Siracusa Guide Italy

Siracusa is increasingly making a name for itself in Sicily and in Italy, as an active cultural center: the international events that are regularly organized in the city attract many visitors. The Festival of Santa Lucia, the city's patron saint, which is held on December 13th with an attractive religious procession, is very charming to see.

Events

If you decide to visit the city at the same time as one of these events is being held, we advise you to book thehotel in Siracusa that you have chosen well in advance.

Festival of Santa Lucia – 13 December
Siracusa celebrates its patron saint each year with a procession during which the solid silver statue of Santa Lucia is carried from the Cathedral to theBasilica del Sepolcro, where it remains on shown for 8 days. It takes 60 believers to carry the heavy statue, which was made by the goldsmith Pietro Rizzo in the 16th century.
Unlike other cities, Siracusa does not keep the remains of its patron saint: in 1204, when Constantinople fell under the crusades, the saint's remains were moved to Venice on the orders of the Doge.

Theatrical season at the Greek Theater – from May to July
The Italian National Institute for Ancient Drama has been promoting classical theater in Siracusa since 1913 by organizing a Festival which was at first held every two years and since 2002, each year that is totally dedicated to ancient theater. From May to July dramas by famous authors such as Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides are staged in the wonderful surroundings of theGreek Theater in Siracusa.

The Archaeological Museum "Paolo Orsi" in Syracuse.

The Archaeological Museum "Paolo Orsi" is one of the most important archaeological museums in Europe.

Since 1886, the treasures of ancient art discovered in eastern Sicily have been carefully collected here. The museum is incredibly vast, measuring 12,000 square meters or over 129,171 square feet spread across two floors. Over 9,000 meters - some 100,000 square feet - constitutes exhibition space, with more than 18,000 archaeological finds on display). It is so full of masterpieces that for an unhurried visit it is necessary to dedicate at least a full morning or afternoon. Reopened in the spring of 2014 after a long period of reorganization (which, by November of that year was still not fully finalized), the museum is housed in a modern building designed by Franco Minissi and opened its doors in 1988. It consists of a series of interconnected hexagons that allow for continuous and flexible gallery space. The museum also had a educational section dedicated to children. The permanent exhibition is housed on the entrance level and ranges from prehistory to the classical age. Other areas are dedicated to temporary exhibitions. The permanent exhibition is organized into four sections (A, B, C), arranged around a central, hexagonal courtyard, along with another upstairs section (D) and a subterranean vault.

Lastly, but Hellenized centers of eastern Sicily, and lastly to the two other major Greek colonies in the area, Gela and Agrigento.

Syracuse was defined by Cicero as "the most beautiful city in Magna Graecia." He was right of course. Still today the echoes of its ancient grandeur reverberate from the streets, churches and monuments, corroborating its religious and cultural importance: Syracuse is a destination no traveler should pass up and, with Sicily's Mediterranean climate, can be visited in any season of the year.

Made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005, the city conserves ancient vestiges in every niche and corner, from Classical testimonies to Baroque splendors, all within a landscape of enchanting beauty.
The UNESCO Site actually constitutes two different places: the cave necropolis of Pantalica and the historic center of Syracuse. Both evidence the development and progression of ancient civilizations.

Syracuse
Thanks to its enviable geographic position, Syracuse was a crucial crossroads of commercial exchange from when the Greeks settled it. Today it is a living artifact, connoting the customs and traditions of the many Mediterranean populations that passed through and dominated it, from the Byzantines, Bourbons, and Arabs to the Normans and Aragonese.

Sùraka, as Syracuse is known in Sicilian dialect (meaning an abundance of water) was one of the principal settlements in Magna Grecia, a place of artistic brilliance and commercial power. It was also one of the most important centers of Christianity during the Middle Ages, and it later saw its Baroque golden age after the earthquake of 1693.
The oldest urban nucleus, however, resides on the little island of Ortygia, where we find the Temple of Apollo, the most ancient in Sicily. The remains from the Temple of Athena (5th Century B.C.) were later converted into the Cathedral, while the Temple of Zeus rui culonne (two columns), due to the fact that what is left of the entire structure consists of just two columns.

In the course of the 4th Century B.C., Syracuse expanded via the residential quarters of Tyche and (the monumental) Neapolis (already existing were Ortygia, Acradina and Epipoli). Traces left by the Roman conquest include the beloved Amphitheatre, while just as magnificent is the Castello di Maniace, a Byzantine citadel commissioned by Frederick II of Swabia.

