Join Richard Martin and Sicily resource
guide Elisa Paloschi on a 10-day photographic experience
of Sicily.
At the centre of the Mediterranean, but on the periphery of
Europe lays the island of Sicily. With an exotic appeal that
sets it apart from mainland Italy, Sicily has long been known
as a "melting pot" of ancient cultures and peoples.
Sixteen foreign dominations have touched, changed and marked
the Sicilian soul. First the Greeks and the Romans, then the
Arabs and Normans, and finally, the French, Spanish and Italians,
all of them contributing to an unparalleled historical legacy.
The conquerors have left, not only an abundance of art, architecture
and archaeological remains, but have transformed the landscape,
fashioned the cultural eccentricities, influenced the mixed
appearance of the inhabitants and shaped the social attitudes
unique to Sicily and the Sicilians.
Immerse yourself in the photographic wonderland known as
Sicily. Discover the Island’s social and cultural and
geographical history through photography. Explore Sicily’s
diverse lands, cities and seas.
But photography isn’t everything. Visit Siracusa and
the Island of Ortigia. Discover the beauty of the Iblea mountain
range and the small towns perched on stone. Walk through the
Baroque town of Noto, climb Mount Etna, visit a fishing village
and view artisans at work. Explore Palermo's ancient markets
and the Arab district with winding cobble streets.
"I highly recommend that you take
advantage of Richard’s willingness to share his passion,
enthusiasm and talent for making photographs and of Elisa’s
first hand knowledge and love of Sicily, the people, it's
culture and it’s history."
Gillian LIttle, 2005 Participant.
