Testo in italiano

We are in Marina di Ragusa in the eastern part of Sicily, a fantastic place, and a fantastic day.

Let’s go!

We are in the alleys of the town with the smell of the sea that surrounds us.

What a beautiful stone house with blue doors!

The palm trees and the sea: well, yes, we are in Sicily.

Uhmmm … a cannon!

Pirates, you are warned!

Splendid Tip

In the past Sicily was often attacked by pirates of which the most famous of all was the feared Barbarossa!

For this reason, the entire coastline of the island was supplied, of control towers and cannons, especially in the 16th century.

As soon as the guardians of the tower spotted the pirates in the distance, they immediately lit fires that warned the nearby towers, and in less than a day the whole island was alerted  this way.
