Ragusa to Modica - Vintage FIAT 500s
September 29, 2015
What an experience!
We had an opportunity to ride in vintage Fiat 500s from Ragusa to Modica. Organized by our tour director Maurizio, the drivers picked us up at our hotel and then drove the winding road to Modica.
During the original introduction we were shown the 6 Fiats from the 1960s, their engines, and the limited space. Each vehicle carried 3 people.
There were no seat belts, just the tight leather seats. The engines worked hard going up the hills but in the tight streets of both cities, these cars can maneuver. There were some white knuckle moments but it was a superb experience.

SUMMARY
=======
Modica [ˈmɔːdika] (Sicilian: Muòrica, Greek: Μότουκα, Motouka, Latin: Mutyca or Motyca) is a city and comune of 54.456 inhabitants in the Province of Ragusa, Sicily, southern Italy. The city is situated in the Hyblaean Mountains.
Modica has neolithic origins and it represents the historical capital of the area which today almost corresponds to the Province of Ragusa. Until the 19th century it was the capital of a County that exercised a so wide political, economical and cultural influence as it has been counted among the most powerful feuds of the Mezzogiorno.
Rebuilt following the devastating earthquake of 1693, its architecture has been recognised as providing outstanding testimony to the exuberant genius and final flowering of Baroque art in Europe and, along with other towns in the Val di Noto, is part of UNESCO Heritage Sites in Italy.
Inside the Studio: Dario Moschetta (Italy)
One of the most exciting way to discover new artwork is to see artists in action inside their studios. To help you get to know the many talented artists on Saatchi Art, each week we invite you to preview an artist's works-in-progress, learn about what inspires them, and see their work hanging on their studio walls or in recent exhibitions.
