Rifugio Sapienza

The Giovannino Sapienza refuge is a former alpine refuge located at 1,910 meters above sea level on the southern slope of Etna, in the territory of the municipality of Nicolosi (CT). It is in fact the base of the ski resort of South Etna, situated at the end of the road that climbs the south-eastern slope of Etna from Catania with lifts that branch off to his side with Etna cableway. Designed during the fascist period and built after the Second World War by the Italian Alpine Club (CAI) Section of Catania, today it is used as a small hotel. He has repeatedly risked being overwhelmed by the eruptions of Etna whose lava flows have often lapped him without ever destroying him, as happened instead for the ski lifts, which were then always rebuilt.
