It can be seen smoking and spewing from Catania and across the region, from the plane, and even from the sea, marking the landscape in a manner similar to Mount Fuji. But Sicily is especially about its people, the Sicilians, known for their hospitality and their spontaneous way of showing you the way, accompanying you, and sharing their love for the island. Here, local products, whether from the land or the sea, are showcased in a multitude of typical recipes that turn every meal into a true delight. In Sicily, the concept of "slow food" is even slower, more authentic, and more flavorful than in the rest of the country.
