Sicily, the natural bridge between Europe and Africa, is the Mediterranean Oriental and Occidental platform. Once upon a time it was the centre of the world. The peoples have left crypts and traces here with no virtual pain: mythical, historical, one after the other they are still here breathing the same air. Sicily is more than an island, it’s a continent, where various Mediterranean civilizations are meeting. Sicily offers to a guest not only naturalistic beauties, three thousand years of history, the unique culture and the excusive gastronomic philosophy. Sicily is enriched thanks to its conquerors, which they put on iron and on fire influencing the local identity. Sicily is an enormous open air museum, offering the well preserved monuments of the settlers. Above all the mentioned heritage, transformed Sicily in the richest and multicultural space in Italy and in Europe, the territory offers charming sightseeing like the Sicilian Baroque, the investigation traces of Inspector Montalbano. The best way to discover Sicily is cross each single path, road or corner.
