Scenes from the city's Piazza del Duomo, with the Orion fountain, its 12th century cathedral, the bell-tower with its daily 'show' at noon, and the world's biggest astronomical clock, plus a view of Stromboli, a volcano which has been erupting almost continuously for over 2,000 years. (July 2009)

  • I'm sorry for any irritation caused by the choice of that track. I was just looking for something associated with Sicily, and whilst that is the obvious choice, it's a nice piece of music(I think) which fits the rhythm of the pictures.

  • @Cornishpastyman1 Mafia was born in Palermo, not in eastern Sicily. Western Sicily was more feudal, backwards and archaic than east Sicily. Eastern Sicily has always been much more wealthy, forwards and innovative than Palermo.

  • @deepenhancer

    Thanks for clarifying this.

  • Was it really necessary to play the theme from "The Godfather"? We are always fighting the Mafia stereotype. Yes, my background is Italian, Carpinone and Messina.

    God Bless you all!
