Known locally in Sicilian as San Paulu, Solarino holds an unexpected connection to the world of combat sports as the ancestral home of Australian martial artist Sam Greco, whose father emigrated from here to Melbourne.
Arriving from the coast just 15 kilometers west of Syracuse, visitors find a municipality of nearly 7,900 residents. Sharing borders with Palazzolo Acreide and Sortino, the town serves as a quiet geographical waypoint roughly 190 kilometers southeast of Palermo.
