But the city has a long and<strong> interesting history<\/strong> dating as far back as 716 BC, when it was founded by the Greeks. Throughout the centuries it was contended by many due to its strategic location, and it was also praised by poets like Homer for its beautiful landscape.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the retreat with the artisan about?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.studiainitalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/mosaic-workshop-milazzo-1.jpg\" alt=\"mosaic-workshop-milazzo (1)\" class=\"wp-image-90619\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.studiainitalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/mosaic-workshop-milazzo-1.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.studiainitalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/mosaic-workshop-milazzo-1-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The artisan experience in Milazzo consists of a 5-day <strong>mosaic workshop<\/strong> that takes place outdoors, in the <strong>lovely gardens<\/strong> of a historical venue.
