| VENERE MORGANTINA TRINACRIA AIDONE ENNA SANT'AGATA CATANIA SICILIA MONDO ROSALIA BAELI |
VENERE MORGANTINA AIDONE TRINACRIA ENNA SICILIA BAELI
MOSTRA FOTOGRAFICA VENERE DI MORGANTINA
http://www.messinacity.com/News/Morgantina.htm CATANIA, 2.02.08 inizio festa Sant'Agata. Mostra fotografica al Teatro San Giorgi, Venere di Morgantina e zona archeologica di Morgantina-Aidone in provincia di Enna-Sicilia. Il 5 e 6 agosto una magnifica manifestazionecon 250 cittadini di Aidone che indossano i costumi antichi per far rivivere la città. Il senato, il mercato, il teatro ...tutto riprende animazione e vitalità. per un giorno facciamo un salto nel passato, in una zona archeologica, in un'atmosfera unica, rilassante, beata. Lo scorso anno 3.000 visitatori nel corso dei 2 giorni di spettacolo-partecipato. Non c'è orario, potete entrare gratis in qualunque momento, la città è li ad aspettarvi con i suoi cittadini al lavoro. Morgantina si trova su un colle di fronte alla piana di Catania che si apre ai suoi piedi, una visione spettacolare. Sulla sinistra l'Etna domina il profilo dell'antica città sul colle chiamato Serra Orlando. Dall'autostrada CATANIA-ENNA uscita MULINELLO, direzione Piazza Armerina, poco dopo il rettilineo dei boschi gestiti dalla forestale con bellissime aree per fermarsi a respirare, troverete il bivio per Aidone, dopo il rifornimento AGIP, a pochi chilometri troverete il paese che è un balcone panoramico sllla Sicilia, con il suo museo archeologico con pezzi unici ed enigmatici....Morgantina è il luogo di ritrovamenti singolari di una perfezione a cui non si è ancora data risposta.
Forse la giusta soluzione fu quella del primo archeologo che scavò per conto del re di Svezia....lui diceva che questa era TRINACRIA... la capitale del regno di Sicilia al tempo di Ducezio re dei Siciliani che unificò tutte le città stato ....la capitale dove vivevano tutti i saggi, i capi, i sapienti....
di Giuseppe Algozino http://www.cataniaomnia.it/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5468&Itemid=1407
Un altro scippo ai danni della Sicilia.In seguito all'accordo tra il Ministro per i beni culturali Rutelli,l'assessore regionale allo stesso ramo, Lino Leanza,oggi presidente pro tempore della regione Sicilia,e il direttore del Paul Getty Museum di Malibù,la Venere di Morgantina sarà restituita all'Italia fra tre anni. Nel frattempo sono stati ridate al nostro paese 60 opere d'arte, attualmente esposte al Quirinale e che in seguito saranno trasferite a Valle Giulia.
Le celebre statua del V secolo A.c.resterà quindi ancora per molto tempo lontana dal suo sito naturale che è il Museo archeologico di Aidone (Enna) a pochi chilometri da Morgantina,luogo dove fu rinvenuta da un tombarolo.Da come sono andate le cose in passato, non sono in pochi a nutrire seri dubbi sulla futura restituzione della Venere, ed è per questo motivo che parliamo di scippo ai danni di una collettività e di un territorio della nostra regione che non intende rassegnarsi alla perdita dei suoi beni archeologici.
Le vicende dell'importantissimo reperto sono abbastanza note e le riassumiamo solamente. Dopo essere stata trafugata,la statua che è alta due metri e venti,viene spezzata in tre parti e portata in Svizzera dove sarà poi ricomposta e restaurata.Trasferita a Londra, è venduta in un'asta pubblica ed acquistata dal museo americano (1988).
La monumentale statua rappresenta la dea dell'amore,Afrodite,e sicuramente fu oggetto di culto dato che è stata rifinita da tutti i lati per essere ammirata dai fedeli della dea.La testa,il braccio e il piede sono di marmo mentre il resto del corpo e di tufo siciliano, come risultò da una perizia del Tribunale di Enna che nell'agosto del 2001 condannò il ricettatore (il Paul Getty Museum) ad una penale di 40 miliardi d lire e a due anni di reclusione.Fu questa la prima condanna con pena pecuniaria così rilevante per esportazione clandestina di opere d'arte. Un museo americano è ancora in possesso di 14 manufatti d'argento acquistati incautamente ed appartenenti al tesoro di Morgantina.
