Dubious Status
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:
“I have known a number of Don Juans who were good studs and who cavorted between the sheets without a psychiatrist to guide them. But most of the busy love-makers I knew were looking for masculinity rather than practicing it. They were fellows of dubious lust.”
—Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
“His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.”
—A.J. (Arthur James)
