The "castello" in Lipari is actually called the "cittadella".

There is a lot of important information missing from the entry. Stromboli, besides the Etna and Iceland, is the only active vulcano in Europe. You have Vulcano which is semi-active and where the Greek god Vulcan was believed to live. Saline where Eolo the Greek god of wind was believed to live. When in high school I published a lengthy article on the ancient history of the islands. Not sure the creators of this website would be interested in it.

FYI, this article used to have a large chunk of text relating the history of a volcanic island that emerged from the sea called Julia. I removed the text from this article because it clearly wasn't in the Aeolian Islands. The actual article that the text refers to can be found at Ferdinandea. --NormanEinstein 22:26, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
