, volcanism is highly enriched in both Na and K, a composition that is distinct from any other volcano in the Italian peninsula. 

The alum deposits on the island of Ischia outside Napoli were worked in the 12 century ad, but new applications for alum, such as for instance in the taiming of leather, increased demand so much that alum had to be imported from the Middle East Roman alum workers were active in Syria, and Roman merchants took care of the deliveries to their home provinces. However, everything was changed by Turkish expansion in the 15 century. The Romans had to return home not only to unemployment but also to the task of finding new domestic deposits of alum. In a barren mountain district at Tolfa near Rome they found the same type of vegetation that they...
