Via San Michele

Behind the famous Via Etnea, there is a small, vital and rich oasis of creativity. It is via San Michele: here there are the more whimsical crafts meeting the public in a friendly, but reserved area. You will find painters, artists, ateliers of graphic arts and photography where you can taste refined dishes and excellent wines. Concrete ideas to improve the environment, the economy and society start from this “melting pot”.

Inspirations that animate, for example, the historic atelier of Antonio Recca: you will find it at number 30.

Space also for excellence food with creative, healthy and tasty cuisine of Cucina dei Colori, where the menu changes daily, depending on seasonal ingredients. Or Razmataz, a small dehor in the heart of the city, where you can enjoy typical Sicilian cuisine re-elaborated and other unusual flavors and taste a good glass of wine.

But Via San Michele is also a gathering of artists and creators: Folk with the talented Magda Masano who creates daily Moor Heads, natural lava or painted ceramic objects and hosts mini-collections of young fashion designers. Or Tabarè, a small gallery where the creativity of five women blends into a kaleidoscope of shapes, colors and materials. Or Cari and Rari, a refuge for those who love music and has a passion for vinyl and discs.

Also here art is master: Koart is the gallery that welcomes new generations of artists and proposes works from figurative to conceptual, with an eye to the latest trends in design and photography. And the Arionte gallery since 2003 is strongly committed to promoting contemporary with a focus on innovative, experimental and research approaches.

Or like Tourì, info point and luggage storage that led tourists to the discover of the most beautiful, unexpected Sicily with “made by locals” tips and services that will make their Sicilian voyage an unforgettable experience.
