ISNELLO
You are going to visit a village where tourists don't use to go...Just 2 miles before you arrive all people around will know that some "Stranieri" (foreigners) are arriving ;o) People will watch you through the almost closed windows...You are strange for them...your language, your clothes...maybe your white skin and your hair...but they are very kind and very polite...if you ask some informations they'll try to explain you more and more...with the help of their hands and they'll want know more about you :o) You'll have a fantastic feeling.

Isnello (Sicilian: Isneddu) is a municipality in the Province of Palermo in the Italian region Sicily, located about 80 km southeast of Palermo. It takes about 1 hour 15 minutes to get isnello from Palermo. Isnello is a place where wool is still worked with the loom, where hardworking and skilled hands stretch out true "love nets", where the now vanished art of processing glass and the tanning of hides is echoed in place names, where the dialect does not exhibit metaphony. Its healthy climate, cool waters and great sense of hospitality make it an ideal holiday place.
