Holidays in Sicily
Bare, arid, sun-baked, all adjectives used by those who do not
know Sicily well.
But there is another Sicily to discover.
The Nebrodi and Madonie mountain ranges are the last offshoots
of the Italian continental Apennines; all around there is a ferment
of hills that end where the sea begins. Your eyes see only the
yellow of the crops and the green of the vineyards. Bread and
wine that this land offers to those who know how to learn it.
If you should wish to explore this land, the parks, the reserves,
the wildlife sanctuaries, you will discover lots of other colours.
And fragrances too.
"Since the time of Proserpina, Sicily has been the house
of flowers. It is said that the virgin Goddesses, Proserpina,
Minerva and Diana, wove a multi-coloured tunic made of flowers
for their father Jupiter... Now I understand why the Gods loved
Sicily so much." This is what was written in 1880 by a "Milady
in Sicilia", whose real name was Frances Elliot. |
