리코디아 에우베아 최고의 사이클링 경로

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.

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)."

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.

Prince Carlo Maria Carafa was the founder of Grammichele. The works began in April 1693 and the city was built 2km south of Occhiolà, the old town destroyed by the earthquake

Caltagirone ('Cartaggiruni' in dialect), is a precious jewel in the heart of Sicily. Famous for its traditional ceramic production, it represents a crucial agricultural and tourist centre. Its historic center, embellished with late Baroque style, was recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2002. In addition to ceramics, the city boasts magnificent religious architecture such as the Cathedral Basilica of San Giuliano and the Sanctuary of the Holy Crucifix. The 'carruggi' of Caltargirone add a touch of uniqueness, testifying to the rich history and culture of this fascinating Sicilian city.
