  • AEOLIAN ISLANDS STROMBOLI Day One: Stromboli
    AEOLIAN ISLANDS STROMBOLI Day One: Stromboli Stromboli is the northernmost island of the archipelago and the most spectacular for its continuously active volcano. On the way, you will stop for a nice swim in the clear blue water. At sunset the lava from the volcano glowes as it makes its way down to meet the sea with a loud hiss. To watch the eruptions is especially impressive at night Enjoy the volcanic eruptions lighting up the night sky, a fiery display of nature’s incredible power, while you taste the tasteful delicacies of the chef under the stars. PANAREA Day Two/Three: Panarea Morning departure for Panarea. Panerea is tiny, compared to the other islands, but is the most picturesque with its stark white houses and brilliant yellow ginestra bushes. This island is chic and exclusive. By boat is the best way to explore its coastline and enjoy its clear waters that, together with a thriving underwater landscape make this island the best place for snorkeling and diving in the Aeolians. The island’s charm lies not only in its natural beauty but in its unspoiled character and car-free tracks. Most of the beaches are only accessible by sea, like Lisca Bianca, Basiluzzo and Spinazzola. Panerea is also called the "jet-set" island as it is crowded with young celebrities and its nightlife is particularly lively. SALINA Day Four: Salina Salina is a lush island with thick yellow gorse bushes and terraced vineyards. The island is also known for its delicious Malvasia wine, produced in both red and white varieties.

    16 Destination Sicily There’s a rich history behind Sicily’s complex character.

  • Notes from the Sicilian Archipelago
    Baldacchino: Sicily/Lingering Colonial Outlier - ISLAND REFLECTIONS - LINGERING COLONIAL OUTLIER YET MINIATURE CONTINENT: NOTES FROM THE SICILIAN ARCHIPELAGO GODFREY BALDACCHINO University of Malta/ University of Prince Edward Island <[email protected]> Abstract The fortunes of the wider Mediterranean Sea, the world’s largest, have never rested on Sicily, its largest island. A stubbornly peripheral region, and possibly the world’s most bridgeable island, Sicily has been largely neglected within the field of Island Studies. The physically largest island with the largest population in the region, and housing Europe’s most active volcano, Sicily has moved from being a hinterland for warring factions (Sparta/Athens, Carthage/Rome), to a more centrist stage befitting its location, although still remaining a political outlier in the modern era. Unlike many even smaller islands with smaller populations, however, Sicily has remained an appendage to a larger, and largely dysfunctional, state. The Maltese islands are part of ‘the Sicilian archipelago’, and it was a whim of Charles V of Spain that politically cut off Malta from this node in the 1520s, but not culturally. This article will review some of the multiple representations of this island, and its changing fortunes. Keywords Archipelago, heterotopias, Island Studies, Sicily, Italy, Malta, Mediterranean, periphery Introduction In both its physical and its human setting, the Mediterranean crossroads, the Mediterranean patchwork, leaves a coherent image in the mind as a system in which everything mingles and is then recast to form a new, original unity (Braudel, 1985: 5). On a clear wintry day, one can easily see the snow-capped top of Mount Etna, Europe’s largest active volcano, from various vantage points on the Maltese islands; and the lights along the southern Sicilian coast are also readily visible from the northern hills of Malta during clear nights (see Figure 1).

