My first trip abroad! What can be found in Italy?

Starting Monday, I'm going to have a weeklong trip across multiple parts of Italy. The main attractions being Naples and Sicily, visiting the volcanoes of the country (people may not know that volcanology is my second biggest interest).

 

If there are days of downtime, I'm wondering if there are any spots I should check out while I'm there. Thanks in advance! :D

Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such.

Thanks for the info! At least I'll still have fireworks shows to watch from their volcanoes. :D

Just don't become a fossil like the people of Pompeii.

 

Have fun over there.

I didn't. By the way, here's a little sneak peak into what I saw on the trip:

Is that Etna?

 

 

Mark.

 

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

Yes it is, as we were driving to Syracuse from Polermo. It was putting on quite the show at the time.

If you plan on climbing Etna, you’ll find some nice rocks along the way guaranteed. If you plan on hiking to the top, make sure you rest and pack plenty of water lol.
