sicilian elections: a whirl of words...

In the whirl of words and words and words of this confused, hypocritical and poor political propaganda for the imminent elctions here in Sicily...

Reading a book in these days, I took some notes about a paragraph I'd like to share with you, here.

"There are some strange rumours that Sicily and Sicilian people are different from the rest of Italy. Different and more complicated. The answer could be complex on Pirandello's terms: no, they think to be, and this make them different and more complicated people..."

Nel turbinìo di parole parole parole che ci circondano in questa confusa,mediocre ed ipocrita campagna elettorale qui in Sicilia

Ho preso nota , leggendo un libro in questi giorni, di alcuni pensieri..che sento di condividere.....

"Circola con insistenza l'idea che la Sicilia e i siciliani siano diversi,rispetto al resto d'Italia.Diversi e più complicati.La risposta può essere articolata pirandellianamente:no, ma credono di esserlo,e questo li rende diversi e più complicati....."

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.
