Stromboli The landscape of Stromboli, a land which film directors and wri- ters treasure, as well as travellers of yesterday and today, has a magical quality that can be sensed in the way in which the inha- bitants call its volcano: “Iddu”, “He”. This conveys a reverential awe towards a divine force, whose beauty however, can be fully enjoyed today, because the island can be approached in safety. During both the day and the night Stromboli conveys primordial emotions that evoke the succession of the seasons: by day, the broom’s scent of spring is combined with the summer colours of the bougainvillea, hibiscus and fig, whereas by night the invinci- ble force of the lava flow reaches its maximum glory and attenua- tes the harshness of autumn and of winter. When night comes, it draws Stromboli into an almost cosmic dimension, favoured by the absence of night-time lighting in the streets - a choice that preserves the island from light pollution. But when day returns, one discovers that the other side of this energy is an ancestral peace, a way to live far away from the frenetic rhythms of life on the continent. To experience this, allow yourself a walk through the villages of the island, and linger on the details that evoke this simplicity, which it is hard to find elsewhere - from the geckos climbing the walls of the white and blue houses of San Vincen- zo to the mules, still used today as transport along the alleys of Ginostra. Then, enjoy the local variations of the Aeolian cuisine such as the spaghetti alla Strombolana (with capers, tomatoes, oli- ves, anchovies and chili pepper) or the sesame cookies to dip in the classic Aeolian Malvasia wine. And towards the evening rea- ch the places where Stromboli offers the deepest shelter: moment by moment, the ancient magic of the Grotta di Eolo cave and of the beaches of Scari, Punta Lena and Ficogrande will share with you their vertiginous peace.
