The main character is Salvo Montalbano (played by Luca Zingaretti), the head of…

Palermo, Sicily... I would suggest this particular moment is perfect to include Palermo (and Sicily in total) in your travel plans.

Don't take me wrong, I love Taormina with its luxury hotels, tremendous scenery, picturesque landscape, narrow streets dotted with boutique shops and characteristic restaurants. But lets speak about Sicily. The one where legendary "Inspector Montalbano" serial was filmed, where price for dinner is still human, and the streets are still populated with characters from 70th…
