Sicily Train and Boat Strike

Saturday April 19, 2008
A strike by train personnel is scheduled for Sicily on Monday, April 21, from 9 am to 5 pm. When there are major rail strikes, other transportation strikes often coincide. According to Sicily Guide, boats crossing to the mainland from Messina will also be on strike. If you're planning to travel to or from Sicily on April 21, it might be wise to reschedule your train or boat travel. Check at a Sicily train station for updates on the strike, sciopero.

If you're in Messina, be sure to check out Messina's interesting bell tower. Read more about it on Italian Notebook.
