Congratulations Louis Mendola and Jacqueline Alio  on their latest treatise, Kingdom of Sicily 1130-1266!

I am in awe of the detailed research that was completed to write this book that will be a consistent reference for me for years to come as I continue to transmit how the history of Sicily offers humanity endless lessons for living today. Lou and Jacquie are outstanding in every way. They live amongst the walls that tell these stories. From BestOfSicily.com to this new book, for Sicily’s medieval history and beyond, these two authors, historians, and Sicilian Americans are my trusted reference points.
