On a Thursday evening in July, the earth beneath Naples shifted once more — as it has countless times across the centuries — this time with a force of 4.7, enough to darken neighborhoods, crack facades, and remind a city built atop one of Europe's most restless geological foundations that the ground it stands on is never entirely still. No lives were lost, yet the tremor left behind the familiar arithmetic of seismic disruption: power severed, structures questioned, and a community once again measuring its resilience against forces older than the city itself.
