Favignana guide sections

The guide is divided in three sections: the story of Florio’s family and the tuna fishing period, the industrialization of mattanza and the bind between fishermen and religion and local folklore. Another section deals with the prisons of Favignana, the S.Caterina castle, and the S.Giacomo castle, and the modern jail. We also talk about the “casematte” from Second World War.
