Die Treppe ist im Grunde sehr schön, aber bräuchte dringend eine Restaurierung....
Der ganze Ort Caltagirone ist extrem verwahrlost, schmutzig und heruntergekommen, obwohl die Anlage der Stadt sehr malerisch ist. War echt trostlos!

Two beautiful towns in one day, very well designated. Our driver was on time, very polite, and give us some background of the city. However, we had a drive more than a guide, because the most important part of the tour was the Villa of Rome, but we were on our own, and there’s no tour or audio guide on site.
