Caltagirone and Piazza Armerina
There is a story behind every area which is also within the area:
you feel it as you walk through its streets laid with cobbles centuries earlier, at the sight of a church towering above the town squares, among the people bustling along the narrow streets.
It is the story of an entire community, recounted by the art that adorns its every corner and the culture that every tradition whispers to anyone who is ready to listen.
Explore the area, immerse yourself in the art and history.
