Portopalo di Capo Passero: Where Sicily Meets Two Seas (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sicily, as everyone knows, is roughly triangular in shape. It is no coincidence that it was once known as Trinacria, or that its symbol, since Greek and Roman times, has been the three-legged triscele. Its three points are Cape Boeo, or Lilybaeum, near Trapani; Cape Faro, near Messina; and Cape Passero, in the territory of Portopalo, in the province of Syracuse. The first two mark the island’s northern side, one to the west and the other to the east, while the third stretches out from Sicily’s s
Three Generations of the Catalano Family in Palermo (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The old saying “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree” certainly seems to fit a number of important families in Sicilian art. The most famous internationally is perhaps the Pirandello family, not least because of the Nobel Prize awarded to Luigi Pirandello, but also because two of his sons became artists in their own right: Fausto, an accomplished painter, and Stefano, a writer. Another family, this time from Palermo, can claim three generations of artists and bears the name Catalano: Eustach
Messina’s Marian Traditions: Madonna della Lettera and the Vara (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Vos et ipsam civitatem benedicimus” – “We bless you and your city.” These are the words that welcome those arriving in Messina by sea, and can also be seen from the air when approaching the nearby airports of Catania or Reggio Calabria. According to tradition, they come from a letter sent by the Virgin Mary herself to the people of Messina. The story dates back to 42 AD. After Saint Paul had converted many of the city’s inhabitants, a delegation from Messina is said to have travelled with him t
Alcantara: Sicily’s River Shaped by Fire, Water and Time (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One might say that the Alcantara Gorges were born from the meeting of fire and water, but their story is worth telling in a little more detail. Around 300,000 years ago, during an eruption of Mount Etna – Europe’s highest active volcano, located in the province of Catania and visible for miles because of the plume rising from its summit – a lava flow reached the bed of the Alcantara River. When the lava came into contact with the water, it cooled slowly and formed the distinctive basaltic rock f
Termini Imerese and Its Ancient Thermal Baths (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If it is true, though impossible to prove, that mythology has its roots in some form of reality, then this story begins with none other than Hercules. According to legend, Heracles, as he was known in Greek mythology, the demigod born to Zeus and the mortal queen Alcmene, became famous for his superhuman strength and the Twelve Labors. To restore his strength, he is said to have immersed himself in the warm thermal waters of Termini Imerese. To understand the town’s origins, we must go back in t
