Pantelleria, the Black Pearl of the Mediterranean

Overview

Isolated at sea between Europe and Africa, Pantelleria is the most secret active volcano in Italy. Its gentle windswept relief is a world away from the great Italian volcanoes, such as Stromboli or Vesuvius. However, for those who take the time to discover it, the island conceals countless volcanic treasures... from the Bronze Age to today, the peoples who have succeeded one another here have jealously guarded the secrets of the Black Pearl of the Mediterranean.
