We took a tour with Nadia, taxi drive. She is very prepared and told us all about the island and the pomice quarry - closed since Lipari was listed by UNESCO as landmark. Grey mountain, blue sky and 270 degree of aquamarine water is an unforgettable moment.

The EcoMuseum of Memories recalls, illustrates and highlights two themes that are united by the important role that they both have played in the lives of the Aeolian people since ancient times: the story of the spa of San Calogero which dates back to the second millennium BC and the history of the pumice quarries where its roots are found in the Neolithic period (fifth millennium BC). Through the exhibition of old photographs, historical accounts and reconstructions using tools from that era, the visitor discovers Aeolian culture and identity by being immersed in an album of black and white. A blast from the past that is colored with the visions of a documentary by Lionetto Fabbri (1957), an evocative testament to the hard work of the pumice quarrymen. The tour ends with the story of the history of the spa: exploited since the Mycenaean era, until it reached its peak in Roman times, only to be rediscovered in the Middle Ages by Saint Calogero and now to us in the present with its baths sprayed with therapeutic water that is at a temperature of 50-60 °.
