Whoever planned a trip to Sicily in May will have to postpone it. The head of regional government Nello Musumeci announced that the island would be closed in May. He hopes that the COVID-19 incidence rate will drop to zero there as a result of the isolation.

He assured that the situation was monitored and that as soon as it improved, residents would be happy to welcome tourists.

There is hope for a vacation?

Nello Musumeci pointed out that there are 12 coronavirus patients on the island who are in intensive care units, and at the same time the number of cured patients is growing all the time. They also include patients transferred to Sicily from overcrowded hospitals in Lombardy.

The chairman pointed out that one infected person could infect a hundred more when moving around Sicily. He meant the very numerous arrivals of Italians from the north of the country, noted at the beginning of the exacerbation of the epidemiological situation. After that, a high infection rate was found on the island. - Today we can say that we are one of the safest regions in Italy - said Nello Mesumeci.

It will not be an airtight seal. When the epidemic situation allows, the island will gradually open. We have to renew contacts with the world, but with caution - assured the governor.

Holidays with art under the Tuscan sun
Tuscany is the "heart of Italy" - a region whose landscape and unique culture have charmed many. Tuscany is impossible not to love. It is enough to look at the hills stretching to the horizon, covered with hundreds of small vineyards, which at sunset "light up" in front of our eyes with a real madness of colors. The tiny towns emerging from the morning mists are one of the most romantic paintings you can see in Italy. And of course, the places on the map that Tuscany is famous for all over the world: Florence , Pisa and Siena - three cities that are bursting at the seams with world-class monuments. These three reasons: picturesque landscapes, traditional towns and "cities of art" will make every holiday in Tuscany an unforgettable experience. But where to start getting to know this amazing region? The answer is obvious: from Florence, the capital of the region. A city that loves art and beauty like no other in the world is a real dream. Let's start our visit to Florence from the symbol of this city - the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore , which rises towards the sky, showing the amazing richness of Renaissance decorations. It is easy to understand why this city attracts artists to this day. From the cathedral, it is worth taking a walk to Giotto's Bell Tower, and then reaching the top to admire the entire panorama of the city. From here, it is only a five-minute walk to reach the magnificent Palazzo Vecchio - the former town hall, famous for its numerous decorations and frescoes on the walls. Interestingly, it was in front of the main entrance of the Palazzo Vecchio that stood "David" - one of the most famous sculptures by Michelangelo. Today, a faithful replica of it stands in this place.
