Giuseppe and Salvatore Leonardi, owners of Picciolo Golf Club in Castiglione di Sicilia nearby Mount Etna, affirm the necessity of promoting a system for a different type of tourism in Sicily.
One of these golf courses is scheduled to open in Carlentini, between Catania and Siracusa, in 2010. The golf course should raise by the ocean with beautiful breathtaking views. The other golf course is planned in Trappitello nearby Taormina.
