The Sicily region
Why did Goethe write:"To have seen Italy without having seen Sicily is not to have seen Italy at all....the things that enchant you cannot be counted." Why did Homer call it: "the wonderful island of Helios, god of the sun?" Why did the ancients dream of it as "the land where everything grew without being sown"? Why did the Greek gods watch over Sicily? Why was it extremely desired by colonizers? Why did Archimedes invent weapons to defend this island? Come and visit us for the answer!
