2 Best Sights in Sicily, Italy

Don't be put off by the drab, modern municipal building, which houses the fascinating Capo d'Orlando's contemporary arts center, archive, and gallery. A changing exhibition space staffed by a friendly and informative team displays works by dozens of Italian and international artists who have held residencies as part of an ongoing program that stretches back to 1955 called "Life and Landscape of Capo d'Orlando". One of these first visiting artists was Tono Zancanaro (1906--1985), a Padua native who fell in love with Capo's landscape and people and returned regularly thereafter, leaving a captivating and eclectic documentary collection of his work and Sicilian life.

Throughout Savoca you'll see works by steel artist Nino Ucchino, such as the now-iconic sculpture of Francis Ford Coppola behind his camera and an amusing talking donkey. You can visit his studio, perched on the hillside on the road into town, to see the master at work or buy some of his creations. He's there in his studio most afternoons, but it's best to call ahead to be sure he's available.
