Yes, Mount Vesuvius has erupted many times over the last 2000 years. During the most famous eruption, several Roman towns were buried in lava.
The cities of Herculaneum, Pompeii, and Stabiae were destroyed by ash and mud on August 24, 79 AD, when the top of Mount Vesuvius was blown off during a violent eruption.
The 1991-93 eruption of Mount Etna caused significant damage to the surrounding towns and infrastructure. The lava flows destroyed homes, roads, and agricultural land in the affected areas. Additionally, ash fall from the eruption disrupted air travel and caused respiratory issues for local residents.
The most famous city that was destroyed by the eruption was Pompeii. However the towns of Herculaneum. Stabiae and possibly Nuceria also were destroyed, in addition to the resort area of Oplontis.

Yes, Vesuvius is still regarded as an active volcano, although its current activity produces little more than steam from vents at the bottom of the crater.The eruption of Mt. Vesuvius of March 1944, is the last eruption occurred at Vesuvius. Since then the volcano has been in a quiescent stage without any major sign of activity
The 1790 eruption of Kilauea is considered the most violent in the recent record of eruption of Kilauea. The specific changes of the landscape are not specifically known as there are no artist interpretations or photographs from before the eruption. All that is known about the eruption comes from dating of rocks to the eruption as well as legends from the native Hawaiian people. It is speculated that the eruption could have made the summit caldera up to 1,500 Ft. deep. Also most of the large boulders along the rim of crater drive as well as at the summit are also ejecta from that eruption.
