ディリッロ湖のおすすめツーリングルート

From this road you have a good view of the landscape around Licodia.

Licodia Eubea is a small municipality perched on two hills in central-eastern Sicily, overlooking the Dirillo River valley. An ancient land of Greek origins (it is believed that the ancient colony of Euboea, founded by the Chalcidians in 650 BC, was located here), today it blends agricultural traditions, particularly the cultivation of table grapes, olives, and almonds, with a historic center rich in churches, medieval ruins, and typical Sicilian views.

His main works are the novels La Malavoglia (1881) and Mastro-Don Gesualdo (1889), as well as the short story collections Country Life (1880) and Peasant Novellas (1883)."
