Mt. Etna of eastern Sicily is an active volcano. In fact, it is the largest active volcano in all of Europe.
Yes - Mount Etna is classed as active. It's last eruption was in 2014 - when a 'flank eruption' started. A flank eruption means that lava flowed out from the side of eh cone - instead of the main vent at the summit.
