alto 3300 metri, l’Etna si trova in Sicilia. È il vulcano più alto d’Europa e uno dei più attivi del mondo.

In this sentence, “il più alto” and “uno dei più attivi” are both examples of superlatives, which are used to indicate that something is at the top of a particular quality or characteristic.
“Il più alto” means “the tallest” and is used to indicate that the Etna is the volcano with the highest altitude in Europe. It’s a definite superlative, meaning that it refers to a specific thing.
“Uno dei più attivi” means “one of the most active” and is used to indicate that the Etna is among the volcanoes with the highest frequency of eruptions in the world. It’s an indefinite superlative, meaning that it refers to a general group of things.
In both cases, the superlative is formed by adding the definite or indefinite article, “il” or “uno dei”, before the comparative form of the adjective, “più alto” or “più attivi”.
Here are some examples:
Più/Meno may follow the noun, in which case the article is not repeated:
– “Il Po è il fiume più lungo d’Italia” (The Po is the longest Italian river)
– “Roma è la città più bella del mondo” (Rome is the most beautiful city in the world)
The European Space Agency (ESA) has released a photo of Mount Etna taken from space.
The photo shows the eruption on February 18th, the second in the past few days. The first, on February 16th, caused a very spectacular lava flow on the eastern side of Mount Etna, fortunately far from houses.
Mount Etna was also very active on February 19th.
Standing at 3300 meters, Mount Etna is located in Sicily. It is the highest volcano in Europe and one of the most active in the world.
