well first you'd have to pay a considerable sum to have the house(s) restored. then there'd be the eternal tug-o-war with the italian craftsmen who can't seem to finnish anything on time.

finally, if you got past all that, most native sicilians have no education and don't speak a word of english, let alone proper italian.

that said, the island itself has a lot of potential. it "just" needs to be probably developed. if we could start an MBTI retreat there, it would be great :)
