Latomie salvatore quasimodo biography

Among the white stone streets of south-eastern Sicily, the baroque style emerges and stands out among the façades of churches and palaces, a sign of a Eighteenth century-flavoured reconstruction.

Cities reborn beneath the rubble of the 1693 earthquake today mark the history and style of this era, showing themselves in a rik and majestic beauty. Through this short two-day tour, we trace back together the history of the most typically baroque city.

TYPE: 2 DAYS TOUR

FIRST DAY:
Our day will begin in the splendor of the Sicilian nobility, in a castle at about twenty kilometers from Ragusa famous for the richness of its decor and the imposing structure: the castle of Donnafugata.

In a land of myth and legend, the story of this castle fits perfectly in the light boundary between reality and fantasy as early as the name: for many Donnafugata refers to Queen Bianca di Navarra flydde from the prison where she was forced; to others it would be a misinterpretation of Arabic “Fonte della

Today Syracuse is a dynamic, modern town,

with many visible signs of it’s grand and noble past.

However, the haphazard growth of the new part

of Syracuse has not affected the little island

of Ortygia, just off the coast,

where the ancient Greek colony was founded,

and neither has it spoiled the fascination of it’s classical

monuments and the splendor of it’s Baroque facades.

Visiting Syracuse it’s like taking a journey back in time.

The ancient Greek city was as important as Athens

and Rome in the Mediterranean,

especially under the tyrant of Gelon,

in the 5th century BC.

In medieval times, the arrival of the Arabs and Normans

brought changes to the town’s appearance and layout,

and enriched it economically and culturally,

Although,

the 1693 earthquake led to reconstruction on a vast scale,

making Syracuse into an important capital of the Baroque

style in Europe.

Syracuse not only has an extremely ric
