Once again an article missusing the word supervulcano. This time, already failing the to tell, what they actually are.

For those interested, a vulcano is considered as a supervulcano, when it had an erruption with a vulcanic explosivity indwx of 8 at least once (meaning releasing at least 1000 cubic kilometer of vulcanic materials). There are no known supervulcanos in Italy

This one had at least one eruption with a force of 7. Give it time, there are no supervolcano calderas in Italy, so far.

At least found a source there telling, that it has the potential for doing a VEI 8 eruption (Still doesn't make it a SV now). Though they are generally way more concerned about the local poplulation when smaller eruptions happen.

Dunno, I just get easily irritated by the sensationalism of supervulcanoes. A vulcano does not need to be "super" to pose great threats
