So we've been in #Sicily for nine days now, touring the island. We started in Palermo and are headed to Catania tomorrow.
I'd always thought that Sicilian food had a reputation for being a bit spicy, but I have to say, so far, not a sausage, literally, anywhere.
All the seafood you can eat, of course, which means that swordfish and aubergine pasta is everywhere, but nothing with even a touch of chilli.
Any thoughts or recommendations out there?

They sure don't build them like this anymore!

Chiesa del Gesù in Palermo, Sicily, also known as Santa Maria di Gesù, or the Casa Professa ⛪

The Jesuit church is one of the most ornate Baroque interiors in Sicily. Every surface is covered with marble inlays, reliefs, and allegorical figures - angels, saints, floral motifs, and grotesque devils - creating images and narratives that were meant to instruct and move the faithful.

The church has been described as a kind of “bible in marble,” where the battle between good and evil is vividly carved into stone.

So much better than working. Family trip to #Sicily currently in #Catania

Reportedly, Sicilian Carousel is one of Durrell’s more boring books. At least the cover is exciting! I love the pink wheel against the lime green field, and the bright yellow accents. From 1977. The #littlelibraries around me are always filled with Durrell books. #bookcover #Books #travelbooks #sicily

Nella profondità silenziosa della notte, nel Palazzo di Giustizia di Palermo, un'imponente fortezza razionalista nata dal cantiere del 1937 e completata solo nel 1957, dopo le ferite della guerra, la notte cela segreti che nessun codice penale può spiegare.

Alle tre del mattino del dicembre 2011, un giovane carabiniere in ronda tra aule e cancellerie scorge una figura evanescente, una donna avvolta in un bianco spettrale, con una sciarpa rossa, si volta fluttuando, lo fissa con occhi spenti e svanisce nel nulla, lasciando un gelo irrazionale in un tempio dedicato alla logica e alla giustizia.

È l'inizio di una leggenda che intreccia storia palermitana e mistero sovrannaturale.

La Lupa della Kalsa, ombre di paura nel cuore antico di Palermo

Nel cuore buio della Kalsa, tra le cicatrici dei bombardamenti del '43 e i vicoli arabi che sussurrano segreti antichi, si nascondeva la Lupa, la leggenda di un'ombra famelica che durante le notti di coprifuoco rapiva i bambini disobbedienti.

Non era solo un'invenzione per far stare buoni i "picciriddi" (bambini), ma l'incarnazione delle paure di una Palermo ferita, dove la notte portava crolli, ladri, fame e disperazione.​

La Leggenda dei Bosconero, il vampiro di Palermo

Nei boschi oscuri che cingono Palermo, come le fitte foreste di Ficuzza e i dintorni di Monte Pellegrino, si annida da secoli la leggenda dei Bosconero, vampiri del folklore siciliano.

Descritti per la prima volta nelle cronache popolari del XVII secolo e raccolti dal folklorista Giuseppe Pitrè alla fine dell'Ottocento, questi esseri emersi dalle tradizioni arbëreshë (comunità albanesi migrate in Sicilia nel XV secolo) appaiono come ombre pallide con occhi luminescenti, avvolti in mantelli neri come la notte.

Era un sabato pomeriggio come tanti quello di 32 anni fa, il 23 maggio del 1992.

Io non vivevo più a casa con i miei genitori e di solito il sabato andavo sempre a trovarli e, insieme a loro, ci recavamo a casa di mia nonna materna che abitava al piano di sopra.

Era un modo per passare dei momenti lieti, si cenava tutti insieme, una tradizione a cui tenevamo per mantenere ancora più saldo l’affetto familiare.

La nonna nella sua cucina aveva sempre un piccolo televisore acceso, le piaceva guardare un po' di tutto mentre si dedicava a cucinare, le piaceva, per lei era un momento di ritrovo familiare.

Ma quel sabato pomeriggio, un tragico evento, avrebbe trasformato quei momenti lieti in una sensazione di amarezza e di sconforto.

Ad un certo punto, le trasmissioni TV che stavano andando in onda, furono interrotte per dar spazio ad un’edizione straordinaria del telegiornale, nella quale venne annunciato il terribile e vile attentato di stampo terroristico-mafioso, nel tratto di autostrada A29 in prossimità dello svincolo di Capaci, attentato nel quale persero la vita i giudici Giovanni Falcone e Francesca Morvillo, moglie del magistrato, e tre dei cinque uomini della scorta Vito Schifani, Rocco Dicillo e Antonio Montinaro.

Mia madre, donna di una sensibilità fuori dal comune, che si metteva a piangere anche quando apprendeva in tv la morte di un attore o di un attrice, appresa la notizia dell’attentato scoppiò a piangere, cercai di consolarla con un abbraccio.

In quel momento tutto sembrava perduto, sconforto e rabbia era in ogni cittadino palermitano e ancora non potevamo immaginare quello che sarebbe successo da lì a un paio di mesi dopo, il 19 luglio 1992, dove ancora un atroce attentato di stampo mafioso avrebbe ucciso il giudice Paolo Borsellino e gli uomini e una donna della sua scorta.

Proprio il giudice Paolo Borsellino, dopo la morte del suo amico Giovanni, in un suo discorso disse:
“CHI HA PAURA MUORE OGNI GIORNO. CHI NON HA PAURA, MUORE UNA VOLTA SOLA”.

Lo scorso anno ho realizzato un piccolo video, che ripropongo, dedicandolo a Giovanni, Francesca, Vito, Rocco ed Antonio.
