I never pre-book my train tickets. It's true that it is cheaper, but buying them on the day allows more freedom with your arrangements. I generally use the Trenitalia web site to check the schedule and buy my ticket at a ticket machine half hour or so before departure. I prefer the Frecce trains, but Regional and InterCity trains, although slower, are fine too.There is also the Leonardo Express from Rome airport (FCO) to Roma Termini. The cost is Euro 14 each for way--approx. 30 minute journey.Whichever you choose, always remember to validate your ticket (as someone else mentioned). I have forgotten on a couple of occasions and was 'caught' once. I had to pay a small fine of Euro 5 I think. Some tickets don't need to be validated, but I do it anyway--just in case!
Here is a list of Sicilian towns & provinces starting with the letter A. You're going to have to narrow it down to those near Etna, but it's a starting point. . .https://www.gentracer.com/townsa.htmlBuona Fortuna!
