The inspector Montalbano on the British autumn...



I decided to read some articles, reviews about the Inspector Montalbano and its success in Great Britain..
Many English tourists now come to Sicily and  show curiosity about the movie-set where the Italian serial takes place..

Looking for on Internet I found this spot about Montalbano DVD on BBC4
 Surely to watch Montalbano with subtitles is not the best!

 What a  shame not to understand the funny and colourful local  linguistic  expression in Sicilian dialect which partly also makes the success of Montalbano.

Sicily among the clouds: Ortigia - bird's eye view

six days around Sicily by helicopter this is the strongest emotion to me   flying as a bird above my  marvellous Ortigia unforgettable

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
