Experience Sicily’s Evelina Buttitta, along with some of my other cousins, made their annual pilgrimage to Siracusa this week to see theater in the Teatro Antico of the city’s archaeological park. Here’s a photo taken by Evelina of Sophocles’ “Electra.” For a few weeks in May and June each year, you can experience ancient Greek theater works in an amphitheater build by Greek Sicilians in the 5th century BC. How cool is that?!
