Noto (Sicilian: Notu; Latin: Netum) is a city and comune in the Province of Siracusa, Sicily, Italy. It is 32 kilometres (20 mi) southwest of the city of Siracusa at the foot of the Iblean Mountains and gives its name to the surrounding are,Val di Noto. In 2002 Noto and its church were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The older town, Noto Antica, lies 8 kilometres (5 mi) directly north on Mount Alveria. It was ancient Netum, a city of Sicel origin, left to Hiero II by the Romans by the treaty of 263 BCE and mentioned by Cicero as a foederala citilas (Verr. v. 51, 133), and by Pliny as Latinae conditionis (Hist. Nat. iii. 8. 14). According to legend, Daedalus stopped here after his flight over the Ionian Sea, as well as Hercules, after his seventh task.
In the Roman era, it opposed praetor Verres. In 866 it was conquered by the Arabs, who elevated to a capital city of one of three districts of the island (the Val di Noto). In 1091, it became the last Muslim stronghold in Sicily to fall to the Christians. Later it was a rich Norman city.

Tudo passou como um raio
veio em forma de miragem
como quem tem sede no deserto.
Pode só ter sido um flerte
que ficou pra sempre
sonho que eu não sei ao certo.
Eu não sei lidar com isso
eu só sei que é preciso dar um basta pra tudo que já passou.
nossa vida é só de ida desde o dia da partida.
ainda sobraram vestigios, algo ainda ficou.
Por que não valerá
a chance de saber?
Se foi real, então
venha reconstruir
só quem pode é você.
Nossos erros não cessaram.
Nossos sonhos desabaram.
E eu aqui pensando:
qual é a vida que eu quero para mim.
Eu não sei se isso importa,
eu só quero abrir a porta
e poder te ver mais uma vez.
Por que não valerá
a chance de saber?
Se foi real, então
venha reconstruir
só quem pode é você.
