Synopsis

Overlooked by mount Etna - the tallest volcano in Europe - Sicily, the largest island of the Mediterranean, has always aroused interest and desire because of its strategic position and the wealth of fertile land. Over the centuries, Sicily has come under various rulers and has had a colorful history. It has been Carthaginian, Greek, Roman, Norman, Byzantine and now Italian. It is a model of architectural diversity and cosmopolitanism, with Roman villas, baroque palaces, medieval castles and Islamic vestiges. Through Sicilian architecture, landscapes as well as scenes from daily life, this book proudly unveils the many facets of Sicily. Fabrice Moireau spent weeks exploring the landscapes of Sicily with his palette and brushes; he beautifully depicts this land of mountains and lava, of sand and grapevines.
