… and Personal

Unlike the average travel book that covers places of interest in a particular country, this  book is written for people, whom you might say, are “close to the land.”  They want to know about the “people” who live in that land, the “people” who make it grow and thrive. The “people” that make you want to return time and again. 

And, so it was, as the author traveled about Sicily, he was questioned time and again by local citizens who witnessed him taking pictures and recording information, as to who he was, and why he was photographing their land?  Needless to say, they were proud to witness what was going on about them; someone wishing to tell others about their particular home town, places they are familiar with, and more.

Sicily is composed of nine (9) Provinces, which are equivalent to Counties or Parishes, and within each Province one will find many, many Comunes, or communities. You will find chapters on all of the Provinces and numerous Comunes within each featured in detail.  Dozens of photographs illustrate many of the places, peoples and sites in each area, which will hopefully tell the story of everything there is to know about Sicily.  Many are in beautiful color.

You’ll also find two chapters detailing many places of interest, places you will certainly want to visit, and a list of holidays of importance to the people in many of these comunes. Visit during these time periods, and you’ll certainly get to join in on the fun.
