Product Description
Visit Messina
messina
Like many Sicilian tourist resorts, Messina was founded by the Greeks and believed to be the gateway to the entire Sicilian region. Disputed place between various dominations that populated the island, it has often enjoyed great political, cultural and commercial attention thanks to the natural characteristics of the port and the strategic position in the Mediterranean routes. In addition, Messina houses the largest and most complex mechanical-astronomical clock in the world, integrated into the bell tower of the Cathedral. The culinary art of Messina finds maximum expression in Granita with Brioche and in orange. Among the typical local drinks there are various liqueurs and wines throughout the Messina area: limoncello, nocino, almond wine and numerous productions of IGT, DOC and DOCG wines.
