Mt. Vesuvius as seen from the ruins of Pompeii, which was destroyed when it erupted in AD 79. The active cone is the high peak on the left side. The smaller one on the right is part of the Somma caldera wall.

Mount Vesuvius (Italian: Monte Vesuvio, Latin: Mons Vesuvius) is a stratovolcano on the Gulf of Naples, Italy. It is about 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) east of Naples. It is the only volcano on the mainland of Europe that erupted in the last 100 years. The last major eruption was in 1944. Two other important active volcanos in Italy, Etna and Stromboli, are on islands.
