Modica: La casa delle farfalle/ House of butterflies


 LA CASA DELLE FARFALLE in questi giorno è un gran successo a Modica!
é stata allestita una serra, per creare un habitat naturale e permettere ai bachi da seta di seguire la loro metamorfosi e trasformarsi in farfalle..proprio sotto i nostri occhi!

Settimanalmente le crisalidi arrivano dall'Inghilterra ed attraverso la cura di esperti giovani biologi seguiranno il loro ciclo vitale.
E' una gioia poter vedere circa 300 farfalle volare in assoluta libertà..ed apprendere  particolari della  loro vita magica..

Non solo per bambini........

La casa delle farfalle è aperta tutti i giorni fino alle 21.00
- ingresso 3,00 euro.
Rimarrà nell'atrio di Palazzo S. Domenico fino a metà novembre circa..poi..."volerà via"..

Come mi ha tristemente confidato una biologa, la casa delle farfalle per il momento verrà smontata...
"Questo esperimento a Modica è stato il primo...ma mancano i fondi per la ricerca....difficile trovare gli sponsor per questo progetto così delicato ma altrettanto affascinante."

THE HOUSE OF BUTTERFLIES is a great success in these days in Modica!
It has been built in the courtyard in Palazzo S. Domenico, to have the natural habitat where the silkworm can follow its metamorphosis and become a beautiful butterfly ,before our eyes!!

Weekly hundreds of crysalides come from England and through the cure and patience of young but qualified biologists they can follow their natural cycle.
It's wonderful to see hundreds of butterflies flying in absolute freedom and learn more about their magic life..

Not only for chldren!

The House is open every day till 21.00 -entrance fee 3,00 euro.
Till half November,then it will fly away!

As sadly a biologist told me ," It's the first experiment we do, but it's hard to find funds for research in Italy and have sponsors for such a delicate but delightful project!"

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! 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!
