Sicily 1843. A group of English travellers landed on the
island and directed to Segesta (ancient Egesta) are going
to live a typical Grand Tour experience in the Italian
countryside. Classical Greek spirit discovered by
modern eyes.
But our characters will be in trouble with something
unexpected that changes their trip in something more
profound: it becomes an interior journey.
“letter from Sicily” is the story of a sentimental education,
is the story of the opposition of conformism, is the
story of the seeking of the normalization of diversity.
Concept that finds the right position in the contrast between
Victorian world of the middle of ‘800 century and
the pure antiquity of Sicily of the same period, that tries
to convert is own past and obtain dignity in a modern
society. |
