To the responsible authorities, and to all interested parties,

We, the undersigned, passionately advocate for the reopening of access to the higher slopes of the renowned Stromboli volcano. This remarkable natural wonder, with its unique characteristics, has captivated the hearts of volcano enthusiasts worldwide.

Since 2019, access to the summit area has been restricted due to high-energy volcanic explosions. However, we believe it is time to reconsider this decision while ensuring the safety and well-being of visitors. We propose the establishment of a technical committee to thoroughly assess the situation and explore the possibility of reopening access to the summit area, under strict safety measures.

We acknowledge the associated risks and stress the need for responsible and informed visits. Safety should always be paramount, and visitors should be fully aware of the potential dangers, while also respecting the volcano's natural environment.

By reopening access to the higher slopes, passionate individuals who possess a deep understanding of the risks can have the opportunity to experience this awe-inspiring phenomenon firsthand. We acknowledge the sporadic and unpredictably rare nature of high-energy volcanic explosions and emphasize the importance of comprehending these risks, as well as implementing necessary mitigation measures.

Join us in urging the competent authorities to establish a technical committee, engage in a comprehensive dialogue, and work towards reopening access to the higher slopes of the Stromboli volcano. Together, we can ensure an unforgettable experience for volcano enthusiasts while preserving the unique natural heritage of this extraordinary location.
