Sicilian Roots Immersions

Two ways to live Sicily.

One for adults who want a week (or two) of harvest, culture, and the real Sicily — led by Christopher Linea. One for young people who want a semester or a full year at a Sicilian Liceo — guided by Christopher Linea Jr., who lived the program himself. A father-and-son operation, on the ground in Sicily.

Two immersions. One island.

Both programs are built on the same idea — that the best way to know Sicily is to live in it, alongside the people who’ve been living it for generations. The difference is time, and who it’s for.

A father-and-son operation

Christopher Linea. Chris Linea Jr.

Christopher Sr. runs the adult tours out of the family’s olive grove in the Nebrodi hills. Christopher Jr. runs the academic year — a program he lived himself at seventeen, at the same Liceo he now sends other students to.

Both immersions share the same idea — that Sicily is one of the most extraordinary living cultures in Europe, and that the only way to know it is to live inside it. The rest is a matter of how long you have — and who you are.
