Mount Etna, in a cold night in December 2021, I was photographing the South East Crater during activity with small explosions called Strombolian. I was fascinated by the scene: the wind pushing and floating clouds on the east side of the snowy volcano, as in a dance illuminated by the light of moon.

Dario Lo Scavo lives in Sicily in Linguaglossa, on the north side of Etna.Since he was a boy he cultivated a great passion for nature. Later working on the Mount Etna,he became increasingly passionate about the knowledge of the natural world, taking the opportunity to photograph important eruptive activities of Etna of the last 20 years. Dario exhibits and sells his images since 2001 in the gallery in Piano Provenzana, a tourist resort at 1800 meters above sea level, in Linguaglossa on the north side of Etna. Here you can still observe the devastating effects of the massive lava flow of 2002 which destroyed all the infrastructures an change the natural enviroment. The desire to discover new places, new cultures, narrating remote landscapes, in the company of his camera, which inspired him to undertake several many trips around the word.
