San Gennaro shows up, puts up his hand, does a miracle, and the volcano calms down. The crowd is cheering. He's like a hero. The Roman emperor doesn't like this. He's getting very jealous. So he decides to have San Gennaro whacked. What's he do? Chopped off his head. OK, that sealed the deal... All right, look: The point of this whole dissertation, you know what it is?
