Vulcano is a small Italian volcanic island in the Tyrrhenian Sea near Sicily that is home to one of Italy's few active volcanoes and is the namesake of the word "volcano" in English and several other European languages. The island's name comes from ancient Roman mythology, as it was believed to be the forge or chimney of Vulcan, the Roman god of fire.
