The following is a list of volcanoes whose most recent eruptions have been within the last 200 years in Italy:

Ferdinandea is a submerged volcanic island off the coast of southern Sicily. Its last recorded eruption was in 1831. Sicilians call the volcano Firdinandèa("FEER-dee-nahn-DEH-ah"). Ferdinandea is part of the submarine volcanic chain called Campi Flegrei del Mar di Sicilia.

Etna, which is called Mount Etna in English, last erupted in 2011. It is located in eastern Sicily, where it is called a Muntagna ("ah moon-TAH-nyah"), which means "the mountain."

Monte Vesuvio, whose last eruption was in 1944, is known in English as Mount Vesuvius. It is east of the southwestern Italian peninsular city of Naples (Napoli). The pronunciation is "MOHN-teh veh-SOO-vyoh."

Pantelleria last erupted in 1891. It is an island volcano that is off the southwestern coast of Sicily.

Stromboli, which is an island volcano off the northern coast of Sicily, last erupted in 2010. The pronunciation is "strohm-BOH-lee."

Vulcano, which is off the coast of northern Sicily, is last known to have erupted in 1890. It is called Vulcanu in Sicilian. The pronunciation of this island volcano is "vool-KAH-noh" in Italian and "vool-KAH-noo" in Sicilian.
