Sicilian Authenticity Like You've Never Experienced Before
The name Mario IGT is not just a signature.
In Italian food and wine culture, IGT stands for Indicazione Geografica Tipica – a designation that guarantees the origin, quality, and authenticity of a product deeply tied to its land.
Just like a fine IGT wine tells the story of its territory with every sip, Mario tells the story of Sicily through every experience, every encounter, every detail.
For him, IGT is an identity.
It’s the promise that what you’ll live with him will be genuinely, deeply, unmistakably Sicilian.
A Sicily that is real, refined, and heartfelt — told by someone born in Erice, raised among the scents of Marsala’s vineyards, and shaped by a lifetime of travels that only deepened his love for his homeland.
Not Just a Trip. A Signature Experience.
Sicily West by Mario is the result of a conscious return.
After an international career as an entrepreneur, university professor, and consultant in marketing, finance, and emerging technologies, Mario Figlioli chose to dedicate his experience, vision, and sensitivity to those who want to discover Sicily from the inside out.
Today, with a unique approach that blends art, culture, food & beverage, wellness, and personal growth, Mario designs tailor-made journeys for discerning, curious travelers seeking something far deeper than the typical itinerary.
A Sicilian Soul with an International Vision
With degrees in Economics and Architecture, an MBA in Management, and a Master in Design and Technology, Mario is also a university professor in Artificial Intelligence, a published author, and the founder of innovative ventures such as Kulassa and Invtron DAO.
But beyond the titles lies a traveler of the soul, an explorer of meaning —
a man who chose to return to his homeland to tell its story in his own way, through experiences that speak to the heart.
