the most dangerous island is one that has a silent volcano, not Stromboli. ironically, that it is in almost continuous eruption is what makes it safer than most volcanic islands... I would consider the island of Vulcano, also in the Isole Aeolie, as actually more dangerous than Stromboli....
A real adventure for all brave hearted people who live in Stromboli. It seems surrealism for us. Thank you for sharing of video. Best wishes from Stockholm - Sweden
I don’t think this footage captures the absolute stunning beauty of Stromboli and the Aeoilian islands. I visited Panarea (Stromboli is right there in front of you when you arrive at the port of Panarea & it’s a magnificent view) I think you have to visit to appreciate the sense of majesty and intense serenity of the Aeolian islands. It’s a feeling you can’t describe with words.Sono rimasta senza parole - queste isole sono allucinanti❤
It may be atmospheric, but this film recreates the imagined Stromboli from Rossellini's film more than the reality. In fact, Stromboli is not a barren, desolate island lost in time. It has always been connected to the rest of the world through trade and movements of people, from the Greeks and Romans, to the men like my grandfather who traveled the world as sailors, returning regularly with money and goods, to the millions of tourists who now flock there every summer. The fact that most of the people in the film are not originally from Stromboli is just more evidence of how connected it is to the rest of the world. This piece very selectively omits all of that to reproduce a dream.
Thoroughly enjoyed this film, especially the style in which it was done. I lived on Tresco, Isles of Scilly for a few years. I can understand how people are drawn to an island life. But, living with a volcano in your backyard, must be very different indeed. I wish I grew up in a place like that.
I especially loved the fishermen who looked like they were models for Michelangelo. It was a very evocative piece and a wonderful distraction in these uncertain lockdown times.
I have a fascination with island communities. This was beautiful and I suspect its poetic style will reveal more with repeated viewings. Which it will certainly receive from me! There is a film of similar poetic beauty, and focus on its people, about Tristam de Cunha elsewhere on Fb which I thoroughly recommend. I don't have the link to hand but a simple search will find it. Happy viewing.
It is not the most dangerous if there are people still living nearby. Go check Anak Krakatoa if you want to see the most dangerous volcano island in the world (edit: i forgot do add it had little eruption in the end of 2018 and caused "mini" tsunami which kiled 15 people!)
Excellent video! I live on an active volcano so I get some of what they’re saying although our volcano is not quite as active as theirs our Pele is still very present. I have lava tubes in my yard and I can smell sulfur at times…The feeling is very loving and very exciting and very creative.
That is the image created by this film, but in fact Stromboli has been connected to the rest of the world for millennia - the Greeks were there, the Romans, it was a hub of trade, its men (including my grandfather) traveled the world as sailors. Even most of the people in this film are not originally from Stromboli. And now, from spring until late summer, it is completely overrun by tourists. There's nothing timeless about Stromboli. That is just the film-maker's dream.
As I live nearby on the mainland I look out to it almost every day . I go there at least once a year walk up into town to a lovely bar/restaurant which overlooks the bay ; it most definitely is not dangerous . It bubbles away and smokes quite happily all year and has been doing for about 90 years which is why it won’t explode like other volcanoes
It is so dangerous that only about 500 people live there, and there is a good footpath to the summit climbed by many. Saying that what can really compare to Anak Krakatoa? Wouldn't land on that island for anything.
I used to go there in the 1960's and 70's, my friend in the 1950's. Tourism has destroyed the island and islands. Far too many people, especially with no proper sewerage or fresh water supply. Today full of stupid people thinking of making profit or enjoying themselves, no thought of the ecology etc, with burocracy taking centre stage. Paradise lost!
I love how everyone there has a bunch of cats. If you see the cats all freaking out and running, follow them. According to Wikipedia, in 2019, pyroclastic flows from that volcano hit the ocean, apparently on a different part of the island than that city. It seems like it would be a nice place to visit especially with all the cats, it reminds me of cat island in Japan. But due to the scary volcano I'd be afraid to even be there or spend the night there. And I'm not keen on having the island's 6 children throw coffee on me and run me over with their bikes. It's funny that you put that in the video, if I ever do visit this island, I'll bring my umbrella and my body armor. And a super soaker filled with coffee.
I’d be more worried about child number six who’s likely a girl. Those two hoodlums don’t seem to have any manners so once they become of age, she won’t be safe.
it´s not just the volcanoe itself. it is only a matter of time until a substancial part of the mountainside will colapse into the sea, which will create a megatsunami rushing northwards.
Would go there on day trip on a speedboat. And return at night. Although it has very nice atmosphere under daylight, it gets ominous as soon as the sun goes down. Props to these people for being brave❤️, and this documentary on its own is a piece of visual art through and through.
