Agrigento's Valley of the Temples
A visitor's guide

 

Thanks to the many Sicilians who, every day and in every way, prove the cliched and often downright insulting stereotypes of their island untrue. Naming names.. thanks to.. the wonderful Michele Gallo, who made the ancient world come to life with his knowledge, wit and fortitute on one of the hottest days of the year....
