Name(s) in local language(s):
Solfatara di Làtera, Làtera volcano, Viterbo, Lazio, Italia


This solfatara near Làtera village (1.5 km SW from it) belongs to the volcanic complex of Làtera caldera, which embraces part of Latium region (the main complex lays in this region) and part of Tuscany.

The products of Latera volcano, which include ignimbrite units, layered tuffs, lavas and cinder cones, occupy the whole of the western flank of Vulsini and are distributed around a caldera of 6 x 7 km. Latera plateau consists of at least 8 km³ of tuffs exposed outside the caldera, while a further 7 km³ of intra-caldera tuffs have been revealed by drilling (Barberi et al. 1984; Turbeville 1993).
