With streets and electricity Filicudi was propelled into the 20th century. But somehow one has still the feeling that «gray daily life» will never really get to this remote place.
It seems as if everyday life has no chance of conquering this stony, stubborn and timeless place in the Mediterranean seas. In 2000 the seven Aeolian islands became part of the UNESCO «World Heritage».
