グランミケーレのおすすめツーリングルート

The descent is especially fun :)

This staircase is a must-see. It connects the upper town with the lower town.

Stairway that has connected the old part of the city (lower) with the new part (upper) since 1600.

Admittedly, my encounter with the monument here in Vizzini revealed a gap in my knowledge, as I had never been familiar with either the person or the work of Giovanni Verga (1840 to 1922) before. The man honored here in his hometown with a beautiful statue and a museum is recognized by Wikipedia as "an Italian writer and one of the main representatives of Verismo, Italian naturalism. 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)."

magnificent, getting there by bike was epic, and the staircase??? majestic!

Patron saint of Militello is the SS. Savior. The celebration with the procession of the simulacrum through the streets of the town is on August 18th. For the octave a shorter procession is planned in front of the Mother Church

May 8th is the feast of the two patron saints of Grammichele: St. Michael the Archangel and St. Catherine of Alexandria. During the festival, the simulacra are carried in procession through the streets of the town together with the statue of the Madonna that precedes them.

The staircase of Santa Maria del Monte is illuminated every year by 4000 candles for two evenings, between 24 and 25 July on the occasion of the feast of the protector San Giacomo. Plays of light illuminate the 142 steps of the seventeenth-century Scala di Santa Maria del Monte, making its majolica tiles a true tapestry of fire. From www.Girasicilia.it
