Places to see in ( Marsala - Italy )
Marsala is an Italian town located in the Province of Trapani in the westernmost part of Sicily. Marsala is the most populated town in its province and the fifth in Sicily. The town is famous for the docking of Giuseppe Garibaldi on 11 May 1860 (the Expedition of the Thousand) and for its Marsala wine. A feature of the area is the Stagnone Lagoon Natural Reserve — a marine area with salt ponds. Marsala is built on the ruins of the ancient Carthaginian city of Lilybaeum, and includes in its territory the archaeological site of the island of Motya, an ancient Phoenician town.
Situated at the extreme western point of Sicily, the town was founded on Lilibeo Cape from where the Aegadian Islands and the Stagnone Lagoon can be seen. The territory of Marsala, 241 square kilometres (93 sq mi), has a rich cultural and landscape heritage; its area includes the Stagnone Lagoon, a Natural Reserve in which is located the island of Mozia.
In 397 BCE the Phoenician colony of Motya on the southwestern coast of Sicily was invaded and destroyed by the Syracusan tyrant Dionysius I. The survivors founded a town on the mainland nearby that they called Lilybaion (Lilybaeum in Latin), The town that looks at Libya, on the site of modern-day Marsala. The Punic fortress Lilybaion was never conquered although it was besieged several times, e.g. by Pyrrhus of Epirus and by the Romans.
Ravaged by Vandals during the 5th century CE, the town was annexed in the 6th century to Justinian's Byzantine Empire. In this period the town was struck by dysentery, raided by pirates, and neglected by Constantinople. Since the end of the 11th century, the area has been conquered by Swedish, Norman, Angevin and Aragonese troops. During this time, Marsala became wealthy, primarily through trade.

Pizzería Güerrin - our favorite pizza in Buenos Aires, Argentina Travel Video Transcript:
Check out all the pizzas we can choose from. I think we have to order the specialty for sure.
Another day, another slice of pizza. Today we're at Pizzería Güerrin, one of the most famous pizzerias in all of Buenos Aires. This is one of Sam's favorite spots in the whole city and we're here for lunch. We've placed our order and we're waiting for the pizza to arrive.
Excited to be here? Oh, yeah. This place is an institution. It has been open since 1932 and just as of last year they sold their 25th million pizza. Can you believe that? 25 million pizzas. That is a lot of pizza. That is insane. And this place is kind of special for me because my first time in Buenos Aires was actually back in 2010. And I was an ultra hardcore backpacker at the time and I stumbled upon this place through a recommendation and I came here very frequently. So this place has a lot of sentimental value and it is great to be back here again.
So the pizza has arrived and we have to start with the specialty of the house. It is called pizza Güerrin.
Oh, wow. Ooey gooey goodness? And it is a little bit greasy with all of the cheese. That is some really thick cheese they have. So it is really nice but let me actually get some pepper in there. So I can tell you if it is good or not. That is nice. Wow. You're going to have to try it and give me your opinion.
The pizza master.
So next up is Fugazetta. And Fugazetta is normally onions but this Fugazetta with ham and cheese. Look at all of the onions on here. And you can see the ham right there. That is awesome.
Mmmm. Wow. You know what if you think the first slice of pizza had a lot of cheese this one has I would swear like double or triple. Like it is just overloaded with cheese. And for someone who likes cheese as much as me that is a very good thing.
Okay, so this is a bit unusual. This is called fainá. And I always see people eating it when they order pizza but like it is not actually a slice of pizza. I asked the waiter what it was made of and I think he said chickpeas but I can't remember though. It was a while ago.
Um, so yeah it is kind of like a paste and it has been shaped to look like a pizza, and they slice it into little triangles. This is what it looks like. Can you see? Yeah.
So yeah, I don't know. It is kind of like a side order when you order pizza. It's cheaper than the pizza slices? It is. It is so much cheaper and this is my first time seeing it anywhere in the world. So I don't know, maybe it is some kind of Argentinian invention. I'm not sure. If you've ever tried fainá before let me know about it.
Yeah, we kind of ordered that on a whim. Yeah. But I like it.
I do like it.
And last but certainly not least - Napoletana. And this is probably my favorite kind of like classic kind of pizza slice. Mine too. So you have to share. Yes. Well, we'll think about that. Oh wow, the tomato just dropped off. Let's grab that back. So what really makes this like one of my favorite slices is the fact that it has these big thickly cut juicy tomatoes put on top. And that just makes it like extra juicy.
So we've paid the bill. It is now time for price point. How much did these slices of pizza cost? So in terms of the slices it is between 19 and 27 Pesos. So at current exchange rate with the US dollar you're looking at about say between $1.35 all the way up to $1.90. So really affordable. Come here with a big appetite and order as many slices as you can because this is the kind of place where you're going to want to walk out full. Yes, follow Sam's example.
This is part of our Travel in Argentina series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Argentine culture, Argentine arts, Argentine foods, Argentine religion, Argentine cuisine and Argentine people.

life in pompeii, post-communist europe and 18th century albanian culture (short travel documentary)
For this part of my Europe tour (see my Rome, Italy vlog here: we visit the Pompeii ruins in Naples as well as Tirana and Kruje in Albania. Pompeii was an ancient Roman city that was buried beneath 4-6m of volcanic ash in 79 AD after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Although this eruption killed thousands, the ashes preserved the city and it is now a historical sight. On this part of the tour, we learned about the day to day life of the people in Pompeii based on the artifacts and ruins that were preserved in the eruption.
After this tour, we travelled to the seaside city of Bari and took an overnight ferry to Durres, Albania. This developing, small country of about 3 million people is full of diverse culture and rich history. The area was conquered by the Romans in the 3rd century, and then by the Ottomans in the 15th century. You can see the influence of Roman, Greek and Italian civilizations in the architecture and language. About 55% of the population in Albania is Muslim. In 1939, the Kingdom of Albania was invaded by Italy and was a part of former Yugoslavia. After the defeat of Nazi Germany, the People’s Socialist Republic of Albania was founded. This began a communist era which lasted until 1991. Since then, the country has undergone a state of transition that is visible in the capital city of Tirana, where communist buildings are still present alongside more recent buildings.
It is truly humbling to have even partially experienced the struggles of the Albanian people, who continue to rebuild their country following the revolutions of 1990. The most inspiring part of it all is perhaps the unique history and culture that has been preserved, despite being politically and socially transformed during the communist era. The Albanians that I met during my short visit were extremely friendly and proud of their beautiful country. One of the most memorable encounters that I had was buying a keychain from a young man in Tirana. He had a small collection of souvenirs and I asked if I could give him $5 for the keychain, since I did not have any local currency. He insisted that I take two extra souvenirs with me, and although this exchange was seemingly small, it was very powerful for me. The old town of Kruje is absolutely stunning, and it is located within the towering Albanian mountains.
