The National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) reported that a new hornito formed atop the volcano recently.
INGV volcanologists, during a field trip, found 6 crater vents active – 4 in the North and 2 in the South crater area. The latest bursting lava spattering phase has been constructing a new, steep-sided cinder cone in the northern sector, also called the hornito currently (see the video).

The recent short lava flow on the Sciara del Fuoco continues to cool down, it undergoes so-called crystallization process.

No significant ground deformation was recorded.
