Each photograph features iconic locations or scenes from different cities within the region. The top left corner shows "Trapani," with an aerial tramway overlooking a coastal area. Next to it on the right side is Catania with its bustling street life and historic architecture.
Below Trapani, there's Gela featuring what appears to be a beachfront promenade. In the center of the collage stands Taormina, highlighted by "Carro Sicilianò" which suggests traditional Sicilian carriage rides in front of an ancient Roman theater backdrop. To its right is Caltanissetta with picturesque town square architecture.
Moving down further left from Gela, we see Siracusa's archaeological site and amphitheater ruins indicative of the region’s rich history. Below that on the bottom row starts Trapani again at a different angle showing more coastal scenery but focusing closer to water.
