In search of one of Sicily’s most hidden gems? Look no further than the city of Syracuse. This weekend I read Tara Isabella Burton’s article from the Wall Street Journal, highlighting the unique beauty and rich history of the Sicilian City.
Each year, the beachside town hosts a theater festival, featuring ancient plays with an Italian flair. The entire city makes its visitors feel as if they are to be transported back in time at any minute. It is only an hour from the Catania airport, yet very few are aware of the beautiful sights and delicious restaurants with fresh ingredients found within the city itself.
Small cities throughout Italy provide travelers with an intimate connection to the history, culture, and traditions that are uniquely found in them. Burton boasts that travelers to Italy can find all they are looking for in Italy in the “small infinitely walkable space” of Syracuse.
While major cities are important when traveling to a new country, especially Italy, it is often these smaller cities, like Syracuse, that travelers leave feeling the most connected to. There is a friendly, close knit, feel that comes with visiting small cities where travelers are often welcomed with open arms as if they were on of the city’s own.
At Barabino & Partners, we find it critical to highlight regions and cities one may never get to experience, even if they make it to Italy. That’s why we put our clients’ stories at the center of our work.
