Warning to Napoli Fans About Celebrating Near Mount Vesuvius

Authorities have requested Napoli fans, who are preparing to celebrate their team's first Serie A title win since 1990, to stay away from Mount Vesuvius, which overlooks the southern Italian city of Naples. Concerns arose from reports regarding plans by fanatical Napoli supporters to set off fireworks to illuminate the volcano in the colors of the Italian flag if the team wins the league on Sunday. Officials described these plans as dangerous. Napoli will secure the title for the third time if they win against Salernitana and Lazio, currently in second place, falters against Inter Milan at the San Siro Stadium. Park commissioner Raffaele De Luca stated, "We are all happy about Napoli's success, which will be a pride for our region and bring joy to the people. However, celebrations must remain within the bounds of civilized behavior." Notably, the volcano erupted in 79 AD, leading to the destruction of the nearby Roman city of Pompeii, and it remains active.
