A day in Palermo

So, yesterday I finally made it to Palermo!
It's a very interesting city to visit, but the most interesting thing to see there is, for sure, the Capuchin catacombs. If you plan to visit Sicily, you can't skip that place!

It's nice too, to walk around the center of the city. It has a lot of monumental buildings, it's very full of turists and souvenirs shops, very chaotic... but nice.

... and of course, like every city in Sicily, there is a lot of veeeeeeeery good food!!

(That was the best Setteveli in the world!!)

I won't post pictures of mummies because not everyone would be happy to see them, but if you want to know more about the mummies of Palermo you should google "Palermo cappuccini mummie" or something similar. And, if you can understand Italian, you can take a look at the official website.

And... something I recenly sent!

Progress: 24/50

Finally, about my travel to North

I'm going to write about my little trip in letters, so I don't want to ruin the surprise for my penpals... but I could tell you something about the places I visited!

First thing first, keep in mind that Italy is a country full of differences. Every region of it is unique, and has its own characteristics.
I live in Sicily, and I went in Veneto... So, I really went in the opposite part of my country!

^ That is Veneto! And the island in the very south is Sicily

I visited Treviso, Padova, Venezia (Venice, but I like to call places how they're called by people that live in them!!) and some minor towns (but they're all lovely!).
Treviso is the most cute, clean and nice city I ever seen! Padova is amazing too, even if it was snowing like crazy... and it was the first snow of my life!!

Me under my first snow, with my Rilakkuma bag protecting me, and my Chinese umbrella who died. Rest in peace, dear cheap umbrella!

Venezia is a must for every tourist, I guess. And this is why I was not so excited about it, but come on, soon or later everyone should walk through its little streets!

So, that's all. Then I returned home, wondering about the differences between North and South Italy. Remember to think about what you'd like to see, if you'll come to visit us! Italy isn't just Rome!

My little, nice travel was sponsored by my dear friend Alice. Thank you so much, dear! (How many times I said "thank you" already? But never too many!)
