Soils: The substratum is characterised by a lava slab of considerable areal extension, with outcrops of “Lavas and pyroclastics that are difficult to delimit with a degraded surface morphology” (Mongibello Antico-Mongibello Recente) (GEOLOGICAL MAP OF MOUNT ETNA, CNR 1979), where the pedogenic processes, favoured by the sub-flat morphology, have generated a
medium-deep soil rich in small and medium-sized volcanic stones that cover a large part of the terrain.
