Sicily Vacations - Journey into Mediterranean History

Sicily Vacations - Journey into Mediterranean History | Sicily Vacations | Scoop.it
From blogs.getty.edu - August 15, 2013 5:02 PM
Medieval Sicily was a hotbed of political turmoil and artistic innovation.
Motorino Man's insight:

Sicilian history is so interesting because of its location at the crossroads of the Mediterranean. With so many invaders coming with different cultures the island inherited the best of each.  A journey to Sicily truly is a journey into the history of the Mediterranean. From the Ancient Greeks and Romans, to the Normans and Byzantines there is no shortage of artistic, architectural, and culural heritage to explore in Sicily.

Motorino Man's insight:

Of course the Italian reds from Tuscany, Umbria, and Northern Italy are more famous. Sicilan wines grown on the slopes of Mt Etna at a "height of around 300-1000 meters have a climate similar to Northern Italy. More and more people have started noticing similarity and comparing it favourably with Burgundy and many believe it to be the Burgundy of the Mediterranean"  When you are ready for a wine tour click http://italiantourism.us/sicily-tours/

The highlight of our walking tour of Palermo was the Cappella Palatina (Palatine Chapel).
Motorino Man's insight:

With the mix of cultures and its location there is no question the people living on Sicily are Sicilian first and then Italian.  They've seen their share of "globalists" coming to "help."  A sicily vacation is a lovely journey into history, culture, and culinary traditions.  For more information about traveling to Italy visit ItalianTourism.us http://italiantourism.us/sicily-tours/

Sicily, an island off its southern coast, is very much a part of Italy. Yet it remains a land unto itself and distinctly different from the mainland.

Islamic Isle? Sicily Tours are Vacations into Mediterranean History

Islamic Isle? Sicily Tours are Vacations into Mediterranean History | Sicily Vacations | Scoop.it
From www.weeklystandard.com - July 26, 2013 7:12 PM
A band of Muslim raiders sacked Rome in 846 a.d., plundering the city’s churches and getting clean away with their loot. They had come from Palermo, in Sicily, which had been in Muslim hands for 15 years.
Motorino Man's insight:

Sicily vacations are a journey into history. With its famous early Greek Temples, to the Norman Church in Monreale, one may forget that between the Greeks and Byzantines and the Normans the island was invaded by Muslims who took Palermo and even Syracuse.

Last summer while vacationing on the Italian coast of Cinque Terre, I had anchovies soaked in lemon juice that tasted nothing like their salted dried cousins.
Motorino Man's insight:

Sicily vacations are so interesting because of the mix of cultures on the island. The varied art, architecture, and culinary traditions are expressions of the various cultures that inhabited the island. I love this author's idea of presenting the islands history through recipes native to the provinces.
