Sicily

The Mediterranean in Sicily is a way of life and existence that exudes from the brown skin, the vibrant colors, and the intense aromas of citrus fruits and the genuine produce I find on the stalls of the local markets. Palermo is a city with a noble and elegant heart; it has hosted kings and nobles, but despite this, it doesn't hide its authentic side, with stalls brimming with fresh delicacies in Ballarò and also quality street food, with arancini and crocchè that make you forget your diet without regrets. Mount Etna winks at the island's vibrancy. The volcano has every right to be admired with vanity, surrounded by a park of trails waiting to be explored. History and nature are the region's winning combination, united in places that become true gems, such as Ortigia, the island that encompasses Syracuse's historic center with its restaurants and artisan shops, or the magical panorama of Taormina, but above all, beautiful Cefalù, offering unforgettable swims from a beach overlooking ancient ruins. Every corner of Sicily is a place to fall in love with: the Baroque Val di Noto astonishes, the Alcantara Gorges enchant, the Aeolian Islands immersed in pristine nature, and the Caribbean-like beach of San Vito Lo Capo are captivating. Sicily is simply a riot of beauty that seems to have sprung from a painter's vivid imagination, unique and enchanting places that remain forever in your heart.
