Synopsis
- A stunning view of one of the most beautiful parts of Italy: Sicily, an island with a long history
Few places in the world have experienced such an intense and eventful history as Sicily. Rocked by revolts and power-struggles, rejoicing in great splendor and freedoms, over thousands of years this small island has been a crossroads for many peoples, religions and cultures - and its melting-pot of influences has created a unique spirit of 'Sicilian-ness'.
This book - with evocative photographs by Melo Minnella - attempts to capture the elusive spirit of Sicily, its inhabitants and its landscape, and offers a sweeping account of the island, from ancient history up to the present day.