La statua è stata fotografata nel 1993 nel museo di Malibù,California,dove si trova esposta al centro di una grande sala,dal nostro conterraneo Rino Baeli che ha curato un catalogo con tutte le notizie sul prezioso reperto. Da allora Baeli porta la documentazione sulla statua, costituita da enormi pannelli,depliant e cartoline,in giro per l'Italia.
Abbiamo incontrato questo siciliano doc, che non si rassegna allo scippo ai danni della sua terra, al convegno organizzato dall'associazione Sicilia Mondo al Teatro Sangiorgi di Catania in occasione dei 40 anni dalla fondazione. " La statua - ci dice Baeli - doveva essere resituita subito poiché il suo valore è inestimabile. Avrebbe creato un indotto turistico molto consistente per l'economia della provincia di Enna e di tutta la regione.I 60 pezzi restituiti all'Italia non rappresentano niente di fronte al valore della Venere di Morgantina.Anche in questa occasione gli interessi della Sicilia non sono stati difesi."
La mostra è stata vista dai rappresentanti delle associazioni siciliane nel mondo.

This is the biggest island in the Mediterranean, separated from the Italian peninsula by the strait of Messina. It has important mountain groups: Peloritani, Nebrodi, Madonie, Iblei. The coasts offers a landscape of beauty almost everywhere; groups of smaller islands are scattered round the coast (the Eolie or Lipari, Ustica, the Egadi. the isle of Pantelleria and the Pelagie). The Etna, rising in the center of a volcanic area of Sicily, is the highest active volcano in Europe (3,323 mt). The isles of Stromboli and Vulcano also are active volcanoes.

PALERMO
Historical Palermo sits compactly around one central crossroads, the Quattro Canti, which is at the core of four distinct quarters. The Albergheria and the Capo quarter, the latter beyond the cathedral, lie roughly west of Via Maqueda; the Vucciria and old harbour of La Cala and the La Kalsa, lie to the east, closest to the water. In these areas you'll find virtually all the surviving ancient monuments and buildings of the city: the hybrid Norman-Arab-Baroque Cattedrale Sannta Maria Assunta and nearby Palazzo dei Normanni (Royal Palace), with its superb, mosaic-decorated chapel, the Cappella Palatina; the
glorious Norman churches of La Martorana and San Giovanni degli Eremeti; the Baroque opulence of San Giuseppe dei Teatini.
Located in the center of Palermo, near Via Libertà.and Piazza Croci, Villa Trabia is one of the few aristocratic homes open to the public.
This estate, which is now owned by the City of Palermo, houses civic offices and a public library. The palace is set in a beautiful wooded park open to the public most days. Built for the Prince of Trabia (Lanza family) in the eighteenth century,
Villa Trabia provides a glimpse of the lifestyle of the Palermitan aristocracy of that era. Just outside Palermo you may
visit the La Favorita and La Zisa villas and the Capuchin Convent, with its catacombs. http://www.sensationalsicily.com/palermo.html
Castelbuono: visit the church Matrice Vecchia and the Ventimiglia castle.
Cefalù with its many beaches is an ideal place for a holiday. In town visit the Cathedral, richly decorated with mosaics, the
Museum Mandralisca and the Sanctuary of Gibilmanna.
Monreale: this town overlooks the "Conca d'Oro," the beautiful valley beyond Palermo and is is world-renowned for its
cathedral - S.Maria la Nuova, a dazzling mixture of Arab, Byzantine and Norman artistic styles framed by traditional
Romanesque architecture. The beautiful mosaics in the cathedral are said to be one of the world's largest displays of this art and take 6,340 sqm of the duomo's interior surface, covering practically every inch. The masterpiece and key representation is the domineeringly majestic Christ Pantocrator located on the central apse over the main altar. The entire image is 13 meters across and seven meters high.The splendid cloister of the Benedictine abbey alone would make Monreale famous. Located next to the cathedral, these 228 columns, some with mosaic inlay, each with a meticulously stone carved capital, enclose the gardens of the abbey and are really worth a visit.
Mondello is a most renowned seaside resort, few kilometres from Palermo with crystal clear water and rich underwater vegetation and caves.
