St. Joseph and horse riding

St. Catherine church
The Luminarie




Cavalcata di S. Giuseppe- St. Joseph's horse riding in Donnalucata:it's still not St. Joseph day but Donnalucata, a small fishermen village near Scicli, celebrates  its patron saint one week before than Scicli.

What a nice idea! 
So everybody can enjoy both festivals! In the province of Ragusa  it's very tipical to celebrate patron saints always the Sunday before or earlier than the Saint day to give everybody the possibility to partecipate to the event!!!






The theme of the horse riding is The Escape of the Holy Family from Egypt.


The streets of Donnalucata are crossed by a procession of horses elegantly decorated with flowers and their jokers wear traditional  Sicilian  folkloristic clothes.


At the end of the day  St. Joseph dinner and a charity acc

Non è ancora S. Giuseppe, ma per non concorrere con la vicina Scicli, la frazione di Donnalucata celebra il santo patrono una settimana prima.

Ma è tradizione nel ragusano non farsi concorrenza ed anche di anticipare o posticipare alla domenica prima o dopo la festa patronale se ricade in un giorno lavorativo!

Che bella idea!





La cavalcata di S. Giuseppe rievoca la fuga della Sacra Famiglia dall'Egitto, con una sfilata di eleganti cavalli bardati a festa con decorazioni floreali ed i loro fantini con abiti folcloristici siciliani.

Il corteo attraversa le vie di questo piccolo centro marinaro per poi concludersi con la cena di S. Giuseppe ed un'asta di beneficienza.

Busulmona: like Heaven!

Busulmona : XIXth  century farmhouse, once property of the  Cavaliere Sessa, today run by the family Di Pino. 5 km far from Noto it is immersed in a wonderful almond grove and carobs olives and all the colours of nature   make of this piece of Sicily a true paradise! It works as a B&B at the moment with only two bedroom, but it's also possible to have lunch tasting olive oil and almonds and wathever  what rigorously the family produce and cook for you!  Tranquillity, harmony, genuinity.. this are the things coming to my mind when I was there The name Busulmona , which is the name of all that area,comes from the Arabic and means the land of sun....  an extraordinary view  from the stone terrace on the Val di Noto, from Noto to Vendicari and Marzamemi... . for further information : www.busulmona.com

Back to school!

I'm exausted! In these days students are coming back to school In a book shop I saw this lovely school agenda...( Il Diario ) TO choose the new diario was a nice thing to do with my friends. Everybody, among girls, was curios to see the others' agenda and then, through the school year fill it with drawings, puzzles of photoes, phrases, songs ...and homework (sometimes)  as well. If I were still at school, i think this would be my agenda!!!
