Capo Vaticano is a cape located on a rocky outcrop in Calabria in the municipality of Ricadi. From the cape there is a wide view of the Strait of Messina (Stretto di Messina) and all of the Aeolian Islands (Stromboli, Vulcano, Lipari, Salina, Filicudi, Alicudi and Panarea). When visibility is good, you can see the high power pillars that once supplied Sicily with electricity from Calabria above ground. The place has nothing to do with the Vatican. The name refers to an oracle that was visited by sailors during the time of Greek settlement.

The highlight is misplaced, but the view from above is actually spectacular.
