There is tons of hunting in Italy, and Italians do hunt in Sicily (part of Italy, not it's own nation). There is no commercial hunting available in Sicily, or at least there was not when I lived there. There are wildboar and game birds on Sicily, never figured out how to get a hunt going.

You want to hunt in Tuscany anyway. There are a few outfitters in Tuscany and Tyrol.

Though you will find that there are Italian Sicilians that do not speak Italian, but only speak Siciliano (Sih-chill-y-iano which is not a dialect but a ancient mixture of languages).

I used to live in Syracusa (Syracuse) and work in the valley between Syracusa and Catania on Naval Air Station Sigonella. If memory serves I got there in 2004 or 2005 and left in 2008. So any knowledge I have is 10 years old.

As far as the Catania side of tourism, you want to see this in Syracusa; Greek theater, Roman Circus Maximus, museum and Ear of Syracusa (thought it smells like urine). Catania has some interesting sights and the city square, lava flows and Viking castle are worthwhile trips.

Agragento Greek ruins are very worthwhile.

If you are hunting in Northern Italy you'll be there in the Fall or Winter. Sicily gets hot. November would be good, but cold. If you hate crowds you'll have most of Italy to yourself in November, January and February.

For mainland Italy, I'd visit:

1. Saint Nicholas Cathedral in Bari (where Santa's bones are entombed).
2. Mountains in Tyrol.
3. Roman Colliseum (you will be dissapointed, but do it anyway).
4. Roman Archeology Museum
5. Naples sucks, but it is close to Pompeii Ruins


This list is pretty good https://www.voyagetips.com/en/things-to-do-in-sicily/

Oh one other thing, Italy has a lot of petty crime. So watch your bags, pack light and keep young men away from you.

Giorgi y Graziela are wonderful hosts. The food and accomodations are excellent. We did driven birds and boar. They are at DSC every year. PM me if you have any questions.

Safe travel.....Larry

In Sicily ther'is a sort of game farm, fenced, pretty unique in the region. His name is Baglio Trinità. Wild boar, muflon, red stag... You are free to contact me if you need the contact.

My Wife is dying to go to Italy. I do not want to go to a Italy.

I tell her, “Sweetheart, the Popes do not live in Rome during the summer time.”

If someone knows some free range Chamois within striking distance of Milan, please tell me.

Still Tyrol, but on the other side of the border.

I don't know that anyone in Tyrol Suid is offering chamois for international hunters.

You may try as well with

Edelweiss Hotel in Braies, South Tyrol

The owner is the president of the local hunters as well as the owner (or manager) of a private hunt in Eastern Tyrol with chamois and deer (both, red and roe)
ContactRed Faceffice@hoteledelweiss.info

The hotel, in a fantastic area, is at 5 hours by car from Milan.
The netsite should help you in persuading your wife to go there.
