Bedda matri! (it. Mamma mia!)
MIzzica!!

che bedda picciridda! che beddu picciriddu!
(it. Che bella bambina! che bel bambino!)

iddu (it. Egli, lui) = He/Him
idda (It. Ella, lei)= She,her
picciriddu (It bambino) = a child a baby (male)

  • a nice expression to say to a girl:
matri quantu sì bedda!! (It. mamma mia che sei bella!)
You're so beautiful!!

I want you...

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
