While the fiction of Montalbano was shot in the South Eastern Sicily, with its imposing baroque and neoclassical architectural structures, in a Sicily by the wild nature and the long golden sandy beaches, instead of Andrea Camilleri novels are set between Vigàta and Montelusa or towns fantasy, identified with Porto Empedocle and Agrigento. Places that really exist as Porto Empedocle (Vigàta) with its streets, abandoned factories, the Mannara, the lighthouse, the Marinella beach, east pier, the Restaurant San Calogero and Trattoria da Enzo, where among the attractions I found a nice restaurant, Vigata Storie di gusto, that in an environment where they combine with sobriety pleasant rustic elements such as brick walls with elegant finishes, proposes a food inspired by the flavors of tradition as narrated in the pages known Sicilian authors: by Camilleri and Pirandello, Verga in Tomasi di Lampedusa. To "Vigata Storie di gusto", you can savor the delights of the earth and the Sicilian sea, accompanied by the scents of a Mediterranean atmosphere becausa the food is also the history of the place, feelings, always ready to give you pleasure and emotions. But back to the reality of the television series of the Palomar, Montelusa is Ragusa, Scicli is Vigàta, Marinella is Punta Secca, not to mention the beautiful location of the Donnafugata Castle, the residence Sinatra boss, or even the natural near the Furnace Pen in the area the small village of Sampieri that is the background to Mannara. The places of Montalbano, they all have one common denominator that can be detected in the "Sicilian typical" which makes of Camilleri's novels and the TV series of the Palomar one wonderful panorama of the more traditional Sicily and the most hidden, which becomes a strong attraction for tourists from around the world. For that you can not visit just once in life all the places of Montalbano.
