The Carrington App has this alert called "Paroxsym Detected" and I get them all the time for Kilauea, but I've never received one for Campi Flegrei.

Until today

More info in the comments below. Basically, this elevates the "watch level" per se, mainly for Observers who know what Flegrei is capable of......

Per @Dagger 6

Time: July 12 at 13:39:06 local Italian time
Magnitude: Md 1.2 ±0.3
Depth: 2.5 km
Status: Reviewed by INGV
Quality: B

Two additional detections appear earlier today, at 04:56 and 05:13 local time, but they remain low quality automatic locations without published magnitudes. INGV explicitly warns that automatic records can contain substantial errors.
What is and is not verified:
Verified: Shallow seismic activity occurred within the Campi Flegrei monitoring area today.
Not yet verified: An ongoing earthquake swarm, meaningful acceleration, volcanic tremor, magma ascent or a change in alert status.
Current official status: Yellow alert remains in effect. I found no new INGV or Civil Protection escalation notice issued today.
The live catalog can lag while events are reviewed, so this is a present snapshot, not proof that nothing else is occurring.

You will have to translate to English as I am able to do.

 
Per @Dagger 6

The Kīlauea notification may have been triggered by genuine precursor activity, but “explosive outburst detected” still overstates the official information.
USGS reported:
Precursory spatter bursts and intermittent volcanic tremor.
Magma close to the surface.
Episode 51 of lava fountaining expected within the July 12–14 window.
The most recent message said visible spattering had stopped as the summit entered deflation.
The official status remained ADVISORY/YELLOW, with no confirmed start of Episode 51 at the time checked.

 
Per @AClark
When INGV triggers it’s substantial. Think of carrington as the ai that’s monitoring all the precursor data. If the threshold for the alert is reached it’ll trigger the alert which is much different than INGV. The data has been increasing over time. Nothing new and crazy has happened or it would have for sure triggered ingv and the whole world would be on alert at that point

But the alert is helpful because it points to what people need to be watching before the substantial events happen.

Helps us understand the quakes, the magma movement. The new routes and paths it may be taking
