Volcanologist at work in Campi Flegrei
I was following a team of volcanologists from the INGV (National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology) to "Solfatara Pisciarelli", a hotspot in the Phlegraean Fields, where they study the gases that violently come out from the ground, to gain knowledge on the state of what is defined as one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the World. I asked Dr. Carmine Minopoli (portrayed) to stand for a few moments to take this environmental portrait, with the gas emission right behind him.