The Cave Necropolis of Pantalica
Not far from Syracuse, situated near open quarries is the cave necropolis of Pantalica; it is environmental wonder meets archaeological treasure. Pantalica became a settlement on the plateau of the Iblei Mountains for those coastal inhabitants fleeing the Sicels and other Italic populations that landed here in the first half of the 8th Century B.C. (the period to which these scenographic necropolises date).
The complex is made up of approximately 5,000 tombs dug into the rock, along with the Anaktoron (Prince's Palace) positioned at the top of a hill, a reminder of the grandiose Mycenaean palaces.

The village assimilated the customs and traditions of the gamut of peoples that came here, and in the Medieval Age it became a refuge for peoples exhausted by enemy incursions. The scenic beauty of Pantalica can be seen in its natural oasis, where marvelous examples of flora (anemones, orchids, and oleanders) and animal species thrive (peregrine falcon, wolf and river crab).

Curiosities
This is the home of Archimedes, esteemed Greek mathematican and physicist in the 3rd Century B.C.
Caravaggio arrived in Syracuse in 1608 after having escaped from prison in Malta. Here he painted The Burial of St. Lucy (the city's Patron Saint). Along the banks of the River Ciane grows Cyperus Papyrus Linneo, one of the innumerable species of the world's papyrus. Be sure to see the Papyrus Museum, inaugurated in 1989.

Syracuse, not only is one of the splendid cities of Sicily, with it's culture, but it was also the setting for the well-known film Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas of which below a more specific description of the film.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas (also known as Sinbad) is a 2003 American animated adventure film produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by DreamWorks Pictures. The film uses traditional animation with some computer animation. It was directed by Tim Johnson and Patrick Gilmore (in Gilmore's feature directorial debut) and written by John Logan, and stars the voices of Brad Pitt, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Joseph Fiennes. The film covers the story of Sinbad (voiced by Pitt), a pirate who travels the sea with his dog and his loyal friend Marina (voiced by Zeta-Jones) to recover the lost Book of Peace from Eris (voiced by Pfeiffer) to save his childhood friend, Prince Proteus (voiced by Fiennes), from accepting Sinbad's death sentence. The film blends elements from the 1001 Arabian Nights and classical myths.

The film was released on July 2, 2003 and received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the voice performances but criticized the CGI animation and storyline. Grossing $80.8 million on a $60 million budget, Sinbad was a box office bomb. DreamWorks suffered a $125 million loss on a string of films, which nearly bankrupted the company. It is, to date, the final DreamWorks film to use traditional animation, as the studio abandoned it in favor of computer animation. DreamWorks did, however, bring 2D animation back for the 5-minute short film in 2018.

Sinbad and his pirate crew attempt to steal the magical "Book of Peace" that protects the kingdom of Syracuse and hold it for ransom as one last job before retiring. Sinbad is surprised to see it is being protected while on board to Syracuse by Syracuse's Prince Proteus. Proteus was once Sinbad's best friend as a child, but Sinbad apparently drifted away from him, giving no reason why. Proteus then tells Sinbad if their friendship ever meant anything he can prove it. Sinbad tries to steal the book anyway, but is prevented when Cetus attacks the ship. The two work together to fight off Cetus and for a moment reaffirm their bond. Just when it seems the beast is defeated, Sinbad is dragged off the ship. Proteus goes to save Sinbad, but is stopped by his crew.

Drawn underwater by Cetus, Sinbad is saved by Eris, who offers him any boon he desires in exchange for bringing the Book of Peace to her realm of Tartarus. Sinbad and his crew go to Syracuse to steal the Book, but leaves without doing so after seeing Proteus with his fiancée, Lady Marina. Anticipating this, Eris impersonates Sinbad and steals the Book. Sinbad is sentenced to death, Proteus sends Sinbad to retrieve the Book instead, placing himself as a hostage, and Marina goes to make sure that Sinbad succeeds. To prevent them from succeeding, Eris sends a group of mythical sirens, who entrance and seduce the men aboard Sinbad's ship with their hypnotic singing voices, but do not affect Marina, who pilots the ship to safety. While on the ship, Marina and Sinbad's views clash with each other and fail to get along, especially when Marina gains the favor of the crew simultaneously. Eris then later sends a Roc which captures Marina. Sinbad tries to rescue her, but hampers Marina's escape. They are able to flee the Roc by chance, sliding down the snowy mountain in which they found themselves.

