Testimonials

Hi Michele! I want you to know that all of us on the tour think highly of Salvo, you and Sicily TravelNet. I will be certain to recommend your tours to other cruisers on a website for cruisers that I visit a lot.

Thanks again for all the help you gave us in planning this tour. We hope to return to Sicily and tour with you again because there's still so much to see.

We will start the tour at the beautiful Pretoria Square with its marble post-Renaissance fountain, which was brought over from Tuscany in 644 pieces. Then we will visit the 15th century Palazzo Abatellis which houses the Regional Art Gallery, famous for Antonello da Messina's painting of the "Annunciation". Here you will also see paintings and sculptures that go from the 10th century Arab period to the pre-Baroque period, including many Spanish and Flemish Renaissance paintings. Nearby is the 15th century Church of Santa Maria delle Catene considered a true jewel of the Gothic-Catalan style still common during the Renaissance in Palermo. We will end the tour at the Church of San Giorgio built in the austere post-Renaissance style by the Genovese merchants living here during the 15th and 16th centuries.
