Three people, three corners of Sicily.
Dario Valastro
Palermo and western Sicily
Dario Valastro runs this site and is its data controller. The byline covers Palermo and western Sicily, plus the less romantic paperwork: permits, codice fiscale, taxes, rental contracts. Every fact comes from the sources listed at the end of each article. Disclosure: Dario is connected to Rankwit, the Aci Trezza company listed among the workspaces, and its page says so.

Angelo Scuderi
Catania, Etna and eastern Sicily
Angelo Scuderi is an editorial pen name, not a real person: it's the byline the editorial team uses for eastern Sicily. Under it you'll find Catania, Etna, Taormina and Messina, food, festivals and everyday life on the island's east side. Every fact comes from the sources listed at the end of each article and goes through the same checks described on the About page.

Alberto Nasta
Coworking, coliving and the south-east
Alberto Nasta is an editorial pen name, not a real person: it's the byline the editorial team uses for comparisons of coworkings, colivings and connectivity. It also covers Siracusa, the Val di Noto and the smaller islands. The method never changes: prices and hours from official sites, the date they were checked, and anything that couldn't be verified is flagged as such.