After these and other incidents, Sinbad and Marina talk in a brief moment of peace - Marina reveals that she's always dreamed of a life on the sea, and Sinbad reveals that he distanced himself from Proteus 10 years earlier because he fell in love with Marina, even though he knew she was engaged to Proteus. They suddenly then reach and enter Tartarus where Eris reveals that her plan was to maneuver Proteus into Sinbad's place, leaving Syracuse without an heir and as a result would spiral into chaos, but agrees to hand over the Book of Peace only if Sinbad truthfully tells whether he will return to Syracuse to accept blame and be executed if he does not get the Book. She gives him her word (an oath which not even a god can break) that she will honour the deal. When he answers that he will return, Eris calls him a liar, withholds the book, and returns him and Marina to the mortal world. Ashamed, Sinbad admits that Eris is right, truly believing deep down that he is a selfish, black-hearted liar. Marina pleads for Sinbad to leave, admitting her feelings for him, but ultimately Sinbad makes his decision.

In Syracuse, the time allotted to Sinbad has elapsed. Proteus readies himself to be beheaded, but at the last minute, Sinbad appears and takes his place. Before he is beheaded, however, an enraged Eris appears suddenly and saves Sinbad by shattering the executioner's sword. Sinbad, shocked but later pleased, realizes that this was still part of her test and teases that he has beaten her by proving his answer to be true after all. Eris is furious but cannot go back on her word and surrenders the Book to Sinbad before leaving to cause chaos elsewhere. With the true culprit revealed, Sinbad is absolved of the crime of stealing the Book and is now well-respected.

With the Book restored to Syracuse, Sinbad and his crew prepare to leave on another voyage, leaving Marina in Syracuse. Unbeknownst to him, Proteus sees that Marina has fallen deeply in love with Sinbad and life on the sea and releases her from their arranged engagement, sending her to join Sinbad's ship. Marina surprises Sinbad by revealing her presence on the ship just as it begins to sail, and the two share a kiss. Now together, they and the crew set out on another long voyage as the ship sails into the sunset.

Shortly after co-writing (1992), screenwriters Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio came up with the idea of adapting the story of Sinbad the Sailor in the vein of the story of Damon and Pythias before settling on a love triangle. They wrote a treatment that was inspired by screwball romantic comedy films in which Sinbad was depicted as a reserved apprentice mapmaker who joins Peri, a free-spirited female smuggler, on an adventure and fall in love. In July 1992, Disney had announced they were adapting the story into a potential animated feature.

Shortly after writing (2000), John Logan was approached by Jeffrey Katzenberg to write the script for an animated film. When he was offered the story of Sinbad, Logan researched the multiple tales of the character before settling on depicting the Greek and Roman versions. He described his first draft script as "very complex, the relationships were very adult - it was too intense in terms of the drama for the audience that this movie was aimed at."

Russell Crowe was originally going to voice Sinbad, but he dropped out due to scheduling problems. He was replaced by Brad Pitt, who wanted to make a film his nieces and nephews could see. He explained: "They can't get into my movies. People's heads getting cut off, and all that." Pitt had already tried to narrate DreamWorks' previous animated film Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, but "it didn't work," with Matt Damon taking over the role. Pitt's purist intentions worried him that his Missourian accent would not be suitable for his Middle Eastern character. Despite that, the film-makers persuaded him that his accent would lighten the mood.

Michelle Pfeiffer, who voices Eris, the goddess of chaos, had struggles with finding the character's villainies. Initially the character was "too sexual," then she lacked fun. After the third rewrite, Pfeiffer called Jeffrey Katzenberg and told him "You know, you really can fire me," but he assured her that this was just part of the process.

In January 2001, it was reported that DreamWorks Animation would completely transfer their animation workflow into using the Linux operating system. Previously, their animation and rendering software had used Silicon Graphics Image servers and workstations, but as their hardware began to show slowness, DreamWorks began looking for an alternate platform for superior optimal performance in order to save hardware costs. In 2002, they decided to partner with Hewlett-Packard for a three-year deal for which they used their dual-processor HP workstations and ProLiant servers running Red Hat Linux software. Starting with Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (2002), they had replaced its entire render farm with x86-based Linux servers.

With Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas, it was the first DreamWorks Animation production to completely utilized Linux software, in which more than 250 workstations were used. Starting with storyboards, the artists first sketched on paper to visualize the scene which are later edited into an animatic. For the character animation, the rough character sketches are passed through the ToonShooter software, which digitized the sketches. From that point, the animators can easily integrate the animation into existing scenes. Production software lead Derek Chan explained, "ToonShooter is an internal tool we wrote for Linux. It captures low resolution 640 x 480 line art that the artists use to time the film." The animated characters were then digitally colored using the Linux software application, InkAndPaint.

