Sicily

Qanat and Sirocco room with Prof. Pietro Todaro

Palermo geologist Pietro Todaro, author of the book "Il Sottosuolo di Palermo" (Palermo Underground) took time out from his busy schedule to show me a qanat and sirocco room in the zone of Baida in Palermo, Villa Savagnone 13 october 2012. The property was once the fiefdom of a mafioso boss who was killed by a rival clan. The government then gave the land and its precious, ancient spring to the Boy Scouts, who care for it.
