How to read these pictures
- Volcano cameras are the observatories' monitoring cameras. Cloud, steam, night or distance often hide the crater. A quiet picture is not a statement about volcanic activity: the observatory's alert level and notices govern (see the volcano webcams page).
When this page was built, 7 of the 7 cameras in Italy had a file time we could read, and the newest file was about 12 minutes old. Pictures refresh when each publisher's camera uploads, so a picture can be a few minutes old, and a camera can go down at any time. A webcam picture is not an official warning, forecast or road report: the official source for that place governs.

Quick answers
- Are these Italy webcams live video?
- No, they are still pictures, each one the latest frame the publisher's camera has uploaded. Voyaggora does not copy or store them: your browser loads every picture straight from the publisher, so what you see is what the publisher is serving at that moment.
- How often do the pictures refresh?
- Whenever the publisher's camera uploads a new frame; each publisher sets its own interval and our data does not state a fixed one for most of them. When this page was built, 7 of the 7 cameras had a file time we could read, and the newest file was about 12 minutes old. For the cameras whose file name carries the time of the picture (INGV Osservatorio Etneo) that time is printed under the picture. Reload the page to ask for the newest file.
- Why is a picture dark, grey or blurry?
- Most cameras simply record what is in front of them: it is dark at night, fog, cloud, rain or snow can hide the view, and a lens can mist or ice over. A dark picture does not by itself mean the camera is broken.
- Who runs these cameras?
- Public bodies and park or volcano observatories: INGV Osservatorio Etneo. Each picture names its publisher and links to the publisher's own page; full credits are at the bottom of this page.
- Can I use or share these camera pictures?
- The pictures belong to the publishers and are shown here unaltered with their credit. Licences differ by publisher (the credit lines at the bottom of the page quote them), so check the publisher's terms before you reuse a picture anywhere else. You can always link to this page or to the publisher's page.
- How often does the Mount Etna picture change?
- The Etna and Stromboli picture files are numbered in 3-minute steps (the file name carries the minute of the day divided by 3), so a new frame appears every 3 minutes. The time of the frame is printed under each picture.
