Strombolicchio (or small Stromboli) is an ocean stack of volcanic beginning found around 2 km to the northeast of the island of Stromboli in the Tyrrhenian Sea, close Italy. Made of hard basalt rock impervious to disintegration, the island climbs 50 meters over the ocean and covers an area of give or take 300 square meters. Strombolicchio is a volcanic attachment and some piece of the same geological stage as the island of Stromboli. It's accepted to have been made by the first well of lava from which the island of Stromboli was developed. Emissions at this site stopped give or take 200,000 years back, and the volcanic action moved around 3 km to the southwest.
In the 1920s, the tip of the island was launched to assemble a beacon, diminishing the crest stature of the island by almost 10 to 12 meters. A staircase comprising of 200 steps prompting the beacon from the ocean was likewise constructed. For quite a while, Strombolicchio turned into a popular tourist attraction. At that point in 1991, the island was proclaimed a nature reserve and sightseers were prohibited from arriving on the island. It is still conceivable to take a pontoon trek to the island, round around and back.
Strombolicchio has some exceptionally uncommon types of flora and fauna. Bassia saxicola, for instance, an imperiled bloom at danger of eradication, is overall present just in a couple of hundred examples on the island of Capri. Podarcis raffonei, an uncommon reptile delegated at discriminating danger of eradication, is discovered just at three different areas, all of which are in the Aeolian Islands.
