Sicily
Riccione on the mainland has long been the capital of the Italian dance music scene, but over the last 15 years Sicily's house music has flourished, with lots of new DJs, groups and producers, and late-night beach bars and clubs. The scene really kicked off in the 90s with a famous dance group called Ti.Pi.Cal (after its three members Daniele Tignino, Riccardo Piparo and Vincenzo Callea). Sicilian music is passionate, sexy and sensual. For beach bars playing house music to a relaxed, Peroni-sipping crowd try Mondello beach near Palermo.
For clubbing, Catania is a beautiful city with great nightclubs in the port area. Also try Frutto Proibito in the inland town of Enna and Koala Maxi near Ragusa in the south. Don't miss the outdoor summer parties at Marabù, in Giardini Naxos, a small coastal town near Taormina.
