  Lipari-volcanologica history
Lipari, the largest island of the Aeolian archipelago (37.6 Km2), is the emerged portion of a huge volcanic apparatus about 1,500 meters high: starting from the sea floor, at a depth of about 1,000 metres below sea level, it arrives to the 602 metres above sea level of Monte Chirica.
Fumarolic activity in the western sector of Lipari is responsible for the intense alteration of the volcanic rocks in the area, consisting in a widespread chaolinization (chaolin was already exploited by Greeks).
The fairly complicate, geologic framework of Lipari is the combination of several volcanic episodes related to two stages of magmatic activity separated by a stage characterised by important erosional episodes.
