5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully Informative, August 30, 2000
This review is from: Sicily: A Complete Guide to the Island, Its Towns, Monuments, and Incomparable Landscapes (Heritage Guides) (Paperback)
This guide is extremely helpful in planning a trip to Sicily. It is also an excellent source of information for anyone interested in the beautiful island and its culture.

Many already popular attractions are covered as well as some lesser known ones. For a traveler seeking to get off the "beaten path" this guide will offer some good ideas on where to find less popular, but equally beautiful, areas of the island.

The extensive history of the island and its towns will appeal to history buffs and make the trip much more interesting.

This guide is a wonderful addition to any Sicily lover's library. Through its fascinating text and pictures, a new appreciation for this culturally rich island will be formed.

First Sentence:
The traditional image of Palermo (elev. 14 m., pop. 698,556; maps on pages 26-27 and 30-31), set amidst the greenery of vast citrus groves at the foot of the distinctive promontory of Monte Pellegrino, celebrated by view painters and etchers of the 18th and 19th c., has collided with the conditions of the 20th c., and with the changes brought about by the considerable growth of the city, which has historically played the role of "capital," and even more serious, the speculative growth that ever since the end of WWII has played a fundamental role in the development of the modern city and the equilibrium of the entire territorial system. Read the first page
