A Baroque wedding in Noto

Yesterday a very nice tour with my American tourists : starting from Marina di Ragusa, to Ragusa Ibla and then luch in Modica and from Modica in the tiny but picturesque fihermen village of Marzamemi and then to Noto where , in its beautiful Cathedral a wedding had just been celebrated..

Looking at the couple making the "offcial photoes", looking around at the wedding guests....and then waiting the groom and the bride coming out from the church.

To my American people all this was amazing and it sounded more interesting than the Baroque in Ibla, the sunset in Marzamemi or the dark choccolate of Modica... ..

Why not? This is also Sicily!

A question? They got married on Monday!

Do you celebrate weddings also on the week days and not only in the weekends?

Yes we do, every day BUT never on Sundays.

They're around making photoes as memory of the day


it's the turn now to make photoes with " i parenti più stretti"	- the closest relatives..

Just for special occasion the central gates of the Cathedral are opened like today

Every gust,before going outside, can take and taste little" confetti" as a good luck

Rice and rose petals on the couple

Here they are..under very hot sunbeams...yesterday 41 °C

now anothe tour for romantic pictures in the Capital of the Sicilian Baroque

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
