Stromboli (/ˈstrɒmbəli/STROM-bə-lee, Italian:[ˈstromboli]; Sicilian: Struògnuli[ˈʂː(ɽ)wɔɲɲʊlɪ]) is an island in the Tyrrhenian Sea, off the north coast of Sicily, containing Mount Stromboli, one of the four active volcanoes in Italy. It is one of the seven Aeolian Islands, a volcanic arc north of Sicily, and the mythological home of Aeolus.[3]
The island, with an area of 12.6 square kilometres (4.9 sq mi),[4] represents the upper third of the volcano.[5] Its population was about 500 as of 2016[update].[2] 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".[6]
