Located on the island paradise that is Sicily, Ragusa is a city shrouded in both history and natural beauty, exuding an intoxicating charm few can resist. Tracing its roots back to the 2nd millennium BC, Ragusa was once a Greek colony, hosting the ancient city of Hybla Heraea. Today, this glorious city is part of the UNESCO World Heritage site known as the Val di Noto, a testament to its architectural grandiosity and cultural significance.

From occupations by the Carthaginians, Byzantines, and Arabs, to its flourishing under the Normans, Ragusa's past is ardently alive in every crevice of its limestone façades. The tragic earthquake of 1693 is ghosted in the city's labyrinthine streets and resplendent Baroque structures, which were mostly built in the aftermath of the disaster. Presently, this historic gem is the bustling hub of southern Italy, with its wealth of companies confirming it as the region's financial fulcrum.
