The most recent violent eruption was in July 2024; there were two in 2019, and one of them killed a hiker. Though the "normal" small eruptions of lava are not dangerous, you should be aware of the possible danger. The local authorities are very aware of Stromboli's state, so listen to them. If paths to the craters are closed, don't go there. Never climb up the volcano without a local guide. Don't leave paths. Tours up the Stromboli aren't easy walks.
