MALFA
{
Malfa is a comune (municipality) on the island of Salina, one of the Aeolian Islands, in the Metropolitan City of Messina, Sicily, southern Italy. It is located about 140 kilometres (87 mi) northeast of Palermo and about 80 kilometres (50 mi) northwest of Messina.
Malfa derived its name from Amalfi, after some families from that city established here during the 12th century.
The island of Salina is greenest and second largest of the seven islands in the archipelago. The main economic activities are agriculture, tourism and fishing. Cultivated products are grapes, capers, olives, figs and pricklypears.
Malfa is a production and exporting center of Malvasia white wine. The fertile soil produces capers for export.
Malfa celebrates the festival of San Lorenzo (Patron Saint of Malfa) on 10 August each year, with a street parade, music and fireworks.
During the 20th century, many Malfitani migrated to Australia and to a lesser number to the United States.
The movie The Postman, Massimo Troisi's last one, was filmed in the frazione of Pollara.
