Petralia Soprana (Sicily)

Petralia Soprana is a town in the Province of Palermo, in the Italian region Sicily. It sets on the slopes of the Madonie mountains. The town plan is typical of those that originally developed around a medieval castle - the upper part of Petralia consists of the oldest neighbourhoods, called Pusterna and Carmine, which follow their medieval plan, and below are the more modern parts of the town that were added as the town grew during the 17th and 18th centuries. The most important monument is the Cathedral, dedicated to the Holy Patrons Peter and Paul. Petralia Soprana has been named one of Italy's prettiest villages.

@sharon_5 asks:

We have bought a house in Sicily and i have been told we need to replace our roof tiles because of a law coming in.  i have searched the internet and cant find a law, so wondered if anyone could help me.  Could it be that we have asbestos roof tiles?  

@lucydovi asks:

By succession law, we inherited a house. Our names are on the catasta. I want to sell my portion. Can I do so without getting my two sisters involved?

@zuri22780 asks:

Hi! This may be a strange question but I am looking for art classes or workshops in Italy specifically in the Catania or Palermo area of Sicily. I will be staying there for the month of January and I've had a hard time finding any schools that offer more short term classes or workshops.
