The weak eruptive activity from the Voragine crater vent persists.

A vivid glow from the webcam indicates highly likely the ongoing spattering from the crater. Moreover, the recent Sentinel-2 satellite image acquisition of the volcano from the 20 June captured the strong thermal anomaly in the Central crater complex in the Voragine crater and even in the Bocca Nuova crater.
