Corleone "Even in Sicily, a land where men killed each other with the same ferocious enthusiasm with which the Spaniands slaughtered bulls, the murderous madness of the citizens of Corleone inspired a universal dread". Such were the words of Mario Puzo in "The Sicilian". The town of Corleone itself, situated on a hilltop deep within the most isolated, alien, beautifully green ravines and rocky crevices, stands as proud as it stands alone, unaffected by the goings on of the nearby capital city of Palermo or for that matter, the rest of the island of Sicily.

Marsala
The westernmost point of Sicily, the little town of Marsala was founded around 400 BC. Marsala was the beginning of Garibaldi's expedition to free southern Italy in the late 1860. A former wine cellar houses a truly marvelous museum which contains a warship that fought the Carpathanians in the first Punic War during 241 BC.
