more Russian tourists in Sicily, again?

In questi giorni si tirano un pò le somme, a proposito di flussi turistici nella stagione estiva 2011.

Sui quotidiani, carta stampata, giornali on line e tv...

Qualche incremento nel settore straniero, un calo degli italiani..alberghi pieni...

Spesso le voci sono un pò contraddittorie.

A volte il miglior termometro della situazione non sono le statistiche ma la gente del luogo, chi opera realmente nel settore.

Questo cartello sulla vetrina di un ristorante di Taormina ci incoraggia un pò.

In effetti, passeggiando per le vie del centro, si sente parlare inglese e tanto tanto russo!!

A Siracusa, non credo di aver visto un cartello scritto in russo...

Minori presenze di russi in questa città o semplicemnte poca capacità imprenditoriale e di marketing?

-------------------------------------

As far as tourist incoming ,in these days local and national newspapers, web and Tv are giving news about this last summer season: more foreigners, less Italians, hotels full..

Sometimes, information given are self-contradictory.

More than statistics, the local people working on touristic field are the best sign of the real situation.

I found this sign in the window of a restaurant in Taormina and it makes us a little bit positive..

Actually,walking along the main corso in Taormina you hear speaking in English and more and more Russian..

I don't think I have seen such kind of Russian signs in Siracusa:less Russian tourists or more simply less marketing and entrepreneurship ??

The caponata of the Inspector Montalbano... simply sciavurusa!

Yesterday I was at the street market in my Ortigia and I ate a wonderful caponata When it was served at my table that marvellous vision reminded me the description given by Andea Camilleri in one of the episodes of his popular Inspector: " The moment he opened the refrigerator, he saw it. Caponata! Fragrant, colourful, abundant, it filled an entire soup dish, enough for at least four people. It had been months since Adelina, his housekeeper, last made it for him. The bread, in its plastic bag, was fresh, bought this morning. The notes of the triumphal march of Aida came spontaneously, naturally, to his lips. Humming, he opened the French windows after turning the light one the veranda. Yes, it was a cool night, but still warm enough to eat outside. He set the little table, brought the dish, the wine, and the bread outside, and sat down " (Excursion to Tindari, Andrea Camilleri) There were three Dutch tourists reading carefully the menu close to me
