Sicily, the largest of the Mediterranean Islands, beautiful sunny island in the Mediterranean Sea, with breathtaking landscapes rich in contrast is a compendium of the greatest civilisations and cultures of all time.
This incredible land preserves a rich testimony of any ruler who, throughout the centuries, held sway of the island (Hellenic, Arab, Spanish, French etc..). The necropolises and relics of Sicani and Siculi, the temples and cities of Greeks, the buildings left by the Romans, the Byzantines, the Arabs and Normans witness about the Sicily’s multi-millenary history.  
Sicily, land rich of art and culture, in its cities ( Palermo, Catania, Caltanissetta, Enna, Syracuse, Ragusa, Trapani, Agrigento, Noto, Taormina, Messina ) any movement of art is well represented; Luigi Pirandello, Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, Leonardo Sciascia, Gesualdo Bufalino and many others witness the intellectual refinement of the Island. Sicily preeminently represents the Mediterranean culture.
