Salina is located in the Aeolian Islands in Italy. The island of Salina is included on the World Heritage List because of its worth for vulcanology. The island is composed of six volcanoes. The oldest ones can be located at Pizzo di Corvo, Monte Rivi and close to Capo Faro, although these are barely recognisable from a morphological point of view, while the volcano-layer of Monte Fossa delle Felci and Monte dei Porri are almost perfectly preserved. There are three principal towns on Salina: Santa Marina on the eastern coast, Malfa to the north, and Leni to the south-west. From a distance, Salina looks entirely green with two rounded high mountains and a smooth coastline. More than 400 different types of plants grow here. The cultivation of grapes, olives and capers are basically a rite.