Ustica: This is a solitary island (36 miles from Palermo), which has recovered its nature resources thanks to the Marine
Reserve that protects its extraordinary seabeds. The under-water flora and fauna are multiplying their species and they can
all be visited with guided tours.
AGRIGENTO - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZr3PHeapSc
Located on a plateau overlooking Sicily's southern coast, Agrigento was founded as Akragas around 582 BC by a group of
colonists from Gela, who themselves were the immediate descendants of Greeks from Rhodes and Crete. Akragas was renamed
Agrigentum by the Romans, and Girgenti by the Saracens, only to be christened Agrigento in 1927. At the southern limit of the
ancient city, in the so-called "Valley of the Temples", the city architects erected their sacred buildings during the fifth
century BC. The oldest of Akragas's temples is the Tempio di Ercole, the other ones are the Tempio della Concordia, dated to
around 430 BC and perfectly preserved, Tempio di Giunone, Tempio di Giove and the so-called Tempio dei Dioscuri. The medieval
city of Agrigento is not without a certain charm. High in the historical center of the city, the Romanesque Gothic cathedral,
built during the fourteenth century, still displays some of its medieval character, as does the thirteenth-century Church of
San Nicola. Also visit the S.Spirito Abbey and the Museo Archeologico Regionale. http://www.sensationalsicily.com/agrigento.html
Canicattì: From Agrigento you may easily reach this town, famous for its grape variety Italia. Visit the church of S. Diego,
the Chiesa del Purgatorio, typical of the 18th century, and the richly decorated Chiesa di S. Francesco. Amongst the many
beautiful monuments in Canicattì, there is the Mother Church of S.Pancrazio, home to precious pieces of art, like a marble
statue representing the Ecce Homo and a painting of the Holy Family with S. Anna and S. Gioacchino. Also the Castello
Bonanno, the Torre dell'Orologio (clock tower), the Palazzo of Baron La Lomia and Palazzo Bartocelli.
Palma di Montechiaro: founded in 1637 by Prince of Lampedusa Carlo Tomasi. One of his descendants, namely Giuseppe Tomasi of
Lampedusa, was the author (1958) of the celebrated novel The Leopard, successively adapted into a film by director Luchino
Visconti, about the decline of an aristocratic family of Palermo between 1860, year of Garibaldi's Exploit, and 1910. You can
still visit the Castle of Montechiaro at the top of a rocky cliff.
Porto Empedocle: in the Località Caos you may visit the home of Luigi Pirandello.
Naro has many baroque churches and the Chiaromonte castle.
Sciacca: a thermal town where you can visit the Cathedral, S.Margherita and the Steripinto, a particular building of the xv
century.
Caltabellotta: in this old town have a look at the churches of S.Agostino, S.Salvatore and the Chiesa Madre.
Lampedusa: This small (20 km2 ) calcareous island, scorched by the hot sun all year round and characterised by its
African-type landscapes and by the "dammusi" (stone houses), is surrounded by the most transparent Mediterranean waters. The
main attraction of Lampedusa is the great solitude of this island and the strong contrast between the aridity of its land,
covered with Indian figs, agaves, carobs and low bushy scrub on one hand, and the sharp colours of an extremely crystal-clear
sea on the other. Also Linosa, another island, but of vulcanic origin, is worth a visit; its populated area is represented by
a little village dominated by the typically "dammusi". Lampione - uninhabited crag with a lighthouse, it lies 20 miles from
Lampedusa, can be reached only from there.
CATANIA
A splendid Baroque City at the slopes of the Etna, from the eighteenth century on, Catania has been considered the second
most important city of Sicily. Subjected to the Etna Vulcan, this town has been damaged by lava flows and earthquakes on
several occasions. The city has two Roman amphitheatres, one which was built on a pre-existent Greek one and the other which
is a completely Roman structure.
