The multivolume work is made up as follows:
- Vol. 1: Baroque World Heritage Site
- Vol. 2: Ragusa
- Vol.3: Modica and Scicli
- Vol.4: Noto and Palazzolo Acreide
- Vol.5: Caltagirone and Militello in Val di Catania
- Vol. 6: Catania
The first volume illustrates the Baroque style, its history and the main Italian and Sicilian characters who have influenced the style which some call the "non-style". In addition, the UNESCO recognition card is illustrated and the difference between monuments and sites actually included in the World Heritage List (World Heritage List).
All the other volumes instead describe, accompanied by a rich photographic documentation (over 700 images), the main monuments testifying to the late Baroque falling in the 8 municipalities interested in UNESCO recognition.

Each guide will also include useful information for tourists, including information on accommodation and catering facilities and tourist services in general.
