| THE
HISTORY :
It was called Dydime by Greeks, that means the double;
infact it's composed by two volcanic cones (mount Fossa
delle Felci, 962mts, mount of the Porri, 860 mts.) divided
dy a saddle. Then, they call the isle Salina becouse
of the presence of the now closed saltworks of Lingua.
It's the second one for extention, 26.8 kmq, and inhabitants,
2581; moreover it's the richest in vegetation; the place
is still incontaminate so that a lot of migratory birds
choose the isle like a transit station. |
