La Maddalena, Sardinia, is home to the first national park of Sardinia, featuring mostly undeveloped beaches and a vibrant main town with restaurants and shops.

In the valley of Pantalica, Italy, where more than 4,000 rock-cut tombs line the cliffs above the Anapo River, architect Leopold Banchini introduces Asympta, a temporary micro-architecture that shifts attention away from the necropolis and toward the unknown architecture of the living. Installed in Ortigia in 2025 and traveling to Pantalica in 2026 for the COSMO festival, the structure reflects on the prehistoric civilization embedded within the Syracusa-Pantalica UNESCO World Heritage landscape, proposing a speculative shelter rooted in place rather than in archaeological reconstruction.

Jayla never thought she'd buy a house pretty much sight unseen, much less one off the coast of Italy. The 25-year-old Florida native, who asked to use only her first name, had first come across an offer for a "1 euro house" in Europe in November 2024, shortly after Donald Trump won reelection.

In 2019, Locke's first memoir, From Scratch, became a Reese's Book Club pick and, soon after, a global hit miniseries on Netflix.

Sicilians view children as a blessing, resulting in welcoming family-friendly hotels where even the most upscale accommodations offer vibrant experiences for families.

Visitors enter through the warm reception, with a cozy sitting room to the right and the bar to the left. The pool and far-reaching views down to Caldura Bay create an iconic visual that defines the hotel.

The discovery of an archaic necropolis in Gela, Sicily highlights its rare archaeological significance, especially with the city’s history of destruction and limited remains.

During my trip, I encountered many other tourists and waited in long lines for most everything, whether I was buying gelato or visiting the ancient Greek theater.

The recovery operation of the superyacht Bayesian, which sank last summer, is a complex task involving specialist technology and salvage expertise to ensure safety and environmental protection.
