This church was rebuilt after the 1693 earthquake and its spectacular staircase adds to the allure of its three-tiered fa\u00e7ade. During the festival in honour of the saint, <em>Cudduri<\/em>, traditional bread rings are cooked and given as an offering together with laurel. The <strong>Palazzo Comunale<\/strong> is from the early 1900s; it&#8217;s neoclassical in style with touches of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitsicily.info\/liberty-in-sicilia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Liberty<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The province of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitsicily.info\/localita\/siracusa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Siracusa<\/a> was discovered early by the great Italian directors and Palazzolo has itself also featured in many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitsicily.info\/localita\/siracusa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">films<\/a>. The neorealist Carmine Gallone was much taken with it and wanted to film some scenes from <em>Cavalleria Rusticana<\/em> here in 1953; Luigi Zampa set <em>Gente di Rispetto <\/em>[The Flower in his Mouth] here in &#8217;75 and Franco Zeffirelli set his version of <em>Cavalleria Rusticana <\/em>here, while Antonio Albanese used it for the initial scene of <em>La Fame e la Sete <\/em>[Hunger and Thirst] and Ficarra and Picone for the hilarious <em>Nati Stanchi [Born Tired].<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In addition, the small town, whose former opulence can still be glimpsed, is well-known for its festivities. These include the <strong>Baroque<\/strong> festivals<strong> of San Paolo<\/strong>, at the end of <strong>June<\/strong>, <strong>San Sebastiano<\/strong> in <strong>August <\/strong>and <strong>San Michele<\/strong> at <strong>the end of September<\/strong>, not forgetting the traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitsicily.info\/carnevale-in-sicilia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Carnevale<\/a>, one of the most captivating in this area of Sicily, perennially in competition with the more famous one in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitsicily.info\/acireale-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Acireale<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Along <strong>Corso Vittorio Emanuele<\/strong> the Baroque buildings are a reminder of the town&#8217;s noble families and its prominent, and far from provincial, figures. These include the palazzo of the archaeologist <strong>Ludica<\/strong> from the late 1700s, the 17th-century<strong> Palazzo Pizzo<\/strong>, and the <strong>Chiesa dell&#8217;Immacolata<\/strong>, formerly the Santa Maria di Ges\u00f9. This church houses a Renaissance masterpiece of the Dalmatian <em>Francesco Laurana<\/em>, a <em>Madonna with Child<\/em> (1471). Then there&#8217;s the <strong>Chiesa San Michele Arcangelo<\/strong> and soon after the <strong>Casa Museo Antonino Uccello<\/strong>, a museum created by this Sicilian ethnologist in the 18th-century <strong>Palazzo Baronale <em>Ferla-Bonelli<\/em><\/strong>. In the lower town, there are still more marvels, large and small, to amaze you: the <strong>Chiesa Madre San Nicola<\/strong>, and the <strong>Basilica of San Paolo<\/strong>, with its characteristic three-tiered tower fa\u00e7ade with pronaos.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitsicily.info\/sapore\/sagre-e-feste-del-cibo-in-sicilia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Festa di San Paolo<\/a>, on the 29 June, involves the <em>u giru ro pani<\/em>, in which a cart goes round the town collecting bread donated by the town&#8217;s inhabitants.<\/p>\n<p>We finish the tour of the &#8220;lively&#8221; town with the wonderful Sicilian Baroque fa\u00e7ade of the <strong>Chiesa dell&#8217;Annunziata<\/strong>. The church&#8217;s paired, spiral columns are so heavily decorated that they look like the Sicilian marzipan sweets known as &#8216;frutta martorana&#8217;. The <em>Annunciation<\/em> of <strong>Antonello da Messina<\/strong>, now kept in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.comune.siracusa.it\/index.php\/it\/itinerari-turistici-a-siracusa\/285-itinerario-culturale\/museo-bellomo\/346-museo-bellomo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Museo Bellomo<\/a> in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitsicily.info\/localita\/siracusa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Siracusa<\/a> seems to have been commissioned for this church.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, there are the old patisseries, with their secular tradition, providing something \u201c<em>sweet<\/em>\u201d for the palate: cakes made with almonds and walnuts from Palazzolo&#8217;s broad valleys, combined with pistachios, Hyblaean honey, praline with coffee and walnut liqueur and candied orange peel &#8216;lunettes&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>One product typical of Palazzolo is <strong>ragusano DOP,<\/strong> a stretched-curd cheese produced with cow&#8217;s milk, and you must try <strong>crispelle<\/strong>, a Christmas dessert made of durum wheat semolina flour, yeast and fennel, flavoured with either sugar and cinnamon or honey and cinnamon.<\/p>\n<p>Take a last look at Palazzolo. The \u201c<em>insaredde<\/em>\u201d, the coloured strips \u201cfired out\u201d for the festivals, are truly dazzling, as is the opulent Baroque architecture. At the top, on a small palazzo, there&#8217;s a plaque in memory of the writer and journalist Giuseppe Fava who was born here. Above, there&#8217;s the remains of the towers of the Norman castle which used to soar over the Anapo Valley, a reminder of this region&#8217;s long history.
