Once one of ancient Greece’s most important cities, today Syracuse (Siracusa in Italian) is a lively town of about 125,000 on Sicily’s southeast coast. The city overflows with amazing remnants from its long history. Romans, Vandals and Normans are but a few of those who ruled here after the Greeks. In Syracuse’s harbor, Ortygia Island (also called Città Vecchia or Old City) is the site of many of the main attractions, including the seventh-century cathedral and the Fountain of Arethusa.

Sicilian's artist studio/gallery.
Angela is an excellent local artisan specializing in several types of print-making. She offers a wonderful and worthwhile two hour workshop appropriate for absolute beginners and professional artists alike. My wife and I left with two prints each and big smiles on our faces. Angela is not only charming and kind but also very generous. We felt welcomed, supported and encouraged the entire time. Our only complaint was that we hadn't more time to spend with Angela! This is an amazing gem of an artshop and workshop experience. If you happen to travel to Siracusa you must visit Ortigia and if in Ortigia we encourage you to stop by Angela's shop, L'Arte per Linciso. We give five out of five stars!!!!!

Located in the heart of Ortigia, Since 2002 the Fish house art gallery exhibits works by famous and emerging artists who create works in the shape of fish or representing the marine world with different materials. In the fish house laboratory fish are created and restored and artists who share the same philosophy and passion for art and the marine world are hosted. It is a monothematic contemporary art gallery that offers its visitors an unforgettable experience; those who visit, in fact, are amazed by the place and the vastness of works that vary in style and style. All the fish are made with different materials, ranging from ceramics, to glass, to recycled wood coming from the beaches. Each piece is created with care and attention, and everyone is cared for down to the last detail, both for realistic fish, and for a little more imaginative and bizarre fish. Entering the gallery is like taking a dip in the sea, a total immersion in art, colors and shapes.
We were in this store in November and saw a wonderful whale that I couldn't get out of my head. Some weeks ago I decided to buy him after all and therefore the whole transaction was done by e-mail. What can I say: PERFECT ! 5 stars are not enough for this great service. All mails were answered super fast, the receipt of the payment was confirmed immediately and the valuable object was packed extremely carefully. Absolutely top ! Tho shop is a treasure-box and there is a lot to see. Visit them it is worth that !!!
