A REAL JEWEL IN A STORMY SEA

Castellamare del Golfo is a true gem but at the present time the situation in Italy is at best chaotic. Truckers' strikes, demonstrations and road blockages by angry demonstrators who are attempting to influence a government made up of technocrats. These were not elected by anyone but were approved by the legislature who in Italy is actually elected by the parties. I call this democracy light. It's really too bad as the country is uniquely beautiful and full of artistic and natural treasures, not to mention cultural ones. It's language is the most beautiful of all albeit very difficult to use properly. What can you do, the more you change it the more it remains the same. Yet I love this place especially this beautiful town.
