Why people still live near Mount Vesuvius even though it may erupt again?

There already is a city near Mount Vesuvius: Naples. Naples has been there since long before anyone knew Mount Vesuvius was dangerous. The land around Mount Vesuvius is desireable because the volcanic soil is very fertile and excellent for growing crops.


What are the four volcanoes?

1. Vesuvius- it killed many people around modern day Naples, or Roman Pompeii and Herculaneum with its pyroclastic flow. Hence, volcanoes that are likely to cause one of the flows if called a versuvian volcano.2. Etna- this is most famous because of an awesome eruption in early Roman days, it dwarfs most of the island of Sicily.The roman god Vulcan was named after the unpredictability of the mountain.3. Mt. Stromboli- For at least the last 20,000 years, the same pattern of eruption has been maintained, in which explosions occurred at the summit craters with mild to moderate eruptions of incandescent volcanic bombs at intervals ranging from minutes to hours.The three main volcanoes in Italy are Mt. Vesuvius, Mt. Etna and Mt. Stromboli which is in Sicily.
