Etna Book

A story that began half a million years ago and today extends over three thousand three hundred meters high, dominating a landscape that is redesigned with each new eruption. Welcome to Etna, a continent inhabited by a million people, dreamed of and visited by tourists and scholars. A multifaceted entity that is volcano and mountain together, nymph, god, male and female, or perhaps neither one nor the other. To each his own Etna, one could write, paraphrasing Sciascia. And it is like this also 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.
