Mount Etna Book

A story that began half a million years ago and today extends over three thousand three hundred meters in height, dominating a landscape that reshapes itself with each new eruption. Welcome to Mount Etna, a continent inhabited by a million people, dreamed of and visited by tourists and scholars. A multifaceted entity that is both volcano and mountain, nymph, god, male and female, or perhaps neither. Everyone has their own Etna, one might write paraphrasing Sciascia. And so it is in this travel notebook, where, between a granita and a glass of wine, walks, caves, breathtaking scenery and expanses of lava sea that have also illuminated Pasolini's films and inspired Battiato's music are revealed.
