The article outlines the scholarly life of Giuseppe Recupero, the Enlightenment intellectual from Catania who devoted his natural history studies to Mount Etna and its complex orographic, hydrographic and environmental system. Described as a ‘philosopher of the mountains’, the author is one of the most authoritative figures of 18th-century Sicilian reformism, a learned clergyman keen to reconcile faith and science, reason and progress.
Keywords: Giuseppe Recupero, philosopher of the mountains, Sicilian reformism