Visit the Ursino Castle, built on the orders of Emperor Frederick II von Hohenstaufen in the first half of the thirteenth
century, and now a museum open to the public. The oldest part of the Duomo (Cathedral) dates back to 1092; it hosts the tombs
of Frederick III of Aragona, who ruled from 1296-1337, and the one of Constance, wife of Frederick IV of Aragona. Most of
Catania's wide streets and palazzi were built during the eighteenth century, a characteristic is the gray, volcanic stone
used in the buildings. This was the period in which noble families from across eastern Sicily, used to build palazzo in
Catania, beginning a subtle social and economical rivalry with Palermo. The two most famous citizens are S.Agata, the martyr
patroness of the city and Vincenzo Bellini, the opera composer. Stroll through Via dei Cruciferi and visit the churches of
S.Benedetto, S.Giuliano and S.Niccolò. http://www.sensationalsicily.com/catania.html
Caltagirone: Once the location of a Saracen fortress, this charming mountain town is famous for its hand made, traditional
ceramics. There are many cultural bodies who promote this aspect of the city like the Ceramic School and the Ceramic Museum.
Since the earthquake of 1693 the night dedicated to S.Giacomo(24/25 July) has been celebrated with huge images made up of
colored lights or 'luminarie' which have to illuminate a staircase. The 'Scala' itself has been used since 1785 and just like
ancient times over 4000 sand weighted papers cartons 'coppi' containing terracotta lanterns and the finest of oil are used
for the illumination.
Acireale - The Duomo, S.Sebastiano, walk to S.Maria della Scala - a picturesque fishing village.
Pantelleria: The largest of Sicily's islands and just thirty miles from the African coast. An ideal spot for your holiday,
with its beautiful beaches, caves and the volcanic Lago di Venere with thermal spring water. The Montagna Grande mountain is
surrounded by 24 "cuddle" (small craters that recall the volcanic origins of this islands), lava flows, residues of
pumice-stone, basalts, fumaroles and thermal sources (Gadir, Nicà, Satana). There are many grottos where it is possible to
take healthy steam baths; one of the most famous ones is the 'Stufa' (stove) del Bagno di Arturo near Sibà.
SIRACUSA
Until Roman times, this was the most powerful and magnificent city in all Sicily. Today, it is an impressive and intriguing
sight, with a mixture of late Baroque architecture - vivid yet damaged by the passage of time, and the reconstruction of the
city following the terrible earthquake of 1693 - and ancient classical architecture. It is situated in an exquisite landscape
of sea, rocks and Mediterranean vegetation. Siracusa may be divided in several areas.
The most ancient part of town is the island of Ortigia, linked to the mainland by the Ponte Nuovo. Have a stroll and look at
the Fonte Aretusa, related to the myth of the goddess Diana's nymph. Don't miss the beautiful Baroque Duomo with its ornate
chapels, carved Doric columns, frescoes and statues. The other Baroque buildings, on the same square, include the striking
Palazzo Beneventano del Bosco whith a lovely courtyard, the Palazzo del Senato and the Church of Santa Lucia alla Badia
(S.Lucy is the patron saint of this town). Visit the Linear Theatre and the churches of S. Maria delle Colonne, S.Giovanni,
S.Pietro, Palazzo Mergulese-Montalto. Palazzo Bellomo hosts an Art gallery ( Entombment of St. Lucy by Caravaggio,
Annunciation by Antonello da Messina), and the imposing Maniace Castle with its Swabian architecture don't has to be missed.
Via della Maestranza is one of the oldest and interesting streets of Ortigia, literally stuffed with Baroque buildings: look
out for Palazzo Interland Pizzuti, Palazzo Impellizzeri, Palazzo Bonanno, Palazzo Romeo Bufardeci, S.Francesco
all'Immacolata. We also recommend a walk through Mastrarua, another old street, Via Mirabella and Corso Matteotti, full of
shops. Also interesting: the Church of S.Spirito and the Belvedere S.Giacomo which offers a spectacular view.
In the archaeological area on the mainland part of town, called Parco Archeologico della Neapolis, you may visit the Ear of
Dionysius (situated in the Latomia del Paradiso, a garden with orange and palm trees), the ancient Greek theatre, the Roman
amphitheatre and the Tomb of Archimedes. In the Regional Archaeological Museum Paolo Orsi you may view many interesting finds
dating back to Sicilian prehistory.
In the areas of Tyche and Akradina: visit the Papyrus Museum, the S.Giovanni Catacombs, the Crypt of S.Marciano, the Basilica
of S.Giovanni Evangelista and S.Lucia extra moenia. Also worth: a walk to the Eurialo Castle, on the north side ot town.
A favourite excursion is a boat trip starting at the Fonte Ciane, at about 8 km out of town; it will get you to the spot,
where, according to Ovid, the Rape of Proserpina took place.
