The town is situated in the heart of the Iblean Mountains, overlooking the upper valleys of the Anapo and Tellaro rivers, which helped the Corinthians control a broad swathe of Sicily. Day 2 Ride south to the hilltop Baroque town of Ragusa Ibla; cycle scenic roads to Modica. We start our exploration with a ride through the beautiful lower valleys of the Iblean Mountains, passing olive plantations and dry-stone walls that characterise this area. We then climb into the highlands to the delightful town of Ragusa Ibla, built over three hills separated by a deep valley, and home to beautiful Baroque churches and buildings.

We leave Modica behind and ride south through the quiet pictureaque Iblean countryside until we reach the lovely beach of Donnalucata, where we have the chance to swim in the crystal clear sea (weather and season permitting).

Following the coastline, we reach Sicily’s southernmost point: Isola delle Correnti, where the waters of the Ionian and the Mediterranean seas merge. We spend the night in the pleasant old shing village of Portopalo di Capo Passero.

This narrow stretch of marshy coastline provides a rare and now completely protected habitat for migratory species and for the local ora and fauna. There are some beautiful sandy beaches, perfect for a swim in the clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea. As we leave the reserve behind, we head north to the elegant town of Noto, another UNESCO World Heritage site. Noto is an absolute gem, a planned town in the unique Sicilian Baroque style, all built in a beautiful honey-coloured stone.

All rights reserved. booking@genius -loci.it | www.genius -loci.it *** GENIUS LOCI TRAVEL - The Real Spirit Of Italy *** Drive & Hike, Walk & Discover INTRODUCTION Everybody knows Sicily. And most of us could even name a few famous places such as Taormina, Mt. Etna, and Syracuse. All places which definitely deserve a visit! But this tour will also show you life in Sicily as the real Sicilians live it. You’ll fully explore the south-eastern part of Sicily, home to the eight baroque towns, listed by UNESCO as ‘world heritage sites’. Both Noto and Ragusa are a must! Of course you will visit Syracuse, once the most powerful Greek city in the world, where 3000 years of history are still alive. Visit its amazing Greek ‘Neapolis’ - and perhaps attend a show - and explore this intriguing city carefully. You will of course make a few nice walks, to explore the amazing landscape of the Iblei Mountains. Discover the inland villages, yet to be discovered by mass tourism. Sit in the shade of the orange trees and have a nice country lunch with local specialties. Have a delicious almond or strawberry ‘granita’ for breakfast, swim in the little pools of the wonderful Pantalica Gorge and handpick some fresh oranges. You will be part of the different civilizations that have chosen Sicily as their base: you’ll walk past prehistoric caves, Byzantine churches and baroque buildings.

  • Photo Ragusa
    foto Municipalities (link 3) Modica Modica [ˈmɔːdika] (Sicilian: Muòrica, Greek: Μότουκα, Motouka, Latin: Mutyca or Motyca) is a city and comune of 54.456 inhabitants in the Province of Ragusa, Sicily, southern Italy. The city is situated in the Hyblaean Mountains. Modica has neolithic origins and it represents the historical capital of the area which today almost corresponds to the Province of Ragusa. Until the 19th century it was the capital of a County that exercised such a wide political, economical and cultural influence to be counted among the most powerful feuds of the Mezzogiorno. Rebuilt following the devastating earthquake of 1693, its architecture has been recognised as providing outstanding testimony to the exuberant genius and final flowering of Baroque art in Europe and, along with other towns in the Val di Noto, is part of UNESCO Heritage Sites in Italy. Saint George’s Church in Modica Historical chocolate’s art in Modica The Cioccolato di Modica ("Chocolate of Modica", also known as cioccolata modicana) is an Italian P.G.I. specialty chocolate,[1] typical of the municipality of Modica in Sicily, characterized by an ancient and original recipe using manual grinding (rather than conching) which gives the chocolate a peculiar grainy texture and aromatic flavor.[2][3][4] The specialty, inspired by the Aztec original recipe for Xocolatl, was introduced in the County of Modica by the Spaniards, during their domination in southern Italy.[5][6] Since 2009 a festival named "Chocobarocco" is held every year in the city. Late Baroque Towns of the Val di Noto (South-Eastern Sicily) The eight towns in south-eastern Sicily: Caltagirone, Militello Val di Catania, Catania, Modica, Noto, Palazzolo, Ragusa and Scicli, were all rebuilt after 1693 on or beside towns existing at the time of the earthquake which took place in that year.

  • The Barocco Valley – Noto, Modica and Ragusa
    [email protected] The Barocco Valley – Noto, Modica and Ragusa Today meet our staff and departure for Noto. In the Arab period the town was the capital of one of the three districts of Sicily (the Val di Noto) and once defeated by the Christians, Noto became a rich Norman city. Unfortunately it was - totally destroyed by the 1693 Sicilian earthquake and rebuilt in a new position nearer to the Ionian Sea. But the new Noto is a masterpiece of Sicilian Baroque! Most of the buildings, including churches and noble palaces, follow one another along the main street - and are characterized by the honey tonality of tufa stone. Facades and balconies are all skillfully decorated by grinning masks, lion heads, putti and other embellishments. Unmissable is Noto Cathedral, dedicated to Saint Nicholas and built in perfect Sicilian Baroque style. - Then to Modica. Like the other towns in the Val di Noto, was badly damaged in the 1693 earthquake and largely rebuilt in Sicilian Baroque style. It is divided into two parts, “higher” Modica and “lower” Modica, which are connected by numerous flights of steps. Palazzi and houses rise from the bottom of the gorge Italian, English seemingly stacked one on top of the other. Magnificent churches, with their inspiring domes, bell towers and intricate facades, punctuate the red-tiled roofs and one is struck by the uniform beauty of the whole. Modica has a long and varied history, complete with the usual toing and froing of successions of invaders. It came to real prominence in 1296, when Frederick II of Aragon (not to - be confused with Frederick II “Stupor Mundi”) formed the “County of Modica”, a kind of “state within a state” that was initially governed by Mandfredi I Chiaramonte.

II. General Background American art museums generally have experienced a history of cooperation both with Italian museums and the Italian Cultural Ministry built on mutual assistance and shared interests in their respective arts and cultural heritage. American art museums have been generous in sharing works from their collections with their Italian counterparts and have also worked extensively across a wide range of activities to assist Italians in protecting their cultural heritage. In fact, for many of the large and mid-sized collecting museums, the number of works of art traveling to Italian museums exceeds the reverse. An integral part of the cultural exchanges between American museums and Italian museums are loans of works of art. In these exchanges, usually the American

PROGRAM NARRATIVE Many places in the Mediterranean can lay claim to being a “crossroads of cultures and civilizations,” but none with better justification than Sicily. For, 3,000 years, wave after wave of new cultures, ideas and artistic techniques have swept over the island, leaving in their wake temples, theaters, castles villages, and extraordinary works of art that together have earned Sicily the reputation of an “open-air museum.” Our itinerary demonstrates the importance of Sicily to Greek civilization in the great theaters at Syracuse and Taormina and in the Doric temples at Agrigento and Segesta. Roman remains mingle with the Greek in Syracuse, and the wealth of Imperial Rome is evident in the 3rd-century villa near Piazza Armerina.
