Palazzo Biscari is an 18th-century Baroque palace in the historic center of Catania, Sicily, and remains the city's most prominent privately owned historic residence. Built by the Paternò Castello family after the devastating 1693 earthquake, it is celebrated for its lavish interiors, monumental architecture, and continued role as a venue for guided tours, concerts, exhibitions, and cultural events.
At Sapio, Alessandro and Roberta work with produce from their farm and local producers, using each ingredient as fully as possible while keeping water waste and plastic use to a minimum. Their cooking seeks a distinctive sense of place—enriched by thoughtful outside influences yet rooted in Catania, between Etna’s fire and the Ionian Sea—and has earned the restaurant a Michelin star.

Visit to one of the most renowned wineries located on the slopes of Mount Etna, an unmissable opportunity to discover the authentic flavors of this volcanic land. The restless giant. We are in Linguaglossa on Mount Etna. A collection of unique and fascinating territories. Here, man interacts, often with difficulty, with a beautiful yet equally complicated environment. Here, everything is extreme, at the limit of vine cultivation. Between 500 and 1,400 meters above sea level, lie the areas with the most outstanding winemaking vocation, and the vineyards most representative of Etna's oenology. It is precisely these vineyards that are responsible for Sicily's oldest Controlled Designation of Origin, established in 1968.
Marco Nicolosi, as winemaker and production manager, continues to work with the estate’s heritage and the distinctive qualities of its volcanic wine-growing territory.
