The Mediterranean’s largest island is a crossroad, the key between East and West and a ‘Middle Land’ between north and south. Throughout history Sicily has long been a coveted prize to all that sought to land, claim and prosper on it, all drawn to its fecund natural resources and geographical location within the wider Mediterranean. Sicily, both ancient and modern, is a kaleidoscope of colour, struggle and identity seared into its art and architecture and its customs and cuisine. We shall explore these facets and more from Palermo in the west and Syracuse in the east in the warm Sicilian autumn.
