Do you speak English? I found your blog when trying to trace the exact location of a famous watercolour by Ellis Cornelia Knight. It depicts Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson, Emma, Lady Hamilton, Sir William Hamilton and others. My husband is the great, great, great, great grandson of Horatio Nelson and Emma Hamilton and we hope to visit Sicily later this year. I would love to take him to the Anapo river to see if we can find this place. You can see the sketch at http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1253977/Scandalous-affair-Nelson-mistress-seen-time-rare-watercolour-sketch.html. The caption on the sketch says: “River Anapus with the ruins of the temple of Olympiche Jupiter”, and it shows a rowing boat on the river Anapo, with the ruins of the Temple of Zeus (Syracuse Olympieion) to their left and a bridge ahead.
