Valley of Angels

Angelo and Angela have lived together with their daughters Hybla, Lua and Syria, basing them in South-Eastern Sicily, since 2005. They chose this place to build their home and their life. A simple life. They chose to be careful about the food they eat and the education they give their children who were all born at home.
