sicilian elections: a whirl of words...

In the whirl of words and words and words of this confused, hypocritical and poor political propaganda for the imminent elctions here in Sicily...

Reading a book in these days, I took some notes about a paragraph I'd like to share with you, here.

"There are some strange rumours that Sicily and Sicilian people are different from the rest of Italy. Different and more complicated. The answer could be complex on Pirandello's terms: no, they think to be, and this make them different and more complicated people..."

* annacarsi - this is sicilian to say Hurry up

cosa raccoglieremo??

Nel turbinìo di parole parole parole che ci circondano in questa confusa,mediocre ed ipocrita campagna elettorale qui in Sicilia

Ho preso nota , leggendo un libro in questi giorni, di alcuni pensieri..che sento di condividere.....

"Circola con insistenza l'idea che la Sicilia e i siciliani siano diversi,rispetto al resto d'Italia.Diversi e più complicati.La risposta può essere articolata pirandellianamente:no, ma credono di esserlo,e questo li rende diversi e più complicati....."

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
