The Valle del Bove is a large basin located on the eastern side of the volcanic edifice of Etna, within the protected area of the Etna Park, in the territory of the municipality of Zafferana Etnea (CT)
located at 1,910 metres above sea level on the southern side of Etna, in the municipality of Nicolosi (CT).
