False Sicilian ?

Agathé
A great event during the feast dedicated to St. Agata in Catania, in these days!
On the occasion of the exibition dedicated to Modigliani, the Italian maudì painter, a portrait of Agata, never seen before attributed to Modigliani (1919), has been the attraction of the event.
it was found by a collectionist amd for years kept folded, attached to a letter.

It could be a present to Catania, which , anyway,was never visited by Modigliani, but where the brothers of him stayed for a while.

Only one article, by the Osservatorio Romano newspaper, have some doubts about its authenticity.
A neverending curtigghiu = gossip raised.

The great idea that the local representative of the Tourist and Cultural department ( Mariella Ferrera = a famous Italian fashion stylist):
Next Sunday, February 13th all the students of the Academy of Arts in Catania will meet at Castello Ursino square to paint their own most beautiful "false" Agata!!!!!

Great! that's Sicilian originality!!!

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
