Abstract
Pyroclastites, whose facies and chemical composition are congruent with tho se described for the Campanian Ignimbrite, have been located close to the G ulf of Policastro, 150 km southeast of Naples. This doubles the extent of t he direction formerly known for this igneous event, which appears in a much greater magnitude than previously hypothesised.
