音频游览The Volcanoes in Sicily: Etna, Vulcano and Stromboli

The volcanoes have always scared, amazed and released people’s imagination.

There are many anecdotes, stories and legends about these fascinating and threatening works of the earth: starting from Empedocles, who rushed into the crater of Etna to discover the secrets of its eruptive activity, to Theodoric, king of the Ostrogoths, who ended up being dragged into it by his skittish horse.

Here is a "fiery" tour for you!

The introductory video on this tour tells the story of the master Barbaro Messina of Paternò, who has transformed lava stone into a very high form of artistic craftsmanship. The video is by Marina Cafà, by Identitas Sicilia.
