Everything you need to know about Etna is here: myths and history, scientific theories, nature and the typical produce of the largest volcano in Europe recently recognized by UNESCO.
Etna is a Sicilian volcano, the highest terrestrial active volcano of the Eurasian plate. Its frequent eruptions throughout history have changed, sometimes even profoundly, the surrounding landscape, repeatedly threatening the populations that have settled around it over the millennia. On 21 June 2013, the XXXVII session of the UNESCO Committee included Mount Etna in the list of assets constituting the World Heritage Site.
The Valle del Bove is a large basin located on the eastern side of the Mount Etna, within the protected area of the Etna Park, in the territory of the municipality of Zafferana Etnea (CT).
