A review of the tectonic, volcanological and hazard history of Vulcano (Aeolian Islands, Italy)

Abstract Vulcano is one of the seven volcanic islands composing Aeolian Islands archipelago (Southern Italy), which also includes three other active volcanoes. The island was originally a stratovolcano like Stromboli; afterwards, its shape turned towards complex structure composed several landforms different sizes. This due to great variability tectonic and phenomena, presently showing volcano made by two calderas, lava dome small cones. largest them tuff cone La Fossa, hosted in middle 3‐km‐wide caldera (La Fossa caldera), whose borders are visible on southern western sides island. Its last eruption occurred 1888–1890. At present, characterized weak shallow seismicity intense fumarolic activity mainly concentrated within crater along rims during recent unrest phase started 2021, measured with multiparametric monitoring network.
