Sicily

I like to provide an international touch to my projects based on my business, writing and film background. I am focused on understanding what is going on worldwide and try to communicate it to people that would like to share it with me.

Sicily

Sicily is a true treasure in the middle of the Mediterranean sea. The largest island in the area, it was center of many historical events, it was invaded by Greeks, Romans, French, Arabs, Spaniards, leaving an incredible mix of cultures that makes Sicily really unique. The cities are beautiful and rich of art. Starting with Palermo, where you can find some gorgeous churches and some very elegant and historical buildings. Stop by at the Mondello beach. On the Eastern coast you can find the marvelous Taormina, with an astonishing view of the sea and its Greek Theatre has an absolute magical flavor. Going south it's possible to find Syracuse, with its Greek Theater and its sea port. Then the towns of Caltagirone, Noto and Ragusa, where Sicilian spirit and soul come out with no doubts. Another breathtaking place is Piazza Armerina, where it's possible to visit the Roman Villa famous for its mosaics, among the artistic value of them, there are signs of women wearing bikinis, proving that we didn't really create any new fashion or social breakthroughs on our time. As we proceed towards Catania, we can spot Acitrezza where Odysseus faced the Cyclops. But, one and only, as a Queen supervising the all scenario is the largest volcano in Europe, Mount Etna. Still active, it gives some of the most amazing views in the world, when erupting. In the Spring it still has snow and people can ski, but since it's only 30 minutes from the beach, it is possible to change clothes and go swimming in the same day.
