Sciacca (Sicily)

Sciacca is a town in the province of Agrigento on the southwestern coast of Sicily, southern Italy. It has views of the Mediterranean Sea. On the site of the Roman Thermae Selinuntinae, it has been, from antiquity, a health resort with hot sulfur springs. The coastal town has a modern appearance, but notable older structures include the town walls (1336; rebuilt c. 1550), the ruined castle of Luna, the 14th-century Palazzo Steripinto, and the 14th- and 15th-century Church of Santa Margherita.

A Sicilian classic! The outer sesame seed crunch of these cookies goes oh-so-well with the satisfying moist lemony center.

@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.

@bekah1975 asks:

Hello everyone- I have just purchased my first home in Modica but it is completely unfurnished. Kitchen needs to be installed, furniture and appliances, etc. would anyone have a recommendation for an English speaking interior decorator?

@alongianna asks:

I have a house in Sicily which I inherited from my parents and it is need of some work. When I contacted a contractor for a quotation I was given a price but told that there are government grants available which would pay 60/70% of the repairs.
