Day 1: Arrival to Vizzini and accommodation at Il Campanile, a charming rural house run by Antonio Terlato, who will make you feel at home. After tasting a typical Sicilian lunch , we invite you to discover the ancient village of Vizzini , a village where the famous novelist Giovanni Verga spent his life. Enjoy a guided walk through its streets, churches and the sites where Verga set the scenes of his novellas. The Museum “Museo Immaginario Verghiano” is a must: it gives you an authentic and unique impression of Sicily in the old days and everything about Giovanni Verga, a really treasure in an old palazzo in the middles of Vizzini. It’s a place to visit, a place of memory that exceptionally combines literary identity and historical reality, sometimes confusing them, as Verga himself loved to do. A local dinner awaits you to end the day in a Sicilian traditional pub.

Day 2: Start the day with a delicious breakfast buffet and get ready to be a "Pizzaiolo". Enjoy a fun activity of bread baking learning how to bake artisanal bread as well as homemade pizzas with fresh tomato sauce, baked in a wood-fire oven. You’ll meet Antonio, the local host, who will welcome you in a place surrounded by amazing nature sounds and a beautiful view. At the end of the activity: pizza for lunch!
In the afternoon, a guided workshop in Vizzini with our experienced local host, Gianluca, will show you the craft distilling process in a traditional small distillery to learn to identify different kind of native plants and do a liquor tasting, an inimitable flavor with a magical Sicilian touch! After that amazing experience, we’ll look for a charming corner to enjoy a delicious snack: local and tasty marmalade made from seasonal local fresh fruits and local cheese, an amazing combination. In the evening you’ll taste a delicious traditional 3 course menu at Il Campanile.

Day 3: Breakfast Buffet and Departure or optional guided tour at Piazza Armerina and Vila Romana del Casale. The Villa Romana del Casale reigns in Piazza Armerina with its splendid mosaics and is one of the most famous monuments in Sicily. The remains of this building are located 4 km from Piazza Armerina, a small town in the Sicilian hinterland. Since 1997, Villa Romana del Casale has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
