This street doesn't have it's own name; it's name is simply the first cross street of the street (that you cannot see in these photos) that you would find if you were to walk to the end of this street in the direction of the first photo above: Via Monte Nuovo Licola Patria. Monte Nuovo is the mountain that you can see in this third picture:
It is an inactive volcano, created over the course of only a couple weeks in 1538, which is why the it's name is "new mountain". It's height is only about 135 meters. The center of the volcano crater is only about half a mile from where I am. From this angle you can't really tell that it's a volcano, but from an aerial view it's quite clear. For example see this photo on this page: http://www.wunderground.com/wximage/cagtripodi/27
You can visit the vulcano and climb up to the rim and walk around, it's a nature preserve area.
The entrance is in a park at the end of Via Virgilio which is a cross street of Via Milliscola, nearby.
This area is where I lived when I was about 5 to 8 years old. It still feels more like home than Columbus, even though I've now lived in Columbus for nearly 40 years!
Adesso mi viene da piangere quando ci ripenso a come sono stato strappato via da qui. Si questa zona non è una zona bella e tranquilla, ma è quello che mi ricordo come il paese mio, con tutta la mia famiglia attorno.
