It is the largest volcano in Europe, standing about 3,320 m (10,900 ft) high with a basal circumference of 140 km, making it the highest mountain in Italy south of the Alps.
It is by far the largest of the three active volcanos in Italy, being nearly three times the height of the next largest, Mount Vesuvius.
A volcano is a geological landform (usually a mountain) where magma (rock of the Earths interior made molten or liquid by high temperature along with a reduction in pressure and/or the introduction of water or other volatiles) erupts through the surface of the planet.

 Volcanoes of the World; Volcano Basic Data
An individual volcano may be composed of a variety of landforms, such as when a stratovolcano is truncated by a caldera that is itself filled by lava domes and pyroclastic cones--but we show only the most prominent feature here.
Usage of "Volcano" One of the most difficult problems of standardization has been the varying usage of the word "volcano." Definitions of "volcano" range from individual vents, measured in meters, through volcanic edifices measured in kilometers or tens of kilometers, to volcanic fields measured in hundreds of kilometers.
Volcanoes listed here are rarely closer than 10 km to their nearest neighbor, and are commonly separated by at least 20 km.

 Global Volcanism Program | Cerro Azul | Summary
Steep-sided 3788-m-high Cerro Azul has a 500-m-wide summit crater that is open to the north.
Quizapu, a major vent on the northern flank of Cerro Azul, formed in 1846 during the first historical eruption at Cerro Azul, accompanied by the emission of voluminous dacitic lava flows that traveled both east into the Estero Barroso valley and west into the Río Blanquillo valley.
Quizapu was later the source of one of the world's largest explosive eruptions of the 20th century in 1932, which created a 600-700 m wide, 150-m-deep crater and ejected 9.5 cu km of dacitic tephra.

The majority of the plume spread west-southwestward at nearly 35 to 45 m/s and plume-top temperatures were as low as -88°C; the winds correlated with rawinsonde data to heights of 25 to 30 km, and the temperatures were colder than any environmental observations in either the troposphere or stratosphere.
The slightly darker portion of the image extending westward from the volcano tracked westward at approximately 50 to 60 m/s and plume-top temperatures were near -60°C; the winds correlated with rawinsonde data to heights of 35 to 40 km.

Cerro Volcanico is a stratovolcanoA stratovolcano (also composite cone or composite volcano) is a tall, conical mountain (volcano) composed of both hardened lava and volcanic ash.
The shape of these volcanoes is characteristically steep in profile because lava flows that formed them were highly viscous, and so cooled and hardened before spreading very far.
Cerro Volcanico is a Holocene stratovolcano located in Argentina, SSE of the glacier-clad Pleistocene Volcán Tronador along the Chile-Argentina border.
