Abstract
Italian volcanoes directly attract at least one million visitors per year due to their special concourse of natural and archaeological resources. On the top of the list is the Vesuvius with 0.5 million but other notable examples are the Pozzuoli Solfatara and Campi Flegrei (0.3 million), Etna and Stromboli active volcanoes (Fig. 8.1).