Noto: Defined as "Stone garden", Noto was entirely built with a soft stone that, owing to the effect of sun rays, has
gradually acquired a beautiful honey shade.
Noto: Is the capital of the 18th century Sicilian and European baroque, and its religious and civil monuments are the most
valuable examples of talented artists of the time: Gagliardi, Sinatra, Labisi along with local skilled workers. Have a tour,
starting with the Cathedral, Palazzo Ducezio, the Holy Crucifix, the Monastery of "SS. Salvatore", "S. Francesco", S.
Domenico, Santa Chiara. Palazzo Nicolaci di Villadorata has incredible grotesque sculptures; Via Nicolaci", is called the
street of balconies. But Noto is not only Baroque; its whole territory offers the necropolis of "Noto Antica" and of
"Castelluccio", the archaeological finds of the Greek town of Eloro, the sanctuaries of "S. Corrado Fuori le Mura" and of "S.
Maria della Scala", the rupestrian and Byzantine oratories, the beautiful sea and the naturalistic reserves of "Vendicari"
and "Cava Grande".
RAGUSA
Set on a wide limestone hill between two deep valleys it is divided into two distinct areas: Ragusa Ibla the old town with
its lovely baroque architecture, and Ragusa (the upper side). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragusa,_Italy
Ragusa Ibla's best-known church is the Basilica di San Giorgio, whose entrance is reached by climbing a spacious set of
elegantly decorated curving stairs. The majestic dome of the church towers above the town and dominates the Piazza del Duomo
and its neat rows of palm trees beneath it. The basilica was built in 1738 by the famous architect Rosario Gagliardo and is
considered Gagliardo's baroque masterpiece. The beautiful piazza before the church is surrounded by striking aristocratic
buildings like Palazzo Arezzi and Palazzo Donnafugata.
The splendid Villa Comunale (public gardens) is situated at the far end of Ragusa Ibla. Very well-mantained, it offers
beautiful sights of the mountain ranges and down over the Irminio valley. The Church of San Giorgio il Vecchio has an amazing
Gothic-Norman doorway. Chiesa di Santa Maria dell'Idria, dated 1639 has a decorated bell-tower with lovely floral panels of
majolica from Caltagirone. Palazzo Cosentini is the most typical of all the 18th century buildings in town, with elegant
balconies supported by ornamented corbels and sculptured animals and masks typical of the Baroque Art.
Castello di Donnafugata: this castle, situated in proximity to Santa Croce Camerina, about 20km from Ragusa is a major
attraction for tourists. Thanks to its scenery, it was the setting of many films.
Comiso - The church of S.Francesco, the Mother Church, Palazzo Iacono-Ciarcià and the Palazzo Occhipinti, one of the most
beautiful buildings in town, with its elegant baroque façade attributed to Gagliardi.
Modica - The stately Cathedral of San Giorgio is one of the most important and impressing religious monuments in all Sicily.
It has an impressive flight of 250 steps, that starts down from Corso Garibaldi. The façade rises through three levels to a
single bell-tower; its aisles richly decorated with stuccoes and paintings. Palazzo Polara stands right of the Cathedral -a
splendid baroque building also with an elegant flight of steps. Don't miss S.Pietro, the Chiesa del Carmine and Palazzo
Tomasi-Rossi with an impressive stone portal and beautiful balconies at the top floor.
Scicli - known as the Baroque Jewel. It boasts many lovely churches as the Madonna delle Milizie and Sant'Ignazio, both with
precious stuccoes and paintings. The 15th century Chiesa di San Bartolomeo houses a wooden nativity. Palazzo Beneventano, one
of the most impressive baroque monuments in the entire province. Other interesting monuments are the 1386's Monastery of the
Carmelite Fathers, San Matteo and Santa Croce. The Via Mormino Penna, lined with amazing palazzi, churches and monuments,
provides an unforgettable baroque atmosphere. Here stand the Palazzo Comunale (Town Hall), the Palazzo Spadaro and the
churches of San Giovanni, San Michele and Santa Teresa. The Santuario della Madonna delle Milizie near the coast is also
worth a visit.
