Lipari is the largest island of the Aeolian archipelago. It’s located off the north coast of Sicily, in the Tyrrhenian Sea. With an aera of 37 km2, it is part of the Province of Messina.
As all the others Aeolian Islands, Lipari was created by volcanic eruptions; the chain of volcanoes that created the Aeolian Islands goes from the Vesuvius volcano to Mt.Etna.
