Vulcano or Vulcan is a small volcanic island belonging to Italy in the Tyrrhenian Sea, about 20 km (12 mi) north of Sicily and located at the southernmost end of the seven Aeolian Islands. The island is known for its volcanic activity and contains several volcanic calderas, including one of the four active volcanoes in Italy that are not submarine. The English word "volcano" and its equivalents in several European languages derive from the name of this island. The name derives from the Roman belief that the tiny island was the chimney of Vulcan, the Roman god of fire. In November 2021, 150 people were evacuated from the island's harbour area due to increased volcanic activity and gases; an amber alert had been issued in October 2021 after several significant changes in the volcano's parameters. In the fall of 2025, volcanic unrest increased again with strong gas emissions reported on October 15, 2025.

Vulcano is a small island situated in the Aeolian archipelago, which is composed of seven islands off the coast of Sicily. The island is famous for its active volcano, Gran Cratere, which dominates the landscape and attracts visitors from all over the world.

Apart from the volcano, Vulcano is also known for its black sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and therapeutic mud baths. The beaches are perfect for sunbathing and swimming, while the mud baths are said to have healing properties and are a popular attraction for tourists.