TRAPANI
Walking in Corso Vittorio Emanuele, the old Loggia, Via Torrearsa, Via Garibaldi, you'll notice lots of historical palazzi
and churches of notable artistic worth: Palazzo Cavarretta, the Cathedral, Palazzo Riccio di Morana, Palazzo San Rocco,
Palazzo Riccio di San Gioacchino, Palazzo Lucatelli, the Chiesa del Collegio. In the Chiesa del Purgatorio, the sacred
statues of the Misteri of Trapani are kept. The Chiesa di San Pietro treasures the precious organ built by Francesco La
Grassa from Palermo. The Corso then leads into the so-called Ghetto, Via Della Giudecca and Via degli Ebrei, which was
inhabited by the Jewish community up to the XV century. The Northern part of the town is characterised by the Litoranea
(seafront) with the picturesque Piazza del Mercato del Pesce (Fish Market Square). Villa Margherita, the "lung" or outdoor
space of the town has giant ficus trees and is ideal for a relaxing walk.
EGADI ISLANDS
Favignana: this island is the largest of the archipelago of the Egadi and a popular tourist destination because of its
wonderful sea characterised by numerous coves. It is an island rich in history, the famous naval battle between the Romans
and the Carthaginians was fought here. Favignana is also famous all over the world for its "mattanza" (slaughter of tuna
fish) tradition. Levanzo - The smallest of the Egadi Islands, is an ideal place for trekking. Marettimo is the furthest from
Trapani and therefore this island still is a real natural paradise, with rugged and enchanting landscape and crystal clear
water.
Mozia - One of the largest Phoenician centres in Sicily. The archaeological excavations have revealed precious finds such as
the necropolis, a house of mosaics, and a paved road. One should not miss a visit to the Whitaker Museum that conserves
archaeological finds of great importance such as the Giovane (a young man) dressed in a tunic, a statue of Greek origin from
the second half of the V century BC.

MESSINA
Two great earthquakes hit this city, in 1783 and 1908, and during WWII it was heavily bombed.
Visit the Museo Regionale with Byzantine and Norman works as well as works by Messina's famous artists, Antonello da Messina
and Girolamo Aliprandi. Also interesting the Mannerist building - Monte di Pietà and the church Santissima Annunziata dei
Catalani. A short way from the Duomo, this church was built in the 12th century during the Norman rule and remodelled later
on by the Catalans. The apse is a fine specimen of the Norman composite style, that combines Roman, Moorish and Byzantine
features. The Duomo has been rebuilt in Norman style, after the earthquake of 1908. From the inside you may access the
Treasury, which displays a fine collection of religious objects and vestments, reliquaries, candlesticks, chalices and a fine
1600's monstrance, containing a host.
The astronomical clock on the bell-tower to the left of the cathedral has a mechanism dating from 1933.Don't miss a look at
it on midday! It consists of several layers, each with a different display endowed with a separate movement. At the bottom, a
two-horse chariot sets the day of the week; above, the central figure of Death looks at the four ages of man that pass before
him. At the third stage, the Sanctuary of Montalto sets the scene for a group of figures which, according to the time of
year, represent the Nativity, Epiphany, Resurrection and Pentecost. At the top, the tableau enacts a scene relating to a
local legend whereby the Madonna delivers a letter to the ambassodors of Messina in which she thanks and agrees to protect
the inhabitants of the town who were converted to Christianity by St. Paul the Apostle.
The female bell-strikers are the local heroines Dina and Clarenza, during the period of resistance against the Angevins
(1282).. The southern side of the bell-tower shows a perpetual calendar, the astronomical cycle marked by the signs of the
zodiac, and the different phases of the moon. When the clock strikes midday, all the mechanical figures come to life. On the
Piazza del Duomo you may admire the Fontana di Orione with allegoric statues of four rivers.
For excursions in the area:
Ganzirri and Torre Faro, two characteristic, pictoresque fishing villages full of life. Or the medieval hill village of
Savoca which boasts interesting churches like the Convento dei Capuccini, the 15th century Chiesa di San Michele with fine
Gothic-Renaissance portals, and the Chiesa Madre. From Casalvecchio you'll have a panoramic view over the Ionian coastline
and may visit the Chiesa Madre, decorated with Taormina marble.
Tindari: Piazzale Belvedere, Greek theatre and Basilica at the archaeological site.
