Region of Sicily
On a crossroads in the Mediterranean, part of Europe and Africa, yet belonging to neither, Sicily as tramped across by half the ancient civilized world. As conquerors came and went, they left behind a rich and varied cultural deposit. This has resulted in a quirky mixture in almost every aspect of the local vernacular form language, customs and cooking to art and most notably, the diverse architecture of this island.
