School reopening in Ginostra, Stromboli

Overview

A school has reopened in Ginostra, a remote hamlet on the slopes of the Stromboli volcano in Italy, after being closed for twenty years. The facility is accessible only by boat and currently serves a single six-year-old student named Aysha.

The reopening was facilitated by an agreement between the Lipari municipal administration and the Archdiocese of Messina, utilizing space within the renovated San Vincenzo Ferreri parish rectory. The initiative was driven by the advocacy of the student’s parents to prevent the family from having to relocate or commute long distances to Lipari or Milazzo.

Local authorities noted that the decision supports the isolated community of approximately 40 residents and upholds education as a fundamental right in remote locations. The student is taught by teacher Laura Mongi with support from Aeolian Islands school authorities.
