Mount Vesuvius is the famous volcano that buried the city of Pompeii in ash in 79 A.D.
Mount Vesuvius is considered to still be active but the eruptions since that time have not been as catastrophic - although several of them have been quite massive.The worst recent ones occurred in 1906 and 1944. In 1906 more than 100 people were killed and Vesuvius released the most lava it ever has in a single eruption. In 1944 It destroyed the villages of San Sebastiano al Vesuvio (;ava flows overran the city although the people escaped), Massa di Somma, Ottaviano (buried in ash - although not as quickly as Pompeii so the people got out), and part of San Giorgio a Cremano (lava filled most of the lower parts of the city while many took refuge in a church which stood a little higher than the surrounding buildings) as well as 78 to 88 aircraft at the Pompeii Airfield near Terzigno, Italy, where the USAAF 340th Bombardment Group was based.
