Abstract
Stromboli (38°47'N, 15°13'E, 926 m high) is a permanently active stratovolcano located on a small island of the same name in the Lipari Archipelago, which belongs to the Aeolian volcanic arc. The name Stromboli is a corruption of the ancient Greek name strombos (=cone) given to it because of its round swelling form. The topographic configuration of the Lipari Islands can be introduced by a more than 160-year-old map (Fig. 46) reproduced from “Vulkan Atlas” (Leonhard 1844), the publication of which summarized fundamental elements of islands' geology.
