Encyclopedic overview
View of the town of Lipari
Lipari (/ˈlɪpəri/ LIP-ər-ee, Italian: [ˈliːpari]; Sicilian: Lìpari; Latin: Lipara or Meligūnis; Ancient Greek: Μελιγουνίς, romanized: Meligounís, or Λιπάρα, Lipára) is the largest of the seven Aeolian Islands, located in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the northern coast of Sicily, Southern Italy, and a comune (municipality) including six of them (Lipari, Vulcano, Panarea, Stromboli, Filicudi and Alicudi); it is administratively part of the Metropolitan City of Messina. It has 12,793 permanent residents, but during the May to September tourist season, the total population may reach up to 20,000. It is also the name of the biggest island in the archipelago, where the main urban area of the comune is located.
