In Sicily it almost never rains, today is an exception. We procrastinate a lot before leaving, we chat for a long time with a former fisherman who is repairing his son's fishing net. I am fascinated by the agile and decisive movements with which he overlaps or separates the white threads.
Then we surrender

Porto Empedocle, the birthplace of the writer Andrea Camilleri, welcomes us with a golden light. A little oil on the chain, water in the water bottles, and we can start pedaling with the exciting prospect of three days in the saddle exploring the Sicilian hinterland.
A few kilometers and we already come

I couldn't end this journey among the Sicilian volcanoes, if not at the top of the mountain that is the symbol of this land: Etna!
Together with Massimo and a small group, I took the cable car next to the Sapienza refuge and reached an altitude of 2,500 meters. It is important to know that from here

Although Panarea seems like just an island, it is actually a volcano, as important as Vulcano and Stromboli.
After disembarking from the hydrofoil, we immediately set off. Massimo explains the history of this island and its volcanological characteristics. We walk through the narrow streets of the village

New lap, new race! I find myself on a hydrofoil again, this time heading towards Stromboli.
As soon as I disembark, while I observe the life of the islanders, the white houses and the boats on the coast, I prepare for the excursion. I fill my water bottle with water, check that I have taken the front

I get on the hydrofoil, put my backpack on the seat next to me and watch the world outside the porthole change appearance as I move away from the coast. In the middle of the sea, imposing mountains emerge: Vulcano is one of them.
As soon as I get off, the smell of sulfur welcomes me, a tangible sign that

Given the latest spectacular lava flow from Etna, it was immediate to start my journey to discover the Sicilian volcanoes from here. I had never been to Sicily before, but, living in the Alps, I have always had an attraction for this mountain.
Once I reached Piano Vetore, I was catapulted into an almost

The owner of the bar where we have breakfast tells us about the moments of the earthquake, the first tremors, the evacuation, the sudden tremors that finally razed Poggioreale Vecchia to the ground. She adds that fortunately there were only two victims.
After leaving Poggioreale nuova we decide to go
