ENTRY DESCRIPTION
In June 2014 Mount Etna began a parossistic eruption in its Southeast crater. Weather condition were poor, with little visibility, the sky was cloud and it rained off and on. While i was going on the eastern slope of the volcano, i found a spot from which i could see the lava flows head-on but the rim of the crater remained covered b the clouds. i photographed and waited for the winds to blow the clouds away; shortly after a lenticular cloud was formed and illuminated from behind it offered a stunning vision. Dario in the past 25 years, concentrate his photographic work on Mount Etna.

AUTHOR
Dario began to be passionate about the camera since he was a boy, but with Etna, he created a fantastic bond, stimulating even more his passion for nature, and for photography, with which he expresses his creativity, telling and trying to convey their emotions. Since 1997 with his photos he has documented the most important eruptive activities of Etna, including the paroxysm of 1999 and the lateral eruption of 2002 that destroyed the tourist resort of Piano Provenzana including the cabin used as a shop gallery that had opened in July 2001. Since then he has continued to document moments of historical and scientific interest with photos and videos, but also poetic and unpublished aspects.
