Several volcanoes in Italy have reportedly erupted in the past, but these events are not confirmed.
- Roccamonfina, a volcanic complex 50 km north of Naples, reportedly erupted in 270 BC, but it is not sure if this event was really a volcanic eruption or not.
- Vulture, a volcanic complex in Basilicata. Last erupted 40,000 BC.
- Marsili, a submarine volcano in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Marsili rises 9,800 feet (3,000 metres) from the seabed in the Tyrrhenian sea southwest of Naples. Its summit is only 1,640 feet (500 metres) below the surface of the water. The volcano has not erupted during recorded history, but is active.

Famous quotes containing the words dubious and/or status:
“The more dubious and uncertain an instrument violence has become in international relations, the more it has gained in reputation and appeal in domestic affairs, specifically in the matter of revolution.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“A genuine Left doesn’t consider anyone’s suffering irrelevant or titillating; nor does it function as a microcosm of capitalist economy, with men competing for power and status at the top, and women doing all the work at the bottom.... Goodbye to all that.”
—Robin Morgan (b. 1941)
