Thank you for your comment. I apologize for...Kveto,<br />Thank you for your comment. I apologize for not approving it earlier. It was buried in a large amount of anonymous spam messages with links to all kinds of get-rich quick schemes.<br /><br />I do wish that I could visit Sicily, but have not had the chance to do so just yet. I am returning to Italy this summer, but the logistics of the trip did not make going south to Sicily a possibility. Instead, I will be going to Ferrara and Ravenna.<br /><br />Ferrara was the home to both Ariosto and Boiardo and Ravenna has a beautiful basilica which inspired Charlemagne to build his cathedral in Aachen.<br /><br />Perhaps in 2016, I will be able to visit Sicily to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the publication of <i>Orlando furioso</i> with seeing some of their famous puppet theater.Linda C.

In the streets you can buy marionetes of Orlando, Rinaldo, Angelica and Bradamante.<br /><br />In the north they haven't much time for their legends. In Reggio di Calabria you can find the "Fata Morgana" mentioned in Orlando Innamoratto.<br /><br />Kveto from PragueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-896911960035171090.post-24606517363086127812011-08-22T09:42:05.719-07:002011-08-22T09:42:05.719-07:00Nelson,
