Sicily is much more than an island. Its more than 25,000 km2 encompasses the most varied scenery. Hidden coves inviting peace and volcanoes, such as Etna, that periodically awaken with the sounds of war. Here, Palermo occupies a privileged position. An old city of solemn beauty; a place of business, of revolutionaries, of splendid palaces. Its strategic location has meant that, for centuries, it was occupied by the most varied of cultures, leaving as their testimony an impressive artistic and cultural heritage which includes its delicious gastronomy. With the aroma of wild fennel and family traditions, the Sicilian cuisine brings its very own tempting flavours to the table.