For the visual effects, DreamWorks Animation had used Autodesk Maya to create water effects. However, the rendering was found to be too photorealistic, in which senior software engineer for advanced R&D future films Galen Gornowicz sought to modify the effects to closely match the movie's visual development renderings. Craig Ring, who served as digital supervisor on the film, sought four major approaches to water used in the film. The approaches were to composite ripple distortion over the painted backgrounds; create fluid simulation; develop a rapid slashing technique used to create a surface and then send ripples through the surface; and better integrate the 3D visual effects with stylized, hand drawn splashes.

A PC game based on the film was released by Atari, who worked closely with one of the film's directors, Patrick Gilmore. It was released before the VHS and DVD release of the film. Burger King released six promotional toys at the time of the film's release, and each toy came with a "Constellation Card". Hasbro produced a series of Sinbad figures as part of its G.I. JOE action figure brand. The figures were 12" tall and came with a mythical monster.

Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas was released on DVD and VHS on November 18, 2003 by DreamWorks Home Entertainment. The DVD included a six-minute interactive short animated film Cyclops Island, featuring an encounter with the eponymous Cyclops. In July 2014, the film's distribution rights were purchased by DreamWorks Animation from Paramount Pictures (owners of the pre-2005 DreamWorks Pictures library) and transferred to 20th Century Fox before reverting to Universal Studios in 2018; Universal Pictures Home Entertainment subsequently released the film on Blu-ray Disc on June 4, 2019 with the Cyclops Island short removed.

Cyclops Island (also known as Sinbad and the Cyclops Island) is a traditionally animated interactive short film that acts as a sequel to Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas, taking place shortly after the events of the previous film.

Instead of travelling to Fiji, Sinbad and his crew decide to spend their vacation on the tropical island of Krakatoa. While attempting to find a source of fresh water on the island, Marina and Spike run into a tribe of Cyclops who they have to defeat with the help of Sinbad, Kale and Rat. When Sinbad dislodges a large boulder during the fight, a volcano erupts and the island goes down in flames. Marina then suggests looking for a nicer destination for their next holiday, such as Pompeii.

While watching the short film on DVD, the viewer can choose to follow different characters to see different angles of the same story. The viewer can follow Sinbad, the duo of Kale and Rat, Marina, or Spike. Brad Pitt, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Dennis Haysbert, and Adriano Giannini all reprised their roles from the original film. On VHS releases, the short film takes place after the movie ends before the credits roll and is placed in its entirety.

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 45% based on 128 reviews with an average rating of 5.63/10. The site's consensus reads: "Competent, but not magical." Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating, has a score of 48 based on 33 reviews indicating "mixed or average reviews".

Kirk Honeycutt of The Hollywood Reporter praised the film writing that " Sinbad is a cartoon that does what matinee moviemakers of old never had the resources to do: allow their imagination to run amok in an ancient world that never existed -- but should have." He praised the animation and backgrounds as "lushly rendered by the animation artists, displaying details not only from the world according to Ray Harryhausen; but from the Greco-Roman world and Middle East. As with all good animation, these serve as backdrops to the comedy and adventure the characters encounter every second." Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film 3​ stars and concluded that " Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas is another worthy entry in the recent renaissance of animation, and in the summer that has already given us Finding Nemo, it's a reminder that animation is the most liberating of movie genres, freed of gravity, plausibility, and even the matters of lighting and focus. There is no way that Syracuse could exist outside animation, and as we watch it, we are sailing over the edge of the human imagination".

Claudia Puig, reviewing for , summarized that " Sinbad is a swashbuckling adventure saga that probably will appeal more to older kids. But it's not a wondrous tale. The effects are competent, the action has exciting moments and the story is interesting enough, but the parts don't add up to a compelling sum." Todd McCarthy of opined that "A passably entertaining animated entry from DreamWorks that's closer to The Road to El Dorado than to Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas tries too strenuously to contemporize ancient settings and characters for the sake of connecting with modern kids." Elvis Mitchell of The New York Times panned the film suggesting the film featured a "boatload of celebrities slumming through another not-quite-thawed adventure story." Additionally, he claimed "More thought and care were lavished on the design of the monsters than on the hand-drawn lead characters, who have the same kind of sketchy features as the stars of those animated Bible story cartoons sold on late-night infomercials."

