Sicily

Sicily, an Italian island, is currently facing multiple challenges. The town of Niscemi is experiencing a severe landslide crisis, triggered by recent storms, leaving homes perched precariously on a cliff edge. A 4km section of hillside has collapsed, leading to the evacuation of over 1,500 residents. The widening chasm poses a significant threat to the town's historic center, with the mayor describing the situation as "dire." Simultaneously, Mount Etna, an active volcano in Sicily, has erupted, spewing ash and smoke. Despite the eruption, skiers were observed on the slopes below. Scientists have issued a red Volcano Observatory Notice for Aviation, indicating heightened volcanic activity. The events highlight the vulnerability of Sicilian towns to natural disasters and the ongoing geological activity in the region. The articles also mention a tourist from Sicily visiting Rome, where a fee has been introduced to visit the Trevi Fountain.
