You must be really busy getting ready! When you go to Ibla, try to make a swing through Modica downtown (there are 3 parts of Modica--go to the one in the valley), and Scicli if you have time. Is Niscemi nice? I've never been there. Alex–Buon viaggio! You must be really busy getting ready!

Niscemi, Noto, Caltagirone - all these I know pretty well. I can't wait to take a drive... I leave for a new life a Agrigento in 5 days...a dopo. I can’t believe I’ve never been here.

I'd better research it more. I was told the "full-time" population was about 300. That does seem small. Thanks for this, Josephine. I’d better research it more.

I know for sure it is not 300+. All of the city of Ragusa has a population of approximately 73,000. I believe the Province of Ragusa is close to 300,000.

My dad was born in 1911, so I suppose the construction took place in the early 30s. It was a military building, but I have no idea how it was used. The Germans took it over for a short time during WWII, but left it quickly when the Americans invaded the coast of Ragusa. The Americans took it over when they entered the city. The building was not used for a long period of time and then in the 50s it was used for after-school tutoring. I remember spending time there with my teacher friends.
