For information regarding the current state of Mount Etna, visit the web site of the Catania section of the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, which has weekly summaries of the activity of Etna and Stromboli, of the seismicity in Sicily, and provides special reports in case of significant events. Most of these are in Italian, but summaries are submitted periodically to the to the Volcano Listserver, which are subsequently synthesized in the weekly eruption updates of the Smithsonian Institution's Global Volcanism Program.
