Mount Etna is a stratovolcano that sits on a tectonic fault line. The fault line runs from the Lipari Isles over the east coast of Sicily to the Hyblean Mountains.
The Lava that erupts from Mount etna is called Balsaltic.
Mount Vesuvius is a volcano, not a fault.

In its most recent activity Mount Etna has erupted basaltic lava. These eruptions have been mildly explosive and produced glowing red lava flows due to the lava's relatively low viscosity.
Mount Etna first began erupting 500,000 years ago. The first recordings of eruptions from Mount Etna were dated as early as 1500 BC.
Nobody knows when Mount Etna was formed. Scientists are still trying to figure it out. Scientists estimate that Mount Etna has had eruptions for 2.5 million years. They also estimeate that the lava in Mount Etna is 300,000 years old. There is recorded history that Mount Etna has been erupting since 1500 BC.
