No, Mount Vesuvius is a composite volcano and its latest eruption was in 1944.
Some sources say that in that eruption, Mt. Vesuvius collapsed in a caldera, but it didn't.
FYI:
A caldera is a volcano that had an extremely explosive eruption that emptied the magma chamber, causing the volcano to collapse in on itself. An example of a caldera is Crater Lake in Oregon.
