In defence of the local tourist guides in Italy!!!!

This is from the Appeal to the all Council Of Europe Authorities to prevent creation of National guides by FEG (Federation of European Tourist guides):

"....The Council of Europe should protect the figure of local professional guides,who live in the area they guide in, have studied the complex local history,have become experts in the history of the artistic production of their area,know the agricoltural, natural patrimony of their area and promote it,helping to safeguard the treasures of all Europeans should help to protect.

The concept of National guide is pure Dysneyworld....

if the local guides will be suppressed...to be replaced by an ignorant, ill-prepared, glib national guide...

Don't let Europe become a Dysneyworld..we are not made of plastic and stupidity.

...Prevent such  an appallingly idiotic decision whixh the Italian government is trying to impose, selling out the fabulously diverse territories, in Italy, to the cheap and ignorant quick money-makers, like the global tour operators......"

This is from the heart by every single local professional guide in Italy!

Busulmona: like Heaven!

Busulmona : XIXth  century farmhouse, once property of the  Cavaliere Sessa, today run by the family Di Pino. 5 km far from Noto it is immersed in a wonderful almond grove and carobs olives and all the colours of nature   make of this piece of Sicily a true paradise! It works as a B&B at the moment with only two bedroom, but it's also possible to have lunch tasting olive oil and almonds and wathever  what rigorously the family produce and cook for you!  Tranquillity, harmony, genuinity.. this are the things coming to my mind when I was there The name Busulmona , which is the name of all that area,comes from the Arabic and means the land of sun....  an extraordinary view  from the stone terrace on the Val di Noto, from Noto to Vendicari and Marzamemi... . for further information : www.busulmona.com
