We know Pier Giorgio was a mountaineer, who humorously lent his college nickname to an unwitting Valanga. Last month, The USA had fireworks all over the place but so did Sicily as Mt. Etna, Europe's most active volcano and the site of many ancient vinyards, erupted on July 4. The word Etna is from a Greek word meaning "I burn." This weekend, believe it or not, as Assisi celebrates the Pardon and the North End celebrates St. Agrippina, Etna is erupting again. As we do not wish to carelessly link to sites, we merely suggest that there are many places on the internet where one may view these eruptions. Anyone who wishes to support the valanga may certainly do so.
