Things to see in the Province of Messina, Sicily, Italy
On this episode of You, Me and Sicily we take you around the Province of Messina. First stop is Giardini Naxos which the Greeks first inhabited in 734 BC. They soon made their way up to Taormina, here at every corner there is something to marvel at. We also stopped at one of our favorite places to stop for a snack and to listen to music. Next we go to Savoca and Forza d'Agro, two towns made famous by the Godfather movies but we like to go there because of the quaint cobblestone streets, art and panoramic views.
Next we head to Milazzo and the spectacular castle.
In Sant'Agata di Militello there is another castle with over 400 artifacts collected from the area.
In Tindari there is the Black Madonna. Legend has it she was brought here from Constantinople. During a storm the sailors gave the statue of the Black Madonna to the abbey for safekeeping.
The capital of the Province of Messina is the city of Messina . The bell tower of the main cathedral in Messina contains the biggest and most complex mechanical and astronomical clock in the world. We will have much more on a future episode.

THE CASTLE OF CHEETAH - Palma di Montechiaro
Je vous partage une petite découverte sur la route en Sicile : el castello de la ville Palma di Montechiaro.
C'est dans ce petit village, dominé par son château en ruine, que vécut quelques années Guiseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa. C'est l'auteur du roman le Guépard. Ce dernier sera adapté au cinéma par le célèbre réalisateur Luchino Visconti.

Castello Chiaramontano (Palma di Montechiaro) Aerial drone 4K
Il castello di Montechiaro, l'unico dei manieri chiaramontani in Sicilia edificato su un costone roccioso a picco sul mare, sorge nei dintorni di Palma di Montechiaro, in prossimità di Marina di Palma.
Realizzato nel 1353 su ordine di Federico III Chiaramonte fu, per la sua posizione strategica, di grande importanza nella storia della lotta contro i pirati. Dopo la morte di Andrea Chiaramonte e la confisca di tutti i suoi beni, il castello passò alla famiglia Moncada che ne cambiò il nome in Montechiaro con il chiaro intento di cancellare la memoria dei precedenti signori. Dopo vari passaggi la fortezza perviene nel XVII secolo, per linea femminile, alla famiglia Tomasi un componente della quale, Carlo Tomasi Caro, ricevette dal re Filippo IV di Spagna il titolo di duca di Palma. Questi, abbracciata la vita monastica, cedette tutti i suoi beni al fratello Giulio che fu 2º duca di Palma e 1º principe di Lampedusa: per un certo periodo soggiornarono nel castello i figli Isabella e il futuro cardinale e santo Giuseppe Maria. La rocca successivamente passò ai marchesi Bilotti Ruggi d'Aragona. Abbandonato al degrado per parecchio tempo, l'edificio ha subito dei lavori di restauro, con interventi inappropriati e discutibili, come la contornatura in mattoni di finestre, l'uso improprio di intonaci e di moderne pavimentazioni in cotto.
È da ricordare che all'interno della cappella è custodita una statua della Madonna che il Caputo attribuisce ad Antonello Gagini. Assai interessante è la leggenda in cui si narra che la statua, sottratta dai vicini abitanti di Agrigento, fu riportata dai palmesi nel castello dopo una lunga e furibonda lotta. Ad avvalorare tale fatto è il nome dato ad un corso d'acqua che da allora fu indicato come il vallone della battaglia.
