Volsini volcano; Vulsini Volcanic District; Vulsini Volcanic Complex; Vulsinian District
Circular region of intrusive igneous rock, which contains a cluster of Pleistocene calderas known to have been active in recent geologic and historical times: Bolsena, Latera, Vepe and Montefascione.
Complex extends over c. 2200 km² with the extrusive products having an estimated volume over 40 km³ (Turbeville 1993). Eruptions occurred from over 100 volcanic centres, the products of which are predominantly pyroclastic with relatively minor lava flows.
