It suits anyone Sicily has got hold of: the friend who came home from Taormina and has not stopped talking about it, the father whose family came from the island, or, quite reasonably, yourself. Anyone, in short, who would rather be given a story than another gadget.

Should it not suit after all, write to hello@terradelgattopardo.com and we will put it right. Full terms live on our refunds page.

The Land

A corner of Sicily, dedicated in your name.

Every title comes with dedicated Sicilian land, in the hills above the Ionian Sea north of Taormina, looking out over the sea. Your name goes on the certificate in the old Sicilian style. You may choose to title yourself Don or Donna.

This is the Sicily of Lampedusa's Leopard, where everything must change so that everything can stay the same. Now a corner of it carries your name.
