Why do you need to see Taormina? Do you imagine what is revenge on Sicily? Not? And it is very simple! Look at the width of the alley and imagine that you go home on this alley, and in the niche of the house there is an enemy. Well, what are the chances to survive in the medieval Sicilian town? And now look at the width of the side street (it is considered broad). And finally, look at the main street of Taromine, a huge old Sicilian scale! The end of the street is already visible at her beginning! So, boring and trying not to come to each other on his feet, and Sicilians lived! You can read books as much as you like, but only in Tarromino you can feel truly medieval Sicily.

And in conclusion another photo. Sicilians are poor, it is well known. They go to such cars on joke, just there is no money to another at the owner. But poverty does not prevent them from keeping the beautiful mosaic right on the street. Does not prevent cleanliness on the street, peace and security. Probably because many, many generations lived in the city with very narrow alleys ...
