You're Sicilian when....



  Io, come tanti altri Siculi come me, mi ci ritrovo in pieno....che ne dite?

leggerlo mi ha fatto sorridere..
---------------------------
I received it from a friend and I enjoyed it because it's a faithful portrait of the way we, Siculi, are:
at least, I smiled reading it:

You are Sicilian when/if

  •  although you are unemplyed and don't have money, you offer coffe to your friends
  • you don't have any job, but you drive around with your luxury car
  • if, although you don't have time, you find it for a smile
  • if, when you meet another Sicilian aroad, you talk to him as a very good old friend
  • if you always complains about your town, but abroad you describe it as one of the seven wonders
  • if you LOVE with passion
  • if you're jelous of the people who are important to you
  • when you "parri cu tutti" ....talk with everybody
  • if you're proud when you talk about Peppino Impastato, Paolo Borsellino and Giovanni Falcone
  • if you meet with your family for the Sunday lunch and you start at 3.oo pm and finish at 6.oo pm
  • if, at least once in your life, you thought to change things
  • when you play TOMBOLA(Bingo) and after the first number you exclaimed: Ambo!
  • when you say that you're not a touchy person , but you don't like when others criticize you
  • when you live abroad but you say that "ca nun ci moru!" that is you will not die there
  • when , living in the north,once a day you feel nostalgic about Sicily and its people
  • when, after living in  MIlan for five years, you still don't lose your wonderful Sicilian accent and people spoil at you
  • if , living abroad, once a month, you receive a box full of the Sicilian specialities

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!
