Sicily

Sicily is a region that I have loved since first visiting in 2014. No other part of Italy fuses so many cultures together, and with such a unique personality, visitors should (almost) consider this island as a seperate country. Use the guides on this page to plan your trip to Sicily, using my direct and personal experiences to make the most of whatever time you have in what is one of my favourite places in the world.

All of Sicily is a dimension of the imagination...

About The Italian Way

After visiting Italy for the first time in 2013, I’ve explored all 20 regions (and the Vatican, San Marino), lived in Veneto (2019-2021) and Rome (2021-present day), and have worked with Italian businesses from Venice to Naples and beyond.
Alongside my partner Sara I’ve spent the last decade getting to know the different sides of Italy and Italian life – find out more here:
