Sicilian Travel designer If you want to discover one of the best Mediterranean island, you must visit Sicily. By Federica Belfiore, Sicilian travel designer expert. Why go? (J.W.Goethe)

Sicily has been shaped by waves of conquest and settlement by different peoples over 4,000 years. Since the 8th century BC, Phoenician, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs and Normans all settled or invaded the island, lured by its fertile lands and strategic location. Over time, this series of conquests forged a cultural identity unlike any other. Discover an island with a cosmopolitan history and

identity – a place where the unique mix of peoples gave rise to an extraordinary cultural flowering. The art and objects they produced are some of the most beautiful and important in the history of the Mediterranean. An insider's guide to Sicily, featuring the island's best hotels, restaurants, bars, shops, attractions and things to do, including how to travel there and around. Please contact me on the email below or via Skype. Sicily has long been a crossroads and crucible of Mediterranean culture, and the island today is a fascinating palimpsest in which Greek temples, Norman churches and Baroque palazzos emerge from the rich fabric. But it also has natural wonders aplenty, from the smoking craters of Mount Etna to the still relatively undiscovered beaches of the southern coast. With parts of the island on the same latitude as the North African coast, Sicily has a mild climate that makes it an attractive destination for much of the year: spring and autumn are sheer delight and though high summer (July, August) temperatures really do soar, sea breezes in coastal areas take the edge off the heat. When to go:

Bear in mind that Sicily has a much longer warm-weather season than northern and central Italy. If you’re lucky, it’s possible to sunbathe and swim in the sea well into November, and spring starts early: in many areas, the ground is carpeted with wild flowers at the end of February. Where to go:

You’re spoiled for choice: the historic cities of Palermo, Catania and Siracusa, the Etna region with its volcanic landscapes, fertile wine country and picture-perfect Taormina; Ragusa, Modica and the other honey-hued Baroque towns of the south; the Greek temples of Agrigento, Selinunte and Segesta; Roman sites like Piazza Armerina, miles of sandy beaches and secret rocky coves. And don’t get me started on the food – from the couscous of Trapani to the pastries of Noto, it’s a destination in itself. "To have seen Italy without having seen Sicily is not to have seen Italy at all, for Sicily is the clue to everything."

Una foto attesa da una vita. 🌕✨

Questa Luna è stata oggetto di studio, attesa con fervore, e ogni dettaglio calcolato con precisione: l'allineamento perfetto, l'ora esatta e la posizione ideale.
Sarebbe dovuta apparire alle 17:29, ma come ogni bella Donna, ha deciso di farsi attendere un po'. A quell'ora, nulla si vedeva ancora nel cielo, e ho iniziato a pensare di aver commesso un errore nei calcoli. E infatti così è stato.

Dopo quasi un'ora di attesa, stavo per smontare tutto, quando è arrivato il proprietario del cancello di fronte al quale mi ero posizionato per catturare quel momento unico. Ho fatto qualche passo a sinistra per farlo passare, e proprio in quell'istante, eccola lì, in tutta la sua magnificenza. Sembrava quasi stesse aspettando proprio me, mentre io ero lì in attesa di lei.

Mi è scesa una lacrimuccia sulla pelle d'oca, forse per il freddo, forse per l'emozione 🥺
Era bella, anzi bellissima, come ogni Donna 🥰

E così, alla fine, il Tempio della Concordia ha fatto eco alla Luna della Concordia ❤️
Un istante magico immortalato per sempre.
