As stated in the Rick Steves' book SICILY, Salvatore "Sal: Coppola is not only a personable, knowledgeable driver of the area but he actually does help track down Sicilian roots! My sister and I had four hours to visit Catalafimi, tour the town, and see the cemetery for more ancestral research. Sadly, we arrived on a Sunday and the municipal offices as well as the local cemetery were closed. This did not stop Sal who used a contact on our paperwork to track down other sites where our grandfather may have walked, including the church where our grandfather was baptized! Sal is highly resourceful and knowledgeable about his island. In fact as we sat in the car figuring out our next move as to tracing our family, Sal spoke with a man who was passing by. In no time flat, Sal's conversation with him revealed there were still people with our name in town and this person lived 'up the street' from the square. The 3 of us were pretty amazed. You will have no worries when hiring Sal as he is that rare guide who's eager to share his love of Sicily with you. We plan to return to Sicily in the hopes of doing further research and when we do, we'll request Sal. Do not hesitate in contacting him for your driving needs when in Sicily. 5 Star Rating for him.
