Mount Etna's eruption in 1669 was first reported to cause the death of near 17,000 people and letting 27,000 homeless. However, later studies revealed that there have only been 77 confirmed human deaths directly related to Mt. Etna over the years.

The former reports can be assumed to be a confusion, made by the news media, with the earthquake that took place in southeast Sicily, in 1693.
