Take a pilgrimage through the heart of Sicily along the Magna Via Francigena, an ancient coast-to-coast route recently revived by locals.

Lakes are dry and fields are scorched by heat in Sicily, but water is still gushing copiously for tourists.

As the COVID-19 vaccine continues to be administered around the world, Sicily is working on its plan to bring the region back to economic health and well-being via tourism.
