The Val di Noto

South-eastern Sicily’s late-Baroque heartland is a UNESCO World Heritage site — a cluster of towns rebuilt in warm golden stone after the great earthquake of 1693. Ragusa Ibla is one of them; within a short drive lie Modica, famous for its chocolate and hillside Duomo, the elegant golden streets of Noto, and film-set Scicli, plus the winter-quiet coast at Marina di Ragusa. Easy to add a day before or after the Congress.

Taste the territory

The flavours behind the science

Ragusa is the home of Caciocavallo Ragusano DOP and the cold-worked chocolate of Modica — the living dairy and food traditions this Congress exists to celebrate, and well worth seeking out between sessions.
