Abstract
ETNA has always presented the most varied geodynamic and eruptive phenomena, separated by periods of repose so varied that it is futile to make any attempt to define them with precision. During the nineteenth century there were ten great classical eruptions accompanied by imposing emissions of lava. From 1892 to 1910, Etna did not present any outburst of importance; for the eruption of 1908 in the upper part of the Val del Bove stopped after a few days. Since then, we have had the eruptions of 1911, 1918 (of a few hours' duration), 1923, and the present year.
