  • 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.

  • SICILIA in MG 2015
    Sicilia in MG - La Targa Florio After the last reconnaissance trip to Sicily the programme has now been finalized. The second half of June has been chosen for the event. This may seem the beginning of the summer, but considering the climate of Sicily this is really full summer there. We will be able to fully enjoy the sea and the beach. Much time in the programme is going to be dedicated to those elements and we will stay four nights each at two hotels directly on the seaside. The first near Cefalù and the second near Marina Ragusa and near the locations (Scicli, Punta Secca…) where the Commissario Montalbano movies were produced. We will obviously visit these locations. There will be the possibility to depart from two different ports with modern and comfortable ferries “Grandi Navi Veloci” www.gnv.it: Genoa for those who arrive from northern Italy and abroad and Naples for the participants arriving from central and southern Italy. Having in mind the success of the pre-meeting that Wim Jetten organized in 2013 prior to the Sardinia event there are plans to organize a similar pre-meeting next year. Whoever is interested may participate in a pre- meeting in Umbria organized by Piero Fusaroli, starting from Saturday June 13 2015. Of course one may start to participate in the pre-meeting any day between the Saturday the 13th and Thursday the 18th of June, the day of departure to Sicily. In this way particularly foreign participants can benefit to maximum extent of their long journey to Italy and enjoy the unique cultural and scenic beauty of this area.

  • Meredith College Travel Letter Sicily, Italy
    Dear Friends of Meredith Travel, I just spent a most enjoyable morning. In preparation for writing this letter about our September 25-October 7, 2018, tour of Sicily, I reviewed my photographs from the trip I made there this past summer. I simply can’t wait to go back! Betty describes southern Italy as Italy to the 3rd power—older, grander, and more richly complex. Sicily, we agree, is Italy to the 10th power, at least. It was, by far, the most exotic version of our favorite country that I have yet to encounter, made so by its location and history, which includes a dizzying mix of cultures. It was Greek far longer than it has been Italian. It was Arab. Norman. Swabian. Aragonese. Austrian. Even Bourbon French! All left their mark. And finally, and relatively recently (1860), the Risorgimento fought it into being part of unified Italy. The food, the architecture, and customs can best be understood by experiencing them all firsthand, so without further ado, I would like to summarize our itinerary for you. Join me now as we vicariously tour Sicily together. Day 1: Sept. 25 (Tues) Departure. We depart the U.S. to arrive the next day in Palermo, the capital of the autonomous region of Sicily. Day 2: Sept. 26 (Wed) Palermo. Palermo is a city of 700,000, by far the largest on the island, with an ancient historic city center with structures representing the panorama of its past. After a quick driving tour to orient us to the city, we stop, drop bags at the hotel, and head out to see perhaps the most perfect medieval buildings in the world, the Norman Palace and Palatine Chapel, the latter known for its extraordinary mosaics designed in such a way that the aesthetics of the Arab, Jewish, and Norman artisans are all incorporated.

  • SELF GUIDED WALKING TOUR from the MADONIE MOUNTAINS to the COAST Your Journey Begins in the Centre of Sicily, and Takes You Acro
    SELF GUIDED WALKING TOUR FROM THE MADONIE MOUNTAINS TO THE COAST Your journey begins in the centre of Sicily, and takes you across the Madonie Mountains, passing ancient oak and maple trees as old as 800 years. You travel along a Roman road following in the footsteps of those who once used it as a trade route to the coast. As you emerge from the forests, you are met with breathtaking views of the coastline across to the rock of Cefalù and the Aeolian Islands, where you descend through olive groves and fruit orchards using an old mule track, into the village of Sant'Ambrogio. The level of activity is moderate with some short strenuous uphill sections. The paths are mostly unmarked but easy to follow using the descriptions, maps and GPS coordinates provided. On request the tour can be shortened by 1 or 2 days. Day 1: Transfer from Catania or Palermo airport to Gangi Overnight: Villa Raino, a restored Baronial villa, dating back to the 1700s, situated in a tranquil valley behind Gangi. www.villaraino.it Dinner included (with house wine). Day 2: Gangi - Geraci Siculo From Villa Raino you walk up an ancient drover’s road, before descending into a valley using the old trade route. You cross a Roman bridge and pass rugged scenery by walking on an ancient mule track which leads up to the town of Geraci Siculo and the ruins of the 11th century Saracen castle. Here you have time to wander and explore the town before being driven to Gangi, the 2015 winner of the “Borgo Più Bello d’Italia”, (the most beautiful village in Italy), known for its artistic qualities, culture, local handicrafts and wonderful cuisine.

  • Historical View of the Damage Caused by the 1693 Catania Earthquake and the Reconstruction Activities
    Disaster Management and Human Health Risk 323 Historical view of the damage caused by the 1693 Catania earthquake and the reconstruction activities D. Ligresti1 & S. Grasso2 1Department of Political Studies, University of Catania, Italy 2Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Catania, Italy Abstract Eastern Sicily (Italy) is one of the areas at highest seismic risk in Europe, and its long history (2700 years from the Greek settlements to the present) enables scientists to access a vast amount of data related to geophysical and geotechnical characteristics, both complex and diverse relationships that are established over time between the disaster and the human communities that will suffer. The recognition of change, or the lack of change, that repeated catastrophic events in an area makes to the culture (science, technical, religious, administrative) and the attitudes of groups of people who remain, are the basic elements for building a complex model to understand the catastrophic phenomenon, which combine different disciplines and specializations, in order to compare experiences in different areas and at different times. The methodological problem, of which scientists who collaborate on the study of disasters have long been aware, is to connect the earthquake with the historical and anthropological understanding of the earthquake, to develop a “culture of earthquakes” that operates in the direction of the scientific organization of cities and housing in seismic features. The aim of this paper is to highlight some of these “elements” through the observation of historical earthquakes in south-eastern Sicily, and particularly in Catania during the catastrophic events of 9 and 11 January 1693, with the goal of providing a key to the cultural and social situations that are also present.

  • CORE of SICILY 8 Days to Discover a Gem of History and Nature
    CORE OF SICILY 8 days to discover a gem of history and nature D01: ARRIVAL TO CATANIA Catania is Sicily’s second main city for its population and cultural richness. The population survived through the Greeks deportation, the Carthaginians and the stream of lava from Mount Etna. Nowadays Piazza del Duomo, Via Etnea and many of the historical buildings has heightened Catania’s charme. Many structures are built from three-centuries old lava (the black buildings) which, combined with baroque architecture, treats the city a singular darken twisted beauty. Overnight in Catania. D02: ETNA VOLCAN (SOFT TREKKING UP TO CRATER GUIDED ENVIRONMENTAL VISIT) - SIRACUSA Mount Etna is the major and highest vulcano in Europe. Only the cone of the crater rises to 11000 feet above sea level. Plato sailed to Sicily just to catch a glimpse of it in 387 BC. Etna is still an active vulcano and has erupted a dozen times in the past 30 years and more, most spectacularly in 1971, 1982, 2001, 2002 and 2005. Fumes from the top of the vulcano are always a constant companion of Catanese’s days. A trip nearby of the crater depends on Mount Etna’s temperament, but generally it's possible to walk and enjoy this most unique sublime force of nature. Overnight in Siracusa D03: SIRACUSA Syracuse is a jewel of Sicily. Astonishing and wonderful, the great ancient capital of Western civilization at the Greek times was founded in 734 BC. Soon it was the major city of Sicily to compete against Athens in beauty, splendor and power.
