| About MYplaceinSICILY |
| MYplaceinSICILY was created by Luca Schillaci, a freelance guide in the east of Sicily and a Sicilian in the first place. This Website provides travellers with all the information they may need to organize a journey to Sicily: general facts, tips on how to move around, places to visit, a driving and guiding service tailored on travellers' needs. Family-run self-catering accomodation is also promoted on this site. The emphasis is on pictures rather than on texts, as they convey a more direct feeling of what can be experienced in Sicily |
| This is not a commercial Website or a comprehensive guide for tourists: a special point of view on Sicily is featured here which some may not find "palatable". MYplaceinSICILY does not want to lure people in, does not cater for mass tourism and does not sell package tours: what it does is offering suggestions, inputting ideas and provide travellers with the means for self-building their journey to Sicily or their own point of view on Sicily. Mission will be fully accomplished if this Website also helps a) companies to develop quality products exploiting the full potential that Sicily has b) local professionals to invent creative ways of doing their job in Sicily |

| Relying on local professionals is a formidable tool to make the best of your journey to Sicily or to develop quality products focused on Sicily. This island is a vast hoard of treasures, where any civilization in the history of the western world has stashed something valuable. You can buy an expensive package tour organized by a leading tour operator in your country and be shown the hoard from the outside: you will watch fine carvings, glittering gildings and elaborate decorations, but you will not see Sicily. If you want to open that hoard and be acquainted with the very soul of this island, you need a Sicilian: we are the only ones holding the right key |
