Italy’s best: BORGHETTO | Silvio Defant
There’s a list called “Italy’s best villages”. We don’t know who wrote it, but we can imagine what are the standards and requirements to make the fit. Borghetto, a tiny village in Northern Italy, near Verona, has what it takes.

Italy Travel Guide - Visiting the Ancient Town of Borghetto
Take a tour of Italian Town of Borghetto in Borghetto, Italy -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
One of northern Italy's most beautiful and ancient towns is Borghetto, on the Mincio River.
Archaeological digs have discovered tombs from the 9th century BC, a stunning testament to the history of this peaceful town.
Historically, the town was very important as one of the key fords across the river, and as such was highly desired by feuding armies.
The old defensive river tower can still be seen guarding the bridge into Borghetto.
Besides the tower, the town has many buildings that still stand from its ancient era.
Between the beautiful Mincio and the green countryside, Borghetto is a town of pristine beauty.
In ancient Palermo (EN) - Sicily - Italia.it
Walking through the streets of Palermo's center, tourists can take the occasion to discover the diverse facets of this marvelous city. Live the fascinating history of this place by visiting its Cathedral that, through the centuries was also a temple and a mosque. After that is the ebullient Baroque of the Church of Santa Maria della Pietà, followed by the noble 18th-Century atmosphere of Palazzo Comitini.
Moving on to the Kalsa Quarter, you can appreciate architectonic magnificence, fruit of the work of Giacomo Amato.
Within an area extending over just 1,000 feet we can find three of his masterpieces, each in a different style: the Church of San Nicolò in the Roman Baroque and boasting the largest lunette in Euope, the octagonal Church of San Mattia, and the Church of St. Theresa, in Sicilian Baroque.

FAVIGNANA - SICILIAN ADVENTURE PART III
*LIKE & SUBSCRIBE* !!
This is the 3rd part of my Sicilian adventure. My girl friend knew how much I wanted to visit Favignana so her and a friend organised a trip! We stayed in Trapani for a few days and got the ferry over to Favignana and spent a day there. Exploring the mini town centre, renting bicycles, plundering caves, crystal blue lagoons, cliff jumping, sun burn, popped tires, pooping in the wilderness, you name it we did probably did it. This was an incredible trip to remember and if you're around Trapani a £40 return ticket to Favignana for the day is absolutely worth it!

The Best of Sicily Street Food - Stigghiola, Panelle, Pani ca Meusa
The stigghiola is a Sicilian street food specialty, typical of the streets of the city of Palermo. It consists of guts (usually of lamb, but also of goat or chicken) which are washed in water and salt, seasoned with parsley and often with onion and other pot herbs, then stuck on a skewer or rolled around a leek, and finally cooked directly on the grill.
Panelle are Sicilian fritters made from chickpea flour and other ingredients. They are a popular street food in Palermo and are often eaten between slices of bread or on a roll, like a sandwich. Panelle are believed to be of Arab origin.
La stigghiola consiste di budella di agnello (ma anche capretto o pollo), lavate in acqua e sale, condite con prezzemolo, con o senza cipolla, infilzate in uno spiedino, o arrotolate attorno a un porro, e cucinate direttamente sulla brace. Si mangiano calde, condite con sale e limone. Nella maggior parte dei casi si mangiano per strada in qualche bancarella.
La Panella è una frittella di farina di ceci, tipico cibo da strada della cucina palermitana. Si possono acquistare in moltissimi luoghi della città, in particolare nelle “friggitorie, anche ambulanti, presenti nelle strade di Palermo.
Le panelle vengono preparate con farina di ceci, acqua e prezzemolo. La farina viene sciolta in acqua salata e viene girata con un mestolo fino a farla diventare una pasta cremosa, poi viene stesa su un piano, tagliata e poi fritta. Vengono poi servite soprattutto in mezzo alle Mafalde - forme di pane di circa 200 grammi con la crosta ricoperta di semi di sesamo.
Il pani câ meusa (in italiano panino con la milza) è una specialità alimentare di Palermo nel campo del cosiddetto cibo da strada.
Consiste in un panino morbido (vastella), spolverato di sesamo, imbottito con pezzetti di milza, polmone e, talvolta, trachea di vitello. Questi vengono prima bolliti interi e, una volta cotti, tagliati a fettine sottili e soffritti a lungo nella sugna
Il meusaru si serve di un'attrezzatura caratteristica: una pentola inclinata, con strutto bollente nella parte bassa, mentre in alto attendono le fettine di interiora che verranno fritte al momento della vendita. Una forchetta a due denti serve per estrarre le fettine fritte dal grasso di cottura, che vengono scolate e inserite nella vastella, anch'essa calda, avvolta in carta da pane o carta assorbente.
L'origine di questa cibo si fa risalire al medioevo, quando gli ebrei palermitani impegnati nella macellazione della carne, non potendo venire retribuiti per precetto religioso, trattenevano come ricompensa le interiora che rivendevano come farcitura insieme a pane e formaggio. Il consumo di interiora, molto diffuso a Palermo, è tipico di quelle comunità dove, al consumo di carne dovuto alla presenza di famiglie nobiliari, corrispondeva un utilizzo degli scarti della macellazione da parte del popolo.
