Sicily Vacation Travel Video Guide

Travel video about destination Sicily in Italy.
Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean and is the most diverse region in Italy,a land of gods and natural forces and a place of ancient cultures. Throughout the history of Sicily there have been many battles, rulers, cultures and religions. Prior to Roman rule both the Greeks and the Carthagians fought against each other. Later came the Arabs and the Normans. Catania is Sicily’s second largest city and has been strongly influenced by earthquakes and also the volcanic activity of Mount Etna. Therefore only a few historical remnants have survived. However, after each disaster the city was rebuilt and the result is a Baroque city dominated by fascinating sights full of character and charm. A devastating earthquake in 1693 destroyed the original town of Noto and left it in ruins. Construction of the new town took almost a hundred years until at end of the eighteenth century most of its buildings had been rebuilt. In addition to the geometrical design of its streets the remarkable architectural harmony of the town has been created by much use of ochre-coloured sandstone. The privately-owned train, the Ferrovia Circumetnea, travels around Mount Etna from Catania to Riposto. A couple of kilometres outside Catania there are vast fertile fields. In the background is the mighty and over three thousand metre high Mount Etna, one of the most active and famous volcanoes in the world. Taormina is situated on a rock high above the Ionic Sea. The Teatro Greco was built out of the stone of Monte Tauro in the third century A.D. and five hundred years later it was enlarged by the Romans for gladiatorial battle. The old town ended at Porta Messina whose medieval palaces and villas have been preserved right up until the present day. A few kilometres from Palermo and set within a beautiful bay is Mondello sheltered by the slopes of Monte Pellegrino that contains a grotto, an altar and a pilgrims church, the Santuario Di Santa Rosalia. Here this fascinating journey comes to an end. Sicily is exquisite, an ancient island of both discovery and pleasure.

this is the only Sicily video which didn't cover the Mafia or their food, which is kinda refreshing just to talk about it's places & temples

[@tonynewman777]

I didn't have a problem with the music... Very nice video makes me wanna live there... I know I already love their food by the family that had come to our church when I was a child... Simply heavenly. The land is so beautiful.

super country

[@biggianthead17]

One of the very best travelogs I've seen about Sicily, however, the pronunciations throughout are abominable bearing little, if any, resemblance to the actual pronunciations. My eyes are very happy but my ears are hurting. But thank you for this... visually excellent and you covered almost all of Sicily. Great. Next time, go back to those major cities but instead cover the little towns within the province such as Buscemi and Buccheri and Palazzolo Acreide in the province of Siracusa (Syracuse). It would be awesome. Thank you again.

Tone down the background music a little, takes over your voice.

Music too loud

[@gaetanoguglielmino3210]

Sesto commento: a Catania sovrasta l'Etna , il vulcano più grande d'Europa

[@darticulate8751]

Terrible music accompaniment, pity!
