It depends. Is it totally derelict? Do you want to sell? Do you care if the building is there or not? If its a pile of stones you can declare it a ruin and that is that. What you cannot do is nothing, since 2011 you cannot have a fabricato rurale so it must be reclassed as an ente urbano in some form. or you cancel it as a building
Absolute tosh. Of course you can sell a property with a mortgage on it. However the mortgage must be paid off before the act of sale is transcribed. Usually the owners pay off the mortgage with the caparra paid by the buyers at compromesso. Failing that, at the signing of hte atto there is a cheque made payable to the bank, and the notary, buyer and seller all troop off to the bank and liquidate the mortgage in that instant.
A city beginning with any letter will be on a map. A town also. A hamlet maybe not. You asked for a city. The only town of any size near Etna is Acireale. Aidone is further away. Or there is Adrano, Acitrezza, Acicastello, Aidone - all small towns.
It is more difficult moving to Italy as a non European, but not impossible. You will need a Schengen visa from your home country and when you arrive in Italy must apply for a Permesso di Soggiorno for elective residency -all of which takes time. What you must be aware of is that Italy will become your tax residence so you will pay taxes on your worlwide income and property in ITaly which comes as a shock to many. You will have to prove that you have enough money to live on without being a burden on the Italian state adn have private health insurance .
There is theoretically no problem with paying for a property in sterling, as long as the notaio stipulates the act in Italy adn everything is written clearly in the atto. The problem comes as the money should be in the sellers' bank account at the moment of the signing, so either you need a very reliable bank manager who will do an instant transfer or you have to trust your sellers. Alternatively the notaio can write into the atto that it takes effect only when the money has been receievd by the seller and within a certain amount of time. Only then can the notaio transcribe the atto.

What is the problem? Look at Sicily on Google Maps and find Etna- Then look at the towns around it, and see which ones begin with A.
The if you have been resident for more than half the time that you have owned the property you will not have capital gains tax topay
what makes you think that italy had town criers?
It depends if you are resident or not. If non resident then you have capital gain payable for 5 years.
I would look at a map
