Asked by Wiki User

It derives from the Siculi people, a Hindo-European race who first settled on the Eastern part of the island around 1000 BC, replacing the earlier Sicani tribes from Northern Libya who were the island's first inhabitants, but were exterminated by the Carthiganians soon before the Siculi arrived. The name 'Siculi' had mutated into 'Sicily' by the time the Romans settled the island.

What is the name distance and population of the major city nearest to Mount Etna?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

On the island of Sicily, the city of Catania is adjacent to Mount Etna, only about 12 miles (19 km) from the summit. The population is estimated at 313,000 in the city proper, and about 1.1 million residents in the metropolitan area, which could be impacted by a large eruption as occurred in 1669. In that event, the city wall of Catania diverted much of the lava flow into the sea, and casualties were minimal in the city. Earthquakes in the region have been much more damaging than eruptions.
