“Initially, it is just lava, arid soil. The first precursor is a lichen, which is typical of Vesuvius. It is endemic and it is called ‘stereocaulon vesuvianum”. This is the first living being that attaches itself to the rocks and begins to break it down, thus creating a substrate on which all other plant species subsequently follow one another.”

9. Various of lichen
10. Various set up shots of agriculturist Luigi Gallo walking on lava flow and observing rock with lichens
11. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Luigi Gallo, agriculturist:
“The soil will originate from this lichen. Following the colonization of the lichen, we have the colonization of the mosses, which we can see here on the rocks and, continuing with the formation of the soil, we will then have the settlement of various grasses, valerian, ferns, which are plants that need little soil to grow and are able to exploit the nutrients of the soil well.”

13. Wide of lava flow and plants
14. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Luigi Gallo, agriculturist:
“Lava flows have passed through this area over time and, obviously, during the pathogenesis process that we have described in the lava river area, the soil and its ecosystem are formed. We will get to this situation where we were before, maybe in 20, 50, 100 years, there will be a forest, like this one, an ecosystem that will reach its balance.”

“Vesuvius is considered among the most dangerous volcanoes due to the urban density around it, as are the Campi Flegrei. An evacuation plan including various phases is in place. The last phase precedes the eruptive event, we are not talking about a very long time. In this final phase, about five hundred thousand people will have to be evacuated.”

“For those who are born here, Vesuvius is a substantial part. I couldn’t imagine Naples and the Gulf without the silhouette of Vesuvius. But we must live close to it with respect and, above all, we must understand that we are close to a volcano that is still active. So, more than worry or fear, there is a deep respect for the volcano.”
