Short summary
Short summary
On the basis of a a general thermodynamical model we derive a hyperbolic linear partial differential equation describing the ascent of the magma through the lithosphere. The model is based on a mix of conduction, rock partial melting, and buoyancy, and takes into account the heat dissipation due to the melting process.

Short summary
This paper reports a brief history of volcanic risk in the Neapolitan district, where the presence of three active volcanoes (Vesuvius, Campi Flegrei caldera and Ischia island) exposes this highly urbanized area to hazard of potential eruptions. I am trying to obtain new food for thought for the scientific community working to mitigate the volcanic risk of this area, revisiting about 40 years of debates around volcanic risk in Naples.
