Palermo train station had a few of these signs posted. The bad guys all wore masks. My favorite was a little child asking for help while her accomplice comes from behind.

Catania theater
This ancient amphitheater was home to houses until the 30's, and the perimeter walls were homes until the second half of the 20th century. The building on the right still has homes in it (it still had clothes hanging to dry). The stage was flooded at some point for water choreography. This is a great example of people living in their history, setting these ruins aside seems a very modern action.
Fornace Penna in Sampieri
Another montalbano site, used a few times. You can take as many risks as you like and enter the grounds. We got there just after twilight.
Villa Romana del Casale
I will just add one of these, the whole site has been well photographed and cataloged by better cameras than my phone. Cool place, but a bit of a trek from Ragusa.
Donnalucata lungomare
This is a few blocks from where we stayed. Donnalucata was a filming location for Montalbano, he meets Ingrid here sometimes.
Donnafugata interior
This board room had the crests of all the sicilian nobility. The inside was a clothing and furniture museum from the Belle epoque. Beth got a lot of mileage from the clothing displays.
Scicli tour of the mayors office
The actual mayors office is also the questura di montelusa filming site. This is Moses Rescued from the River.
Scicli hilltop
Scicli has three churches or abbeys atop three neighboring hills. This on lit up marvelously at night. You can drive up this hill, but we didn't.
Porto Empedocle
We stopped for lunch on our way to Realmonte. This is what much of the newer parts of Sicily look like.
Terrasini view of the harbor from our room
The palm beach hotel rooms have balconies overlooking the harbor. The hotel in technically in Cinisi at the maggagiari beach, but Terrasini starts with the hill on the left.
