Today we stroll the perfectly parallel streets of Noto! Famous for its radiant golden limestone and being the home of Sicilian Baroque architecture, as well as a UNESCO world heritage site.
Noto, Syracuse is one of the seven towns of the 'Val di Noto' which is a UNESCO world heritage site. It was completely destroyed in 1693 by a massive earthquake that affected the whole area. When it came to rebuilding it during the Sicilian Baroque period, there were three main architects and so a lot of buildings have a similar look as they were all centered around one main idea: all the streets were going to line up with the sun so when the sun shines onto the city, it lights up all the streets and reflects off of the yellow limestone, as evident in its beauty today.

About Us:
We’re Matteo & Micha, a married couple from opposite sides of the world, sharing travel guides, road trips & our journey through Italy and South Africa! 🌍
When we were in our early 20s and chasing our own dreams of living in Europe, we met one night at a pub in Florence...11 months later, we were married! Having been together since 2017, we have lived & worked on 3 different continents & even on a cruise ship!
After beginning our YouTube journey in South Africa during lockdown, we moved to Italy to live out one of our biggest dreams - pulling off the Ultimate Italian Road Trip… well, things didn’t go exactly according to plan and so, after 3 incredibly adventurous years, we pulled out of Italy and have now returned to where it all began, South Africa!
Matteo is 50% South African 🇿🇦 50% Italian 🇮🇹 Raised in South Africa
Micha is 100% Lebanese 🇱🇧 Born in Canada 🇨🇦 Raised in Los Angeles 🇺🇸
