- Footloose in Italy 5 ~ Touring Southern Italy and Sicily
In their 5th visit to Italy, UK filmmakers Debra and Dave travel 900 miles across the very south: featuring fairytale pointy houses in Alberobello, cave dwellings in Matera, the Pollino National Park, then top resorts of Tropea, Scilla and a ghost town. Touring Sicily includes Cefalu, Palermo in a tuktuk taxi, Valley of the Temples, Baroque Ragusa and Syracuse. Film ends with a visit to lovely Taormina and an amazing volcano trip to Etna.
I normally do not leave comments but by far one of the best narrated videos I had seen! Excellent research and profesionalism! I am looking forward to see many more videos from you… Great work!

In 15th century Spain King Ferdinand and Isabella were converting Muslims and Jews forcibly as part of the Reconquista of Spain from Muslim rulers of al Andalusia. A little thing that came to be called the Inquisition. Anyone not kissing the ring of the Catholic Inquisitor was considered a heretic and put to death. The Sultan Mehmed ii was not a fan of the Inquisition and so the General Gedik Ahmed offered the citizenry of Otranto the same deal offered by King Ferdinand Isabella to non Catholics, accept Islam or else. 12,000 were massacred. Mehmed II was on his way to end the papacy and thereby save the world from Catholic Christianity. Coptic and Levantine Christians were completely welcome in all other parts of the Muslim word as were Jews and Animists. Due to the death of the Sultan Mehmed the Ottomans were forced to retreat to Albania.
