Sicilia. L'isola-Sicily. The island.

"I have been told that if you want to understand the island of Sicily at all, you must climb the volcano--to tread the hard rock for yourself." It is from Mount Etna, the great heart of fire that beats within Sicily, that this unusual guidebook begins discovering a land of exceptional beauty. It is a suggestive journey made of words and images that vividly recalls colours, life, and the thousand-year-old history of the diverse cultures of this triangle of land located in the middle of the Mediterranean.
