A magical tiny village in Sicily, near Partinico

Описание: #partinico #oldvillages #gaudi

Dear Sicily Lover,

in this episode we explored the area of Partinico (province of Palermo) to show you one of the most picturesque villages in Sicily!
Borgo Parrini dates back to the 15th century. It was built by the Jesuits and has been an important center for wine production in the 18th century when 300 people worked there.
After WW2 the village was abandoned. But in the last years some local people decided to restore the houses and fill them with art and beauty.
Nowadays only 7 families live there and so Borgo Parrini is one of the smallest villages in Sicily.
You can see beautiful colored houses full of art and flowers. Some artworks remind the famous Gaudi's style that you can find in Barcelona, Spain.

WHAT ABOUT US AND THE SICILY LOVERS PROJECT:
We are Rosella and Gianca, two native proud Sicilians with a strong passion for our beloved island.
We own a dynamic tour company which helps people enjoy amazing experiences in Sicily from the vantage point of true Sicilians!

When the Covid-19 pandemic hit in 2020, it crippled the economy and paralyzed our tourism activities.
We were all faced with something foreign and unexpected.
But we were determined not to let anything stop us from sharing our cherished island with other proud Sicily Lovers.

We needed to re-invent ourselves bringing fresh new ideas and solutions so that people may continue to enjoy the best that Sicily has to offer.

These difficult times have deprived us from many things but have given us so much more: this new project dedicated to our beautiful family of Sicily Lovers around the world.

And so, if you love Sicily you have 2 possibilities:
