Pasta and Capri Salad with an Aperol Spritz

This area changed my life. How could I ever know that the Mediterranean waters and vistas, the art, and the delicious food would lure me like a siren's song? It did just that so much that I did this trip twice in 2023. I want to go back. I am looking everyday to find the next opportunity to return. Italy is lovely, but inland, you are NOT on the French and Italian Riviera. No. Where. Like. It. In. The. World.


And did you know.... in Messina, on the beautiful island of Sicily, there is a mechanical clock that comes to life in the town square every day at noon. It has a Roaring Golden Lion! Where is this world where golden lions roar? You must go.
