Modica… “a town in the shape of a pomegranate split open; near the sea but still a country town, half confined to a rocky spur, half spread out at the foot of the hills, with a thousand flights of steps like peacemakers between the two parts of the town, and clouds in the sky between one bell-tower and an-other”
