Alicudi is the smallest island of the Aeolian Islands and the most peripheral, located on the western side of the archipelago. Its location and the policies of the national government (Alicudi was the site of a maximum security garrison) coincided, leaving it virtually untouched, where nature lives in harmony with the very few people on the island.
Since 1997, was set up the Regional Oriented Natural Reserve of Alicudi, which includes the whole island.