  • Evidence of Active Subsidence at Basiluzzo Island (Aeolian Islands
    *Manuscript Click here to view linked References Evidence of active subsidence at Basiluzzo island (Aeolian islands, southern Italy)inferred from a Roman age wharf (a)Marco Anzidei,(a)Alessandra Esposito,(b)Alessandra Benini (a)Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia. Via di Vigna Murata 605, Rome, Italy (b)Università della Calabria, Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici, Rende (CS), Italy Abstract The Aeolian Arc (Southern Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy) is one of the most active volcanic areas of the Mediterranean basin, affected by volcanic/hydrothermal and seismic activity. Ancient populations settled this region since historical times, buildingcoastal installations currently used as valuable archaeological indicators of relative sea level changes and vertical land movements. In this study we show and discuss data on the relative sea level change estimated from a submerged wharf of Roman age dated between 50 B.C. and 50 A.D.,located at Basiluzzo Island,. This structurehas been studied through marine surveys and archaeological interpretations and is presently located at a corrected depth of -4.10±0.2 m.We explain this submergence by a cumulative effect of the relative sea level change caused by the regional glacio-hydro-isostatic signal,active since the end of the last glacial maximum,andthe local volcano-tectonic land subsidence.Finally, a total subsidence rate of 2.05±0.1 mm/yr-1, with a volcano-tectonic contribution of 1.43±0.1 mm/yr-1 for the last 2ka BP, is inferred from the comparison against the latest predicted sea level curve for the Southern Tyrrhenian Sea, suggestingnew evaluations of the volcano-tectonic hazard for this area of the Aeolian islands.

  • Aeolian Islands) (Italy) Addendum to 1999 Iucn Evaluation
    WORLD HERITAGE NOMINATION – IUCN TECHNICAL EVALUATION ISOLE EOLIE (AEOLIAN ISLANDS) (ITALY) ADDENDUM TO 1999 IUCN EVALUATION 1. DOCUMENTATION The above nomination was reviewed by the Bureau at its twenty-third extraordinary session (29 November to 4 December, 1999) which reached the following conclusion: “The Bureau noted that the site has the potential to meet natural criterion (i). The Bureau decided to refer the nomination back to allow the State Party to provide additional information and to address the exclusion of human use areas and to propose more sharply defined boundaries for the Nature Reserves and buffer zones. The volcanic landforms of the site represent classic features in the continuing study of volcanology worldwide. With scientific studies on the site from at least the 18th century, the islands have provided two of the types of eruptions (Vulcanian and Strombolian) to vulcanology and geology textbooks and so have featured prominently in the education of all geoscientists for over 200 years. They continue to provide a rich field for volcanological studies of on-going geological processes in the development of landforms. The area also has a long history of land use, and subsequent abandonment, which has lead to an on-going processes of maquis recovery.” Following the Bureau’s extraordinary meeting the World Heritage Committee, at its twenty-third session noted the examination and, after debate, noted that Italy and 1999 IUCN would clarify the management issues and that the site would be presented to the twenty-fourth Bureau session. Additional information has been received from the Italian authorities in response to this request and is the subject of IUCN’s review below.

    Aeolian Islands Tour Aeolian Islands Tour by SOLEANIS A journey through sea, fire, wind...and wine. STROMBOLI PANAREA FILICUDI ALICUDI SALINA LIPARI VULCANO MILAZZO CAPO D’ORLANDO SICILY Rising out of the cobalt-blue seas off Sicily’s northeastern coast, Aeolian Islands (Vulcano, Lipari, Salina, Panarea, Stromboli, Filicudi and Alicudi) are a little piece of paradise, a magical outdoor playground offering thrills and spills at every turn. Stunning waters provide sport for swimmers, sailors and divers, while trekkers can climb hissing volcanoes and gourmets can sip honey-sweet Malvasia wine. Astonishingly beautiful and extremely varied, the seven islands and various uninhabited islets of the Aeolian archipelago were designated a Unesco World Heritage Site in 2000. Their volcanic origins left a dramatic legacy of black-sand be- aches, smouldering craters and splintered, rocky coastlines. Island-hoppers can discover their individual charms: from the spartan conical Alicudi, where donkeys are the only form of land transport, to the international jet-set playground of Panarea. North of Sicily in the Tyrrhenian Sea, the archipelago was named after Aeolus, god of the winds, by Greek settlers. This has been a volatile part of the world ever since Filicudi, the first land mass, emerged from the sea 600,000 years ago. There are two active volcanoes, Stromboli and Vulcano, and volcanic activity of some kind, whether steaming fumaroles or thermal waters waiting to be tapped, on most of the other islands. Winter storms see the islands cut off for days. Like many coastal communities, the islands, with a total population of 10,000, have very different characters depending on the season.
