Haven't been there, but I would say it depends if anyone in charge would catch u at it, I bet it's definitely forbidden. A good thing would be to go through the can's and cant's written on the notices and boards at the very place. At least you risk a juicy fine, I'd say
I know this Q is 3 yo, but for the benefit of others: non-commercial use does not need a permit. You do need though a "drone driving licence" - In Italy is issued according to regulations by the Italian Civil Aviation Authority. With regard to actually reaching any of the craters on Etna, there are different level of restrictions in place, depending on the area of the volcano and geo activities. People do go on the top crater regardless of restrictions and not accompanied by guides. In the last few years, the Etna Park authority has tightened the survellaince of people exploring the top since the explosive activity has increased and has occasionally caused injuries and even fatalities. That's the law and the regulations. However, this does not mean there are policemen around the crater checking what people do! so, as long as you don't fly the drone on top of a crowd, and the drone is a small, non-commercial one (the law says less than 25KG) you shouldn't have any problem.
Wonderful no signs ; do not trespass, dangerous cliff, only USGS personal, if you cross after this point you'll be prosecute , I can feel the freedom in this video, thank you for making me dream in a free sign world.
could you tell me do I need some permission to fly with my Phantom over Etna volcano?
grzegorz szwed I think no

I think one does need permission to fly drones anywhere today; back when we did this video, we worked with local scientists who had blanket permission

thanks for the comment; knowing what I know now about hazards in Etna's craters, I'd not have ventured there.....
@@castroj69 Agree, best luck in your life
Great footage but the commentary couldn't have been more dull.
Etna not basalt but is andesite
interesting!
