Italy has much more active volcanoes than 3! E.g. Volcano or the Phlegraean Fields. It is just that they are recently not erupting.

Mar 23, 2019
According to the Oxford Dictionary, a 'sea' must be an expanse of salt water, and it could be used to refer to a large lake. The Caspian Sea fits in both of these categories, so it is arguably a 'sea'.
