  • Then And Now In Licodia Eubea, Sicily

    Today I was at the Brooklyn “Club” of the brotherhood of New Yorkers from Licodia Eubea, Sicily in Catania province. My contact, author Natale Caruso, showed me old photos of the town. And well, I have a matching one I took from the castle in May this year to one he had from the 1920s!…

  • Sicily Beyond the Guidebook

    Along with Pierfilippo Spoto of Val di Kam excursions, I was interviewed last month in Sicily by “in3minuti.it” news about relational tourism and why we, Experience Sicily, bring our clients to the Sicanian mountains of south-central Sicily… And why we program more time in Agrigento Province than most tour operators.

I can’t wait to go back! Next July, you can come with me, for a unique experience in Sicily: Life in…

  • Harmony Of The People

    The magnificent Temple of Concordia is named for a Latin inscription that was found on a dedication marker unearthed in the vicinity of the archaeological site–i.e., a marker not associated with the temple; however spirited archaeologists took the text on the marker that said something to the effect of “dedicated to the harmony of the…

  • Let’s Stroll

    I hope you’ll join me for some strolling in Sicily next year! I look quite glamorous (If I do say so myself!) in this photo from May, taken while I was in Siracusa, Sicily. But the reality is that most of the time when I prepare these posts, I’m at my computer in my office…

  • Take the Long Way Around
