The Solchiaro eruption (< 22 ka) is the last volcanic event on Procida Island. Following the Solchiaro eruption, no further volcanic activity has been recorded on Procida, and the island has no fumaroles and shows little seismic activity. Procida is covered by the products of later eruptions from nearby Phlegrean Fields (Campi Flegrei) and Ischia, and the products of Procida eruptions are exposed along the mainland coast, interbedded with Phlegrean Fields (Campi Flegrei) and Ischia products.
The Solchiaro eruption built a tuff ring; the maximum thickness of the Solchiaro deposits is 60 m, with a basal diameter of 2.4 km. Solchiaro outcrops are abundant along most of the coast of Procida. Proximal Solchiaro deposits are stratified and lithified yellow tuffs with bomb sags and deep erosive channels, whereas distal deposits are gray and range from partially lithified to unlithified tuffs.
