#Earthquake In Pozzuoli, it was also felt strongly in Naples and in the northern area of Naples. My colleagues send me annoying videos and audios. The tremors have been going on for months, but “all is silent.” I hope that the authorities have a conscience, and not just a neoliberal conscience. pic.twitter.com/UtT6ZOPKKT