There was additional criticism for the film's departure from its Arabic origin. Jack Shaheen, a critic of Hollywood's portrayal of Arabs, believed that "the studio feared financial and possibly political hardships if they made the film's hero Arab", and claimed that "If no attempt is made to challenge negative stereotypes about Arabs, the misperceptions continue. It's regrettable that the opportunity wasn't taken to change them, especially in the minds of young people". At one point, Shaheen asked Katzenberg to include some references to Arabic culture in the film. According to Shaheen, "[h]e didn't seem surprised that I mentioned it, which presumably means that it was discussed early on in the development of the film."

On the film's opening weekend, the film earned $6.9 million and $10 million since its Wednesday start. It reached sixth place at the box office and faced early competition to Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, Finding Nemo, and . The week after its release, the similarly themed film Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl premiered, in which Sinbad grossed $4.3 million finishing seventh. The film closed on October 9, 2003, after earning $26.5 million in the United States and Canada and $54.3 million overseas, for a worldwide total of $80.7 million.

Following the film's box office run, DreamWorks Animation suffered a $125 million loss on other projects that weren't offset by Sinbad, leading Katzenberg to comment, "I think the idea of a traditional story being told using traditional animation is likely a thing of the past."

A video game based on the film developed by Small Rockets and published by Atari was released on October 21, 2003 for Microsoft Windows.

Hieron II had it built on the site of a pre-existing theatre whose history is associated with Aeschylus of Eleusis (c 524-456 BC), the first of the great Greek tragedicians, Epicharmus (6C-5C BC), the Syracusan father of Greek comedy, and their contemporaries Phormides and Deinolochus. This earlier teatre witnessed the premiere of Aeschylus' tragedy "The Persians" and, in 476 BC, "The Women of Etna", written to celebrate the foundation of Etna by Hieron I the Etnean. The name of the architect who built this earlier theatre, Demokopos, has been handed down to us by the mime-writer Sophron (late 5C BC). In Roman times the theatre was altered so as to adapt it to the performance of circus and water games. During the reign of Charles V, the ancient stones of the theatre, amphitheatre and the Altar of Hieron II were used to build the fortifications on the island of Ortygia, suffering the same fate as many other noble monuments of ancient Sicily.
Strabo, the Greek historian and man of letters born in Amasea, Pontus (c 64 BC), who spent long years in Rome during the first Imperial Age between Augustus and Tiberius, thus wrote about the foundation of Syracuse in his valuable treatise of Italic geography: "Syracuse was founded by Archias, who sailed from Corinth about the same time that Naxos and Megara were colonised. It is said that Archias went to Delphi at the same time as Myscellus, and when they were consulting the oracle, the god asked them whether they chose wealth or health; accordingly, the god granted to the former to found Syracuse and to the latter Croton. And it actually came to pass that the Crotoniates took up their adobe in a city that was exceedingly healthful, as I have related, and that Syracuse fell into such exceptional wealth that the name of the Syracuse was spread abroad in a proverb applied to the excessively stravagant - "The tithe of the Syracusans would not be sufficient for them". [...] And the city grew, both on account of the fertility of the soil and on account of the natural excellence of its harbours. Furthermore, the men of Syracuse proved to have the gift of leadership, with the result that when the Syracusans were ruled by tyrants they lorded it over the rest, and when set free themselves they set free those who were oppressed by the barbarians". (Strabo, Geography, Italy: VI, 2. 3-4, transl. by H. L. Jones, Harvard University Press) .
Historical references to the period following the foundation of the city, up to the early 5C BC, have been lost. During this obscure period, political power was wielded by the "gamoroi", aristocrats and landowners, expelled by a popular democratic revolt at the beginning of the 5C BC. The city's great historical epoch began when Gelon, of the Deinomenids of Gela, came to power; he provided for the return of the aristocrats and set himself at the head at the Greek settlement of Sicily against the Carthaginians, who aimed at conquering the whole island. Under Hieron I, the city grew more powerful and consolidated its supremacy over the western Mediterranean following the naval victory off Cumae in 474 BC over the Etruscans.

Already frequented by Greek and Phoenician merchants since ancient times, Syracuse was founded in 734 BC. by Corinthian colonists and enjoyed a period of great political and cultural fortune like Athens and Alexandria. With the advent of the Dinomenidi, the city was enlarged and, although targeted by the Carthaginians, it spent a period of particular splendor until the Roman conquest in 212 BC.

Since then began the decline of Syracuse which in the following centuries was conquered by Arabs, Byzantines, Normans, Swabians and in the fourteenth century by the Aragonese.
