Seismic crisis and housing emergency in Campi Flegrei

Overview

The seismic and housing crisis in Campi Flegrei has intensified following the magnitude 4.7 earthquake on 31 July 2026. In response, the Italian government approved a €100 million emergency fund to support autonomous settlement, increase state contributions for seismic retrofitting to 70%, and accelerate technical inspections. While UniCredit announced a temporary suspension of mortgage payments for affected families, social unrest has grown; approximately one thousand residents recently blocked the port in Pozzuoli to demand faster housing aid and clearer evacuation plans.

The displacement crisis remains severe, with over 2,000 residents displaced and hundreds of buildings subject to evacuation orders. Civil Protection Minister Nello Musumeci stated that on an active volcano, “no one can guarantee safety,” noting that the government can only work to reduce risk exposure. This stance has drawn criticism from local mayors, such as Bacoli’s Josi Della Ragione, who have demanded more concrete actions.

Economic pressures persist as real estate speculation has caused rental prices to double or quadruple in areas like Pozzuoli and Bacoli. To combat this, the Campania Region is considering a €500,000 fund to cover 100% of IMU taxes for landlords who utilize agreed-rent contracts to provide affordable housing. Additionally, Campania Councilor Claudia Pecoraro announced that ACER tenants facing eviction due to seismic emergencies will not be required to pay rent for the period they cannot occupy their homes.
