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.

Shugg Barbeito | | We
will start at Piazza Pretoria with its beautiful Renaissance fountain originally
built for a villa near Florence: a piece of 16th century Tuscany in the center
of an Arab-Norman city. Nearby is the Church of La Martorana where 12th
century severe Norman architecture clashes with the frivolities of the Baroque
style. Then on to the Capuchin Catacombs where you will be shocked by a
macabre sight: 8,000 mummified bodies dressed in their best Sunday clothes and
propped up against the walls! Next, we'll move on to the Zisa Castle commissioned
by the Norman King William I, but built by his Muslim architects who used all
their Middle-Eastern know-how. In the afternoon, we'll drive to the town of Bagheria
known for its Baroque villas. We will visit the most unusual one built by
the Prince of Palagonia who was fascinated with monsters and mirrors. | | Tour
