Statue of Franco Battiato and Lucio Dalla

Highlight • Monument

The statue by the sculptor Placido Calì from Aci is located in the Belvedere square of Milo. The two singer-songwriters were fascinated by the Etna landscape and they both bought a house in Milo. The work was inaugurated on August 12, 2022

View of Mount Etna and the Ionian Coast from the Riposto Waterfront

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Riposto seafront, a splendid panorama opens up that embraces both the sea and Etna, with its often snow-capped slopes as a backdrop. From here, the view extends along the Ionian coast, offering suggestive glimpses of the tourist port and the nearby towns of the Riviera dei Ciclopi. At sunset, the contrast between the sky and the volcano creates plays of light that make the atmosphere particularly fascinating, while the waves of the sea complete the picture with their relaxing rhythm.
