Elena Ghisellini’s Sicilian Holiday
The handbag designer shares her travel diary from a recent vacation on Sicily’s enchanting Marettimo Island.
“The people from the islands are extremely nice and welcoming, with an exquisite taste for healthy food. Here, a photo from one of many boat escapades with my dear friend Pietro Cavasino who knows the island by heart.”
“Seeing a Shiba Inu was very unexpected on such a hot Sicilian island!”
“The Grotta del Tuono Thunder Cave! The name sounds mysterious and dangerous, but in reality it is so beautiful and relaxing.”
“Here, the Aloe flower, which is one of the most powerful natural healing plants. I broke off a piece after too much sun!”
“The water is so crystal-clear.”
“The crowd!”
“Some of the delicious cakes at Scaletta di Giovanni patisserie. It’s a mandatory stop-over—they have the best cassata and cannolis.”
“The island’s small port.”
“The island is filled with caper flowers—the fruit is a well known Sicilian specialty.”
“The fishermen’s houses at sunset.”
“The only problem with vacations is that they are too short!”
