Viva Santa Rosalia! Last night I enjoyed an evening in Palermo celebrating the persistence of this city that has seen millenia of humanity on her streets. It was the 402nd Festino di Santa Rosalia. La Santuzza, as the locals call Rosalia, is the co-patroness here. In life she was an example of faith in her beliefs during uncertain times (She's very much like Saint Francis, having refused the wealth of her family in order to be devoted to social causes as inspired by Christ.). In death she inspired the citizens to stay the course of healing while they dealt with a devastating plague in 1624. Today, Rosalia inspires still - - for Palermo and us all to fight the disease of corruption. Viva Palermo! Viva Santa Rosalia!

Today's moment of beauty from Sicily: Cinzia's mamma helped us, make the macaroni during our cooking experience.

The mother church of Salemi was destroyed in the 1968 earthquakes. Today it is a public space and a constant reminder of how fragile life is.

We've been weaving through Sicily these past days. So much to report! Not much time to do it. But this evening at Donna Niì was delicious and beautiful. Grazie for a outstanding dinner!

When you are in the Neapolis Archaeological Park in Siracusa, there is more to see here than just the ancient Greek and Roman ruins. Pay attention too to the large pillar(s) that you’ll see in the Latomie del Paradiso on the way to The Ear of Dionysius cave. What exactly are these pillars? Well, think about the New York City subway. When in Manhattan, to take the trains (as we New Yorkers say), you go underground. You take stairs or an elevator and enter a whole other world of tunnels and train tracks and shops below. Meanwhile, above you is the bustling city with streets and cars and restaurants and … you get the idea. Well, that was true here too!

When you walk down the stairs and paths into the Latomie del Paradiso, or the Quarry of Paradise, you are descending into the ancient Siracusan underground. However, today, there’s no ceiling. No roof. No bustling city streets above ground. Get this: there was a bustling city until 1693! Archaeologists and historians will tell you that the massive 1693 earthquakes shook Siracusa and its surroundings so hard that the Neapolis (or New City) collapsed into the underground quarry. The pillar that you see pictured is what is left of the pillars that were keeping the above-ground city “afloat.” Look carefully at the top of the limestone pillar. Do you see an old house? That’s part of the old city that existed on top of the ancient limestone quarry. A ruin from the 1600s.

Now think about that for a moment.

I hope that shook you up a bit!

Now you know how massive the 1693 earthquakes were.

Isn't history cool?

May is my favorite time of year in Sicily. Exactly now! This is the sweet spot: from about 20 May to 7 June: The sun is warming up the air temperature (but not too much!), the crimson clover fields counter the green of the wheat fields, Etna's skies are clear each morning most of the days, and the turquoise sea is warming up enough to swim. So, if you are thinking of planning for 2027... Plan to come with me for Enchanting Sicily next May! Starting Sunday, you can follow this year's group to learn about the joys of traveling when we take care of all the details. This is living!

When I first came to Sicily (30 years ago!), I keep looking at the green hillsides and mountain-top villages from the autostrada wondering, "What's out there?" I wanted to see the ladies poking their heads out of their shutters, put my hiking boots on the dirt of in the wheat fields, and hear the fruit and vegetable vendor sing to local residents that he had the juiciest watermelon on the island. Now, since 2013, that's what we've been helping our clients do -- go off-the-beaten-path and experience the heart and soul of Sicily. Come with us, and together we'll discover undiscovered Sicily!
