The emigration of people from Sicily often overshadows the importance of the people who immigrated to the island through the centuries. These have included several who became Sicily's rulers, along with Jews, Ligurians, Albanians, Greeks, Vandals, Goths, Muslims, Hohenstaufens, Spaniards and Bourbons, all of who have left lasting influences on the island's culture and architecture. This unique book is as essential as it is enjoyable, aimed at tourists, armchair travellers and historians alike.
