Question: who would ever live in a place where there are 25 earthquakes a day? Answer: 30,000 Italians in the city of Pozzuoli on the coast near Naples. For the last 15 years their city has been rising over three inches a month. Go away for a week's holiday and your house could be an inch higher when you come back. Now the pattern is changing; the earthquakes are becoming larger ... and the people are starting to leave. After all, Pompeii and Herculaneum are just down the road.
