Yet generation after generation has returned, drawn by the extraordinary fertility created by the volcano itself. In this captivating event, award-winning travel and food writer Helena Attlee discusses her remarkable new book, The Fire in the Mountain, weaving together history, mythology, geology, gastronomy and horticulture to tell the story of one of Europe’s most fascinating landscapes. Travelling through pistachio groves, citrus orchards, vineyards and ancient lava fields, Helena reveals how food, farming and culture have flourished in the shadow of Sicily’s most powerful natural force.
