Bronte lies about a halfway along the Circumetnea route, nestled peacefully between Mount Etna and the Nebrodi Regional Park. Bronte is the most popular town for Italy's pistachio production, probably thanks to its volcanic soil, pleasant all year around temperatures and hard working Sicilians using only old traditional techniques.
