Founded by the Corinthians in 734 BC, Syracuse quickly rose to become one of the most powerful cities of the ancient Mediterranean. Home to the mathematician Archimedes, admired by Plato, and rival to Athens, it was a centre of innovation, strategy, and cultural exchange. Over the centuries, Syracuse absorbed layers of Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Arab, and Norman influence, each leaving its mark on the city’s architecture, traditions, and identity. Today, its historic heart, Ortigia, with its Baroque piazzas, narrow alleys, and vibrant markets, stands as a living testament to resilience and reinvention - qualities deeply connected to the themes of leadership and transformation.

This three-day itinerary draws on that legacy to create the ideal setting for team building. Walking the streets of Ortigia invites participants to adopt the mindset of explorers, curious and open to new perspectives. Co-working in a historic palazzo connects innovation to tradition, while immersion in the Feast of Santa Lucia demonstrates the power of community, ritual, and renewal.
