Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but not, as yet, quite intelligent enough."-- Aldous Huxley, British writerLuigi Santos-Hammarlundnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065216.post-1152798601922008012006-07-13T14:50:00.000+01:002006-07-13T14:52:23.223+01:00Sicilia!Here are some of my photos from Sicily. In the next few days I'll post much more pictures, including ones from Agrigento (Valley of the Temples), Cefalu, Trapani, Egadi Islands and more views of Palermo, the capital. Sicily's history can be traced back more than 4,000 years. Palaeolithic tribes (as in the Island of Levanzo), Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans, Spaniards.
