Vittoria jazz festival: spring in Sicily is tinged with music

There are so many reasons to enjoy a holiday in Sicily in spring. After all, with nature in bloom, this island is really capable of giving its best. And if you are a fan of music, of good music, then we can suggest another great reason: the 2018 edition of the Vittoria Jazz festival, which will be held in Vittoria from 2 to 17 June.
