The Villa Romana del Casale in Piazza Armerina is considered to be one of the most important exemplars of an official governmental residence, attributed to the elaboration and exceptional beauty of its architectonic and decorative elements.

On board of a Piaggio TriVespa you will visit Caltagirone a little town full of swirling patterns, vibrant colours, painstakingly detailed designs: wherever you go in Caltagirone this is what you will see! The highlight is undoubtedly the 142 steps of the Scalinata di Santa Maria del Monte. Here you will also taste typical Sicilian food (arancino and cannolo).

You will start your tour by visiting the thermal baths, where you can still perceive the enveloping warmth of the calidariums or the roar of the water of the Gela river that fills the frigidarium. Thanks to the beauty and vividness of the mosaics, you will feel part of the history represented in them so much that you will think you can hear the screams of the audience watching the quadriga competitions. You will visit the guest apartment, where you can admire scenes of daily life such as fishing, hunting and banquets. You will then move to the public area of the Villa where the owner received his "clientes", making them pass through the astonishing ambulatory of the Great Hunt: a gigantic geographical map of the Roman Empire. You will complete your tour by visiting the private apartments of the domina and the dominus.
