This report shows the results of some numerical analyses aimed to simulate two rainfall-induced landslides events, recorded on October 13th, 2004 and on September 17th, 2005, which involved the pyroclastic deposits of the south-eastern side of a hill, known as Camaldoli hill, set inside the western sector the urban district of Naples.
The analyses of the transient infiltration due to the rainfall have been performed by means of a commercial finite element code, devoted to 2D analyses of soil water flow in saturated and unsaturated condition.
