EOLIAN ISLANDS
EOLIE. The
Aeolian Islands Italian: Isole Eolie are
a volcanic archipelago in the Tyrrhenian
Sea north of Sicily, named after the demigod of the winds Aeolus. Because the largest island is Lipari,
the islands are sometimes referred to as the Lipari Islands. The complex
of the eight Aeolian Islands, covering an area of 1,600 square kilometres.
Curbing urban
development has been a key to preserving the Aeolian islands in a natural
state. New buildings are severely restricted. Traditional houses consist of
modular cubes constructed from indigenous building materials—stone, lava,
pumice and tufo. Almost all houses have a large outdoor terrace, usually shaded
by grape-vines and flowering vines.
UNESCO
World Heritage Sites
The Aeolian
Islands are listed by UNESCO
as World Heritage Sites. However, inaccuracy, the missing closure of
a pumice quarry, and the oncoming building of some
four harbours by the shore of the sole town of Lipari pose a threat to the
islands' place on the list, according to the Italian UNESCO Commission. (Source: Wikipedia)
