We are Giovanni & Angela, we welcome you to "Casa Nagalè ". The name Nagalè is the anagram of the name of Angela, my partner with whom we have been living together for over 35 years. Two years ago we fell in love with this magnificent place: Ortigia. A quiet place, where the rhythms are slow and peaceful while time is marked by the bright colors of the hours of the day. We are both retired and have put all our love into making this home as comfortable as possible. Having you as guests repays us from the hard work and commitment we have lavished. It is with joy that we urge you to enjoy this house and the places that surround it. We usually live in Catania and occupy our free time with our little passions: Angela loves to restore furniture and old objects found in local markets, while I dedicate myself to Computer Art by elaborating photographic shots that I capture, during our travels. Another common passion is Sicilian cuisine and good wine, which we gladly share with our friends.

The house is located in the Giudecca district, which takes its name from the street that branches off from Via Maestranza and which borders, with Via Alagona, towards the sea, the neighborhood that once housed the large Jewish community of Syracuse. Not much is left of the original buildings and environments. In the basement of the Alla Giudecca hotel, however, it is possible to explore, with guided tours, an ancient miqweh, a system of tanks fed by running water, once connected to the now-disappeared synagogue, where ritual baths were performed. In via della Giudecca, at number 17, there is the Puppet Theater, where performances of Sicilian folk tales are held; and a little further on, in Piazza S. Giuseppe, the Aretuseo dei Pupi Museum is dedicated to this street theater tradition. In via Alagona, to the NN. 41-45, in the eighteenth-century Palazzo Corpaci, once the seat of the Confraternity of the Holy Spirit, there is instead the Cinema Museum; set up on three floors, it displays over 20,000 pieces of repertoire. Other spaces host temporary exhibitions, a screening room and a video library. Today the Giudecca district, especially in the evening, is very lively with locals.
