The island that is a feeling

Sicily Is a Feeling (Touring Club Italiano) by Antonio Spadaro describes Sicily as an inner, intellectual experience even before it is a geographical one. It is in the Strait of Messina—that liquid threshold where the island draws closer to and at the same time distances itself from the mainland—that the book finds its center of gravity between memory, literature, and spirituality. The author intertwines places, encounters, and reflections, portraying a living and complex island. What emerges is a personal and cultural journey in which Sicily becomes a metaphor for identity, roots, and a way of looking at the world.
