Hello,
Stromboli (Sicily)
Stromboli is a small island in the Tyrrhenian Sea, off the north coast of Sicily, containing one of the three active volcanoes in Italy. It is one of the eight Aeolian Islands, a volcanic arc north of Sicily. This name is derived from the Ancient Greek name "Strongulē" which was given to it because of its round swelling form.
The volcano has erupted many times and is constantly active with minor eruptions, often visible from many points on the island and from the surrounding sea, giving rise to the island's nickname "Lighthouse of the Mediterranean". Stromboli stands 926 m (3,034 ft) above sea level, and over 2,700 m (8,860 ft) on average above the sea floor. The two villages San Bartolo and San Vincenzo lie in the northeast while the smaller village Ginostra lies in the southwest.

Good morning
I am looking for someone to help me with tracing my Sicilian ancestors (Messina, circa 1815!) and I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with professional genealogists in the area and could possibly recommend anyone please?
Many thanks

We have bought a house in Sicily and i have been told we need to replace our roof tiles because of a law coming in. i have searched the internet and cant find a law, so wondered if anyone could help me. Could it be that we have asbestos roof tiles?
