"To have seen Italy without having seen Sicily is not to have seen Italy at all, for Sicily is the clue to everything." Goethe And who are we to disagree with Goethe! So when we decided to dedicate each month to a specific part of Italy, Sicily seemed like the right region to start from. Moreover, timing allowed us to begin this new project under the good auspices of 'la Santa' since the first week of February is dedicated to the celebration of Saint Agatha in Catania, with one of the most impressive religious processions in the world. If Sicily is not currently on top of your "places to visit in Italy" list right now, it will probably be by the end of the month! We will be publishing fascinating stories about Sicily and highlighting amazing locations, tours and experiences that will make Sicily a definite must. In other news, the final phase of ITALY Magazine Blogger Awards has just started! We had hundreds of submissions and after a couple of late nights we whittled them down to some exceptional blogs and blog stories. The shortlists are out and you can now vote for your favorite Italy blogs! We hope you will help us in selecting and promoting the very best writing about Italy!
