Catania:between the sacred and profane. . .

A nice afternoon between sacred and profane

One hour driving from Siracusa and we were in the wonderful Castle Ursino in Catania for MOdigliani exibition...

nice walking, meeting other friends...and then in perfect but wrong Sicilian style,we parked the car on second line.....
just to have a look..a quick look, we said..

these days from 3th February Catania is celebrating her patron Saint
S. Agata.....

we did some pictures, we looked around fully forgetting about our car.....
others horning reminded us......
sorry!!!!
"but just for a minute!!!"
(this is the common sentence people tell me when I'm waiting someone parking just behind my car on a second line! I HATE IT!)
we did..we said...
sorry!

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
