Aeolian
Islands seem
to be pebbles thrown into the sea from the tip of the boot. Long ago
they were all active volcanoes and Stromboli is
still active today. Salina, the greenest of the Aeolian Islands,
takes its name from a little salt lake. During Roman times and Middle
Ages salt was extracted from it, this salt was also used for the
preservation of capers, which today are still exported around the world.
Moreover, Salina Island is famous for the Malvasia wine, which is a
delicious amber-colored dessert wine.
The
statue of the grandfather of the owners’ house dominates the principal
square of the town. He
was the first medical officer of Salina and a big benefactor, who
visited his patients in far districts travelling on mule-back or sailing.
