The crater was formed during the eruption of 1669.

On November 12, 2003, a suicide attack on the barracks of Italian Carabinieri troops in Iraq left 28 dead and more than 100 injured. It was the most costly military incident for Italy since World War II. The victims are remembered here.

And yes, Etna is also this, being able to take a bike ride at 1400m above sea level, around an extinct crater dating back to 150 BC. that is, in the middle of the Roman era…❤️ Around the year 150 BC, therefore in Roman times, the craters of Salto del cane were formed. The lava flow that emerged reached what is now Acireale. Today in the area you can admire a landscape of extreme charm and naturalistic and geological interest. At the foot of the mountain you pass through chestnut woods while the upper slope is covered with thick gorse. Once you reach the edge of the crater you find a deep funnel-shaped chasm in which lava bombs and blocks of tuff are piled up. On the steep walls we find the holm oak, the aspen which, as its name suggests, has leaves that quiver with every breath of wind, the southern rowan, very similar to the mountain ash, both very rare on Etna, the downy oak and some robust specimens of Beech, which here form an isolated station of this plant. Furthermore, many shrubs are found: from the aforementioned broom to the dog rose. Before descending into the crater in the distance we can admire the Monti Silvestri, the Serra Pizzuta Calvarina, La Montagnola, the cone of Monte Escrivá and the Serre that delimit the Bove valley.

Refuge equipped with an equipped area. There is no fountain for drawing water. The cistern 100 meters to the W is closed with a bolt. Following the path to the north you can admire a splendid panorama.
