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.

Marche - new Tuscany

Italia has many faces. It is blue like the sea, golden like beaches, green and lush like meadows and hills covered with a network of vineyards, aromatic like olive groves. It smells not only of pizza and spaghetti, but also almond, amaretti cookies, cream, panna cotta or coffee, tiramisu. Everyone will find a corner in it that will steal their heart. For those who fall in love romantically, Marche, a region in central Italy, may become the object of love. Marche is an agricultural area and its landscapes are made up of vineyards, olive groves, vast meadows, fields and pastures. It will be loved by everyone who associates . Tourists who will stop there will be delighted, because it lies right by the sea, stretching along the beach strip with a row of white houses. Couples in love can greet the sunrise together. On the other hand, families with children can start their mornings with breakfast on the terrace overlooking the sea, and during the day - relax on the sun loungers or watch the kids playing on the sand. For children, there are numerous places where they can have fun (including on swings or slides). There is also a restaurant and gym, a beach volleyball court and many other attractions. When we add to it the wonderful atmosphere and the unique microclimate of the Marche coast, there is probably no need to encourage anyone that it is worth coming on vacation here.

Garda from the north and south

Lombardy, one of the richest regions in Europe, has plenty of tourist attractions. The pearl of this milk and honey (although it would be more appropriate here: wine and olive oil) of the flowing region of Italy is Garda, the largest and cleanest lake in the country. Due to the mild climate, it is surrounded by lush Mediterranean vegetation, and the fauna living in its waters is equally rich. In the past, the air around the lake smelled of citrus - numerous oranges were built here. If you dare to try to rank tourists visiting Garda, you can say that the southern shores are chosen by amateurs of blissful rest, relaxation in thermal baths, and always young at heart, who love having fun in amusement parks. In turn, the north of the lake is the region of water sports enthusiasts, with particular emphasis on surfers.

Many European coastlines claim to be the most beautiful on the continent. One of them is Costiera Amalfitana, Amalfi Coast. It stretches across Italy in the southern part of the Sorrento peninsula. The main coastal town is the resort of the same name. According to legend, Amalfi was so named by Hercules in honor of his great love. A beautiful nymph died under mysterious circumstances and the desperate hero traveled the whole world to find a worthy burial place for his beloved. And he found them in a wide chasm in the Campania region, in the coastal rocks.
