charts the art and history of Sicily over the centuries, covering its inhabitants, landscape, covering ancient history to the present day.

Few places in the world have experienced such an intense and eventful history as Sicily. Rocked by revolts and power-struggles, rejoicing in great splendour and freedoms, over thousands of years this small island has been a crossroads for many peoples, religions and cultures - and its melting-pot of influences has created a unique spirit of 'Sicilian-ness'. This book - with evocative photographs by Melo Minnella - attempts to capture the elusive spirit of Sicily, its inhabitants and its landscape, and offers a sweeping account of the island, from ancient history up to the present day.
