The crucible of the Aeolian Sea
Vulcano is an island of extremes, meets, and dialogues.
To understand an environment this intense requires more than one lens, with the rigor to measure it and the spirit to feel it.

Empirical lens
Science extracts data from ancient rocks and steaming local waters, uncovering the raw mechanisms of the Earth. This is the search for objective truth, assessing the geological settings, contamination history, and the extremes of the natural world.
Emotional lens
Art captures human responses to the same space, using canvas cutouts and raw pigments.
Juri Corti translates the island through joyful saturated colors, observing it with spontaneity, fracturing vistas into bold shapes that capture its essential spirit.
