World war ii world war 2 villas in Sicily Palermo Sicily travel tourist information
Planning to visit Sicily: the biggest island of the Mediterranean Sea with its now top 5 million inhabitants? If you go, consider visiting Palermo Sicily. Palermo is the capital of Sicily. Did you know that after World War II Sicily became an independent region from the boot-figured Italia with the power to rule itself? But during World War 2, parts of the island suffered devastation during the Allied Invasion. Even though it gained its independence, the Italian Mafia has deterred any improvements. Even so, you can find 3,000 years of history stored in this unique cultural setting with its live opened-street markets and the smell and vivid sights of balls of mozzarella and cured cuts of salami, pepperoni, finocchiona, and sopressata. You must try their Sicilian Pizza! And Sicilians don't use the typical mozzarella cheese on their pizzas as we do in America. Instead, large pieces of pecorino cheese and anchovies are blended into the dough, so the ingredients are not placed on top of the pizza, as we are accustomed to do so!!!
Enough about food for now!!! Just so you know, wikipedia.com can offer you a detailed description of Palermo: its history, its major visiting sights, their patron saints such as Santa Rosalia, and the best time to visit according to your climate preference. If you are visually inclined like myself, wikipedia.com also offers a colourful set of photographs so that you can better admire the architectural beauty of this capital. For more tourist information, yahoo travel offers a quick ¨Top 10 Thing To Do¨ List for Palermo.
If you plan to travel to Sicily, you may consider staying at some villas. Casa Giudilta Palermo Central, Villa Igiea Hilton Palermo, and La Cuba (a palace with some Arabic architectural influences) are some of the villas in Sicily.
So, what are you waiting for? Come to Palermo Sicily and experience true, authentic Italian culture! But just remember to stay safe; don’t get into any trouble, and I hope your stay in Palermo is an enjoyable one! Arriverderci for now!!!
