Authorities in Pompeii are downplaying concerns after smoke was seen rising from nearby Mount Vesuvius, describing it as minor activity with no threat to the city. Residents have been advised to carry on as normal, with officials stressing there is no need for alarm. Our experts remain confident the volcano will not erupt, noting its long period of inactivity, dismissing any calls for evacuation. They insist the situation is stable and fully under control, with no reason to expect sudden disaste
