"I had heard about the stupendous iridescence of the aurora upon the Ionian Sea, when you contemplate it from Etna's summit...The earthly and marine vastness revealed to our sight stretched as far as Africa, clearly visible, and Greece, as far as you could have guessed. It was one of the supreme moments of my life. Nothing was missing, not the golden fringe of a cloud, nor the eagles..."

Adapted from "Adriano's Memories", Marguerite Yourcenar.

Zappinazzu pine tree - Description

The "Zappinazzu" is the biggest pine tree currently placed on Etna. In order to get there it, go to Linguaglossa (a small town placed on Etna hills) and follow the Mareneve road leading to Piano Provenzano ski runs. A few km before Piano Provenzano, you'll notice on the left a sing indicating the big tree. Following the trail for a few meters we'll quickly reach the tree base, with another sign describing it : the estimated age is 300 years old and the height is more than 30 meters. The positiond of the tree inside the wood make it difficult to take just one picture of it. Observing carefully the tree, you can notice on the base some resin drops with wonderful colors.
