attrazione fatale!!


fichi d'India di mare e di montagna
(I'm posting again my first post written a few months ago , but now with the English version of it)

I'd like to start this blog talking about my country with the same surprise and curiosity
that Eva would have if only she'd come here, into my island.

I've chosen this picture I took a few days ago ..because lthough SICULA SUGNu (I'm sicilian) I really adore this plant, its fruits, its sweetness so well protected fromt the world around.
I like to take pictures  on it when I can.

here it is. This is the way Sicilian people are:
so diffident , ready to defend ourselves when someone is kind to us
full of thorns, but alays available to offer the sweetness we have inside
just like the fichi d'India -cactus or preakly pears


vorrei cominciare da qui e parlarvi della mia terra con lo stesso stupore e curiosità che avrebbe Eva se arrivasse oggi qui nella mia isola.
Ho scelto qusta immagine scattata pochi giorni fa..perchè anche se SICULA SUGNU  adoro questa pianta , i suoi frutti, la sua dolcezza così ben protetta dal mondo esterno!! e m'incanta fotografarla quando mi capita..

Ecco! noi siciliani siamo fatti così...tanto diffidenti da proteggerci da chi ci offre qualcosa , quasi spinosi,ma sempre disponibili ad offrire la dolcezza che abbiamo dentro..proprio come i fichi d'India (?)

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

Now it's better!

Now it's better! Here I am! It's 6 weeks now since I fell, having troubles with the legaments of my right knee! Ahi che dolor! No work,no walk .......... Now it's better.....but slowly slowly....... Buona giornata!
