Most of the beautiful Mediterranean islands have volcanic origin. Among them, there are the Aeolian Islands, the islands of wind and fire north of Sicily. The film shows the striking contrast between the harsh volcanic rocks and the abundance of wildlife: Cory’s shearwaters, storm petrels and Eleonora’s falcon breed on the cliffs, while giant sperm whales and schools of pilot whales swim in the deep and still unexplored sea which surrounds the islands.
The film deals also with the interesting terrestrial community of lizards, insects, spiders that has colonised the most remote islands and has adapted to very local environmental conditions.

A million years ago, Italy was a battlefield where enormous, violent volcanoes offered competing displays of bursts of fire, lava flows, clouds of hot ash, and showers of lapilli. They raised mountains and erased valleys. It was a mineral world: there was no room for plants or animals.  Then, a hundred thousand years ago, one by one the volcanoes stopped erupting and rain gradually filled the ancient craters, turning them into lakes. It was the beginning of a new adventure for life, which this time conquered the land of volcanoes.

Francesco Petretti, biologist, graduated with a thesis on the behaviour of eagles.
He was in charge of the Biodiversity Department of the World Wildlife Fund in Italy, served as scientific consultant of the Italian League for the Protection of Birds and he is a member of  the Bustard Group of Birdlife.
He teaches Conservation Biology at the University of Perugia. He works as a film director for Italian Broadcast RAI and for the company Diomedea studium, which has been producing wildlife films since 2005.
Francesco’s films have been awarded at the Menigoute Ornithological Film Festival and at Wildscreen 2005 (The Life of the Snake Eagle).