It’s great sitting on my boat in the evening and night watching the caterpillars of light walking up the side of Stromboli . Must admit for me that’s too much like hard work it’s far too high too far to walk
@@steveosborne2297 agreed. Imagine having to do that regularly, people who chose to live there are true enthusiasts of the island and literally put their lives on the line to enjoy the magic of the island till something harsh happens. I would never live anywhere close to an active volcano. I have enough things to be scared of , and I wouldn’t add a another thing into that mix.
@@heyya7464 I must admit as I originally come from England I would never think of anything like this . But now I live in the south of Italy and every day I look out on Stromboli . Where the main town is the eruptions actually slope down towards the other side of the island so there’s not a great deal of worries because it’s always gently letting off pressure. Like everybody else I’m just used to these little hiccups every now and then it’s not a problem . However one of the other islands Vulcano , that does nothing but there are some slightly worrying signs it might be thinking about it . If it does that could be a very Big Bang !!!
@@steveosborne2297yeah living close to an volcano is quite frightening, I still have jitters or panic attacks from the stories my mother used to tell about the Mt St Helens eruption which destroyed and killed so much of my mother’s family farm and pet horses. So the nights would be sleepless if I ever move close to an volcano. After all volcanoes are the most unpredictable things this fascinating earth posses, so it’s better to be cautious. Absolutely love southern italy. I went on a trip to an island called Pantelleria and I wanted to move there immediately, it’s so magical especially in the evening with golden sun, salty wind and cicadas screeching. But the island is a bit remote, so I would probably settle somewhere in Puglia or Siragusa someday.
@@heyya7464 But Mt Saint Helens is a completely different sort of volcano as are the volcanoes in Hawaii . Stromboli has been bubbling away since 1934 so it never builds up a great deal of pressure . Unlike Saint Helens which built up a load of pressure and then just exploded . By the way if you want to move to southern Italy just come and join me in Calabria where we can look at Stromboli , it’s about 30 mile away , it just sits puffing smoke gently most of the time
I remember a great hike to the top, from where you could actually look into the crater a quarter mile away. Every 20 minutes there is a fire show and our guide told us about the rocks around it and that some were only a few months old. Oops, they could have fallen on our head.
@@Dan-mk3vv . I would've liked to agree with you but while the trajectory of a meteorite is angular this thing is travelling in a straight horizontal line...God knows what it is.
Hahaha indeed it is! We’ve been going to Stromboli and the aeolian islands for 15 and more ys, beautiful, fascinating but Stromboli is quite risky. You’ll never know if the next year your house will be there 😬😄
I think people get used to living in a place with an active volcano. The trouble with active volcanos is though that they could erupt in a year or in 100 years. I understand that this island is their home but considering what we know today about volcanos compared to what people understood about them in the past it is taking a gamble with your life.
Well the other place is an remote island of which population could be relocated withouth that much effort. The other place is a country with a sizeable population. Both are at odds with nature in a way but the other place has a solution where they dont live with a active volcano.
I lived on Etna for a year. We considered that it is safe because pressure is constantly being released by continuous eruptions. In a less active volcano, explosive pressure can accumulate…
Beautiful little movie. I think it’s almost impossible to watch it and not - at least for a moment - dream about living there. Even with those boisterous boys.
there are thousands and thousands of towns in europe that are just as depopulated (or more, because they don't even get tourists) - my/my father's village for one no need for a volcano there
I sympathize with anyone who looses their home! But why would you build, knowingly know your back yard may blow up at any time? And I get criticized for playing the lotto one a week.
It's beautiful to see kids roaming free, no cellphones, no videogames, like us when we were their age ( I grew up in the sixties). I am sorry for boys and girls in today's world.
The kids are riding snake boards.. Lol . 1993-4 when skateboard started they sponsored my buddy Kelly Dean and gave him a van that had the skateboard logo on it and we helped out at contest when we were not talking shi* about how snake boards suck. Lol Kelly could ride one but we thought it was kind of stupid so we stuck with our reg board. Lol we never thought the company would make it. Lol but just like hasslehoff music what sucks here in Cali goes viral in Europe .. Lol but 30 years later I see kids riding them I have to say sorry Kelly we were wrong . haha
What a great filmmaking piece.. ! Great work by the director, DOP, and editor..
This is how a pure documentary is made.. love dit..

No, Stromboli is not the most dangerous island. It is far from that. This vulcano has mild to moderate eruptions.
@James Park so what? It doesn't make this island the most dangerous. Based on your criteries Krakatoa is far more dangerous.
