Piazza Armerina

Incredibly intact and vast is the only way to describe the mosaics at Casa Romana located just outside the town of Piazza Armerina. The standout mosaics were the 10 bikini girls, a cyclops scene, scenes of animals and fruit including figs.
Lunch was at the beautiful scenic Agriturismo Gigliotto not far from Enna (San Michele di Gazaria). Loved the antipasti of eggplant capponata, fritatta, sweet capsicum, chickpea ball, then the garlic rosemary roast chicken and fried ricotta for dessert.
Back to Palermo for shopping round the pedestrian only Via Maqueda down to Quatro Canti. A lot of cute shops with pommegranite and oranges, chefs making pasta in the windows, cannolis and gelati shops. Light dinner of antipasto and Aperol Spritz followed by cannoli with glace orange and almond biscotti. Palermo does grow on you.Read more
