Subjects : the city of Marsala is famous for the landing of Garibaldi and the thousand and for the homonymous wine. The subjects that can be photographed are many, and important both from a historical and naturalistic point of view, just think of the pond islands including the famous island of Mozia, which is a real open-air museum, the Infersa mill, the salt pans of the Stagnone, which at dawn and sunset offer a wonderful show. Interesting to visit, upon reservation, are also the numerous wineries, such as the historic Florio Cellars. Of particular interest for local history is the Salt Museum, inside the Mulino Infersa, which includes a tour and exhibitions on the collection of sea salt and the Baglio Anselmi Archaeological Museum, in the latter the wreck of the Punic ship is preserved, and it is very beautiful to photograph also the location.

Recommended equipment : In my opinion it does not take a particular equipment, but I would recommend in addition to the camera body and a good tripod also a wide-angle lens to photograph the salt pans and a backpack to store everything so as to have your hands free to enjoy a glass of marsala or a nice granita.

Best months : The mild climate of Sicily allows you to visit its beauties at all times of the year but it is certainly preferable the long period that goes from April to October, in which it is easier to take the boat that makes you go around the lagoon and that takes you to visit the islands.

How to get there : Reaching Marsala is not difficult, as the airport of Trapani Birgi is very close, from here you can take a taxi or a bus.

Visits : The city and the salt pans can be visited without any entrance or reservation, even for the boat it is not necessary to book, which serves only if you want to go around the lagoon in the evening with the aperitif included. The entrance ticket is necessary for the Salt Museum and for the Baglio Anselmi museum, the reservation is necessary only for the cellars where the visit also includes the tasting.
