During our stay in Sicily, we were lucky to see three beaches, yet each of them was different.

A mysterious animal

  by Bartłomiej Blacha and Karol Danielczyk from Bieruń, Poland

On the third day of our trip to Sicily we went to a very nice beach in Mondello. We put on our swimming costumes and started taking pictures. Suddenly, we saw a strange animal lying on the sand. It was quite small, just a few centimeters long, transparent with some blue elements. We didn’t know what it was. Our teacher warned us: “You’d better not touch this animal, please, be careful”, but it was too late. We had already touched it!

Sicily: An island of contrasts.

Have you ever wondered what a trip to Sicily would be like?
This is what we found on our recent visit to the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, an island full of history which wants to keep its rich cultural bakground at the same time as it is trying to meet the new requirements to fit the needs of the modern society of the 21st century we live in.

Through this series of photographs, some of them with comments, you'll discover a little bit of its history as well as some of the most important UNESCO sites on the island, together with their beautiful traditional music and astonishing landscapes and monuments.
You'll also have a look at one of the most important journals on the island: Il Giornale di Sicilia, which we visited as an important part of the project we're working on.
