Hidden Treasures of Sicily: Amazing Train Journey (Full Documentary) | TRACKS

Sicily is an island that is constantly reinventing itself, and it wants people to forget about its mafia history in order to better appreciate its assets. Taking the train is the best way to see them and get a glimpse of the volcanic landscape, which includes Mount Etna and the Aeolian Islands.

From Mauritania to Sicily, from Mexico to the USA and Czech Republic, each episode takes us onboard an emblematic train, to meet those who live, eat and sleep and build projects there...
On the Rails also explores what surrounds this legendary means of transport: The villages, the breathtaking landscapes, the must-see tourist steps, the train stations, the countryside and the mountains crossed by the journalist.

I was glad to see you showed the ironwork lanterns of the Taormina train station (hanging from the ceiling) which were made by my great-grandfather Giovanni Scimone, who had a workshop in Taormina. The air and atmosphere in Taormina is truly magical.

Beautiful place and shows that perfectly !!
One suggestion, keep the original voice and give a subtitle for that and english voice over after that. Otherwise pls decrease the voice ang give the transition, its very distracting. Prefer Original voice if possible 👍🏼

Thank you so much for showing the beauty of my born place. Next time you can visit Piazza Armerina, Villa Romana and Morgantina!

Great video! And very helpful!
Would be beneficial if next to the price you would have added the duration od the journey, just to give some perspective. 🤗
Also wondering if there are monthly train passes in Italy?

[TeroCarni]

Sicily is a great island! Love it🙂 But I don't undestand why you spoiled and dubbed this video?☹️

[evyf]

I wish it could’ve been with original voice! Still interesting video! I’d like to know which cities the trains go in Sicily and the ones they don’t have the train running? Planning my trip to Sicily this year, interesting in visiting both sides of the island, starting in Catania, Taormina, Syracuse, Agrigento, Noto, Ragusa, Trapani & Erica, Palermo, Monreale, Cefalu and fly back from Palermo to Rome, does anyone can give me some recommendations on how to travel to Sicily without a car! Thank you 🙏

When Greeks And Italians Living together Made World Wonders.

[franciscabonsel]

such a pity not to be able to hear the original voices, we love to hear italian. why no subtitles? i could not finish seeing this documentary.

[pranavhinduja]

I'd really appreciate it if you lot would post it in its original form too - Without the voiceover - A nice way to improve my French I reckon - Thanks for this by the way, it's quite nice

The sound track has an echo-echo-echo.

[michelecampanelli]

Mi sembra che l'audio originale sia in francese... non era meglio mantenere l'audio originale e poi attivare i sottotitoli..??

[giuseppeferreri]

It would had been better a sub title written than destroying the talking with the loudly voice terrible

[Animalkisser]

45:08 That is not a Greek temple but a greco-roman amphitheater.

[jenniferthomas]

Can some one tell me the song is around 44:00~

[BhartiyaHindhu]

Sicily city : do you know there was a song on your name in movie name SPIDER in a TELUGU LANGUAGE movie starring MAHESH BABU and RAKUL in 🇮🇳
