Since 2015 I have been working as a tour leader, organizing tours in Sicily and Southern Italy: initially for groups of Spanish and Italian tourists, in the last three years for the Latin American market (Argentines, Brazilians, Uruguayans, etc.). Devourer of history and archeology books since I was little, I am passionate about Mediterranean art and culture. Proud of my Sicilian roots, I love to convey to travelers my love and passion for a unique land, Sicily.
Do you want to know an unprecedented Catania?
In this unique and original tour, we will walk through the streets less traveled by tourists and weave the history of the monuments to the most outstanding historical facts of the second largest city in Sicily.
Rebuilt more than seven times , after eruptions, wars and earthquakes, Catania has managed to be reborn, like a phoenix , more beautiful than ever.
Between imposing and sumptuous buildings, we will discover the history of the Sicilian Baroque , an expression of the return to life, the joy of living and overcoming the horror of the catastrophic earthquake of 1693 .
We will learn the history of Águeda , patron saint of the city, and Vincenzo Bellini, the greatest exponent of Italian "bel canto".
We will get to know the vestiges of its medieval past , and also the heritage of its Greco- Roman origins .
The explanation will be enriched with anecdotes about popular traditions and customs, legends and myths, Sicilian lifestyle, etc.
For all this the suggested price is €12 per person. If this makes you hesitate, take a look at the opinions! (Keep in mind that we pay a commission for each reservation, which we have to deduct from your tip).
