In Sicily it seems like the sun shines brighter, the shadows are deeper and darker, and life is simultaneously full of intense physical pleasures and bitter-sweet disappointments.
Overloaded with historic art treasures, undersupplied with infrastructure and half-crippled by corruption, Sicily possesses some confusing social topography. Visitors to the island will struggle to reconcile architectural beauty with modern squalor, artistic excellence with moral ambivalence, the rational with the purely sensual. If you can't accept contradictions, you won't understand Sicily.
