The Phlegrean fields (Pozzuoli area you mention) have been on lots of people's radars for a while. They do offer lots of elements that are quite tempting in comparison with what is going on in the Voynich: volcanic activity, craters, vents, thermal baths, etc...

I'm actually surprised the area doesn't get discussed more. It's a natural fit...
Steam vents, craters, bath houses (many with grottoes and domed buildings), the earliest medical schools, the origin of some of the most important herbal illustrative traditions, a direct cultural/political connection to northern Italy via the Lombardic colonies (which led to the transport of classical texts to the north), and a multicultural history that resulted in translators of major languages being particularly active here.
