The Sicilian Triangle is the labor of love of an octogenarian, who reminisces over his native land-that oft-maligned "Island of the Sun." He is captivated by the charm of its cities, the warmth of its people and the numerous archaeological wonders.
The Sicilian Triangle - enriched by photographs - highlights the contributions made by the different civilizations to the island over the centuries: Greek, Carthaginian, Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Spanish, French and other foreign invaders. "The land was occupied," the author states, "but not the unconquerable spirit of its people, who learned to endure, sustained through the centuries by cultures that have taught them how to survive through pain, patience and suffering.
