Matt Bird - or Matteo - as he is sometimes known in Sicily, first visited Noto in 2021. Like many people, he quickly fell in love with the place, its people and the way of life.
As a prolific author of more than twenty-five books, he naturally began writing blogs and books about Sicily.
He is also the CEO of PublishU, which coaches people to write their books and publishes and markets them worldwide.
