Poche settimane fa Il S. Giorgio di Modica è rientrato dopo i festeggiamenti, mentre a Scicli La Madonna delle Milizie (L'unica Madonna a cavallo) è già pronta per le celebrazioni in atto in qualità di santa patrona.

Nel 1091 La Madonna guerriera apparve al fianco di Ruggero il Normanno in una delle battaglie più temute contro i Saraceni. sulla costa sciclitana!

Tante le iniziative a Scicli nella  settimana in corso...tra sacro e profano.!

Ad esempio:
Sabato notte sarà  "La notte dei Milici".

Who goes , who comes...

A few weeks ago St George in Modica  came back home (The Duomo)  after its  festival, while in Scicli The Madonna delle Milizie  (the only warrior Madonna on a horse)is ready for her festival as patron saint.

In 1091 The warrior Madonna appeared on the side of Roger the Norman in one of the hardest fights against the Saracens, along  the Scicli coast.
A lot of entertainments in Scicli this week, between sacred and profane.

Saturday night will be "the Night of the Milici" in Scicli.

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!!!