AEOLIAN ISLANDS
A volcanic archipelago on Sicily's North-Eastern Tyrrhenian coast with the islands of Lipari ( the largest one), Salina (a
green island with many wineyards), Filicudi, Alicudi, Stromboli (with an active volcano), Panarea (a jet-set island) and
Vulcano (famous for its fango baths). The Greeks who colonized the islands around 580BC named them after the god of the winds
Aeolus. These beautiful spots offer an enchanting landscape, great beaches with white sand, castles, thermal resorts and
medieval structures and are a main tourist resort in Summer.
On Lipari the volcanic phenomenon can be observed in the island's thermal springs (up to 600), in its solfataras and in its
12 volcanic systems converging towards the 602 metres of Monte Chirica. This elevated and craggy island has spectacular
beaches and breathtaking ragged coasts.
Panarea - The main village, Contrada San Pietro, consists of a group of white houses clustered along the eastern side of the
island. The built-up area is crowned with olive trees and protected by huge walls. The other two villages north and south of
San Pietro are Dittella and Drauto.We recommend a boat tour to the nearby small islands of Basiluzzo, Dattilo and Lisca
Bianca, to the Scoglio Bottaro (with its underwater "fumaroles").
Salina - More than 400 different types of plants grow here. It is also the island with the highest peaks such as the three
volcanoes that originated e.g Monte Fossa delle Felci (962 m), which is partially covered by one of the most beautiful
strawberry tree woods of the entire Mediterranean.
Vulcano - famous for the baths in the warm waters of its submarine springs. This 21 km2, 500 metre high (Monte Aria) isle is
the Aeolian island closest to the Sicilian coast. Its name is a clear description of its geography: a land of lava and
fumarole, yellow sulphur rocks and black sands all worth a visit.
Stromboli - This 924 metre high lava mountain (Serra Vancori) which drops abruptly down to 2000 metres below sea-level is
Europe's biggest active volcano after Etna. During the night, the glittering "sciara" of fire (the red-hot flow descending
towards the sea) can be seen from the boats and from Panarea. During the day, the smoke of the peak joins the steam raising
up from the water that cools down the red-hot lava detritus which have plunged into the water after sliding down the slope of
the coast. The white houses of the little village create a unique contrast with the black lava background dotted with
dark-green bushes. http://www.sensationalsicily.com/aeolianislands.html
TAORMINA
A 19th century haunt of the English aristocracy, it has long been Sicily's most famous resort town and it was here that D.H.
Lawrence was inspired to write Lady Chatterly's Lover. Taormina has endlessly winding medieval streets and tiny passages. The
most famous view you can get on your strolls is the one overlooking the Greco-Roman amphitheatre, one of Sicily's largest,
with Mount Etna and the sea in the background. The Teatro Greco was founded by Greeks in the third century BC but the visible
remains are almost entirely Roman. Between July and August the theatre hosts an international arts festival including film,
theatre and music.
CALTANISSETTA
Located in the very heart of Sicily: It boasts a baroque Cathedral with frescoes by the Flemish artist Guglielmo Borremans,
17th century Palazzo Moncada, the remnants of the Saracen Pietrarossa Castle, the church of S.Sebastiano as well as many
other Baroque churches. A little out of town you'll reach the Romanesque Abbey of S. Spirito -- founded by Roger I in the 11th
century. It hosts a beautiful wooden crucifix of the 15th century.
Gela: Regional Archaeological Museum, the Greek Acropolis and excursion to the Castle of Falconara.
Licata: worth a visit, offering many 18th century buildings, the Church of S.Domenico with a beautiful cloister and the
Carmine Church.
ENNA
Also called "Belvedere della Sicilia", as it occupies a magnificent position on a plateau 948m above sea level. It's rather
unknown as a touristic destination, yet it hosts many interesting churches and museums. Duomo: although largely rebuilt in
the Baroque style in the 16th and 17th centuries, the cathedral with its coffered ceilinghas maintained its Gothic apses.
Alessi Museum: houses the collections of Canon Alessi.17th and 18th century sacred vestments embroidered with gold thread and
coral; selection of paintings, Greek, Roman and Byzantine coins; an assortment of archaeological finds ranging from
prehistoric times to the Late Middle Ages. Lombardia Castle which looks out over the valley; S.Michele Arcangelo, S.Marco,
erected on the site of an old synagogue. Don't miss a stroll in the Quartiere Fundrisi with its typical single-storey houses.
