Since January 28 2003, no eruptive activity had been observed except for sporadic gas emissions from Northeast Crater and from a vent within Bocca Nuova crater. On February 12 and 14, however, a minor emission of ash was observed from the summit crater, suggesting the renewal of magma within the upper conduit; the first to occur since the end of the 2002-2003 flank eruption. Since January, several shallow earthquakes have been recorded at Pernicana fault on the volcano's NE flank.
