Viagrande, a great taste of Mount Etna

Viagrande is a small town on the slopes of Mount Etna, surrounded by beautiful and fertile countryside, rich in lush vineyards and fruit trees of every kind. It sits on the south-eastern slopes of Etna, on the lava flows of 1408, and from a distance, you can see its symbolic Monte Serra, where a park of about 30 hectares is located, hosting the "House of Butterflies of Monte Serra," the only one in Southern Italy that houses numerous specimens of tropical butterflies, including the large cobra moth. A visit to the facility includes an interesting lesson on the world of insects and the biology of butterflies. Free to fly in an environment that replicates their natural habitat, these beautiful lepidoptera can be observed undisturbed at close range. The aviary also houses other interesting invertebrates from tropical forests, such as stick insects, leaf insects, and giant beetles.
