How To Contact (or follow) Best of Sicily
Before you send us an email, please read this:

There's a 90% chance that your question is answered somewhere on this site!

Published entirely in Sicily.From the emails we receive (and we get at least a hundred each day), it's obvious that many readers simply haven't read the other parts of this site. On the Links Page you'll find links to useful Sicilian sites, and an explanation on how to use Italian search engines to find the information you need. Though we cannot respond to every email, we try to answer as many as possible. Many queries are already answered on our Faqs page, or the History, Food or Locality pages. We also have a search engine and an online Magazine.

Still can't find it? Dozens of good books on varied Sicilian topics are listed on our Book Page. (Travel guides are the very first topic mentioned.)

See the Publication Permission Page for information on using copyright material that appears on this website.

Please remember that Best of Sicily is not a research library, atlas or genealogical service. We do not represent any tourism board or other public agency and cannot respond to (or forward) emails intended for them. (Paid research services are described elsewhere.) We cannot answer questions of a personal nature - for example, "Can you recommend a hotel in Castelvetrano?" or "Could you help me find my relatives in Palermo?" Students seeking research assistance may wish to visit Sicily for Students. Read about us for more information regarding this site. The online magazine presents timely articles.
