Sicily: Island of Myths

This is not an excursus into classical mythology, but rather a gallery of profiles on people who fired Sicilian imagination becoming legends. Quatriglio delves into the lives of such people as Franca Florio, Frederick II, Wagner, Pirandello, Verga, Cagliostro, Colapesce, Sciascia and others, and adds to our understanding of them. The people he writes about are figures of myth.
