" Nell’ombra viola della sera il frinire dei grilli risuonava basso come una litania. Ma c’era un punto, giù al centro della conca erbosa dove i cipressi svettavano in un girotondo contro il cielo, in cui il suono echeggiava così intenso da diventare quasi gazzarra.

Our Experience Sicily friend, Sicilian cart painter Michele Ducato was featured this week on Medianews Extra in Italy. You may watch the interview, which is in Italian, here: https://youtu.be/h5LjSKeZc6M?t=36s. Although it's in Italian, the camera takes you into Ducato's workshop in Bagheria, where we often bring our clients for a closer look. Ducato discusses his recent collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana and carrying on the legacy of his grandfather, father, and uncle's business, painting the storied carts.  #siciliancart #siciliancarts #carettosiciliano #siciliancart #art #arte #painting #caretto #carettosiciliano #folktraditions #experiencesicily #sicily #sicilia #siciliabedda #sizilien #italy #italia #sicilyvacation #sicilians_world #ig_sicily #siciliaph #siciliafoto #fotosicilia #sicilyphoto #instasicilia #gf_italy #siculamenteDoc #sicily_tricolors #ig_visitsicily (at Comune Di Bagheria)

Viva Santa Lucia! December 13 is the Feast of Santa Lucia. Devotees wearing green caps process her priceless silver statue and sacred relics through the streets of Oritgia, Sicily. Throughout the march, faithful sing a call-and-response in reverence to their patroness: Viva Santa Lucia! Viva Santa Lucia!

Earlier this week, I mentioned that in the days leading up to and including La Festa di Santa Lucia, Palermitani don't eat flour-based foods. So what do they eat then? Arancine, of course! Yes, these balls-of-gold are a masterpiece of Palermitano wheat-free street food, and Sicilians of the Conco d’Oro take their arancine very seriously for Saint Lucy’s feast day. These fried rice balls stuffed with beef ragu, peas, and caciocavallo cheese are eaten with much fervor in the shadow of Mount Pellegrino. Home cooks even compete for the honor of being awarded the best “home cooked” arancine (My cousin Patrizia was garnared the prize four years ago.). These beauties pictured were the "oranges of my eye" recently when I walked through Il Capo market. (Note: the word arancina is a play on arancio, or orange, in Italian.) From Friggitoria Gastronomia da Arianna at Via Porta Carini, 51,  they were the perfect combination of crunchy on the outside and creamy, soft rice with gooey cheese on the inside. More on the other food that Sicilians eat for Santa Lucia, cuccia, in another post. Last chance to register! Join us in New York City this Sun., Dec. 10 at 2PM at Cacio e Vino restaurant to celebrate the Feast of Santa Lucia. Your reservation includes a four-course traditional Sicilian menu with wine, tax, and gratuities included, a short concert by music duo Villa Palagonia, a presentation about the cult of Santa Lucia by Experience Sicily, and a raffle of various prizes. We're gonna have a lot of fun!

Yes, that is a dagger in her neck! When the Christian maiden Lucia refused to participate in the activities of the Roman temple dedicated to sacred prostitution to which she was condemned, the governor of Siracusa, Paschasius, sent soldiers to remove her, however she was immovable! They brought in oxen to drag her away, yet the oxen were unable to move her from where she stood. The soldiers attempted to burn Lucia, her reliquary statue pictured, at the stake, but the flames failed to smolder under her feet. Finally, on that fateful day, December 13, 304 A.D., they stabbed her in the throat with a dagger. Her blood steeped into the earth, and she was buried where she met her death.... Her story continues ... Please join us in New York City this Sun., Dec. 10 at 2PM at Cacio e Vino restaurant to celebrate the Feast of Santa Lucia.

One Ostrich, Two Ostrich ... The corridor of the Ambulatory of the Big Game Hunt at the Roman Villa del Casale in Piazza Armerina has been called a "map of the world," by some scholars. Capped by two floor lunettes on either side, one representing Mauritania, a country in Africa, and the other India, the extraordinary mosaic scenes along the 60-meter-long hallway (197 feet) document hunting, fishing, and the moving of animals by Romans for Roman gladiatorial games. We'll be touring this magnificent UNESCO World Heritage Site on Day 5 of our September 2018 Stirring Sicily food and wine tour.

The Sivestri Craters, a series of volcanic craters that exist on Etna's south side, were formed during an 1892 eruption. 1900 meters above sea level, they are accessable by car when you navigate to Rifugio Sapienza in Nicolosi. The craters are named for Professor Orazio Silvestri, a geologist and volcanologist who dedicated much of his life to studying Etna's ways #etna #catania #sicilyvolcano #silvestricraters #craterisilvestri #rifugiosapienza #volcano #craters #crateri #experiencesicily #sicily #sicilia #siciliabedda #sizilien #italy #italia #italien #sicilytourism #sicilyvacation #smallgrouptours #authenticsicily #sicilians_world #ig_sicily #siciliaph #siciliafoto #fotosicilia #sicilyphoto #instasicilia #gf_italy #siculamenteDoc #sicily_tricolors #ig_visitsicily (at Rifugio Sapienza)

After a fantastic evening of Sicilian cuisine last night with the Sicily and Southern Italy Interest Circle (of NY, on Meetup.com) at 83 1/2 Ristorante @83_12 on New York City's Upper East Side, this evening, I was downtown on the Lower East Side at @cacioevinonyc for a wine tasting dinner with pairing of @donnafugatawine. The wines were so varied from one another and splendidly paired with the food. This one pictured, the 2015 Anthilia transported me to a sunny day in Marsala. Save the Date! I'll be back at Cacio e Vino on Sunday, December 10, for an afternoon feast, celebrating Santa Lucia.

One of my most memorable evenings in Sicily has been just after it rained and I was on my own, exploring Ortigia. The historic center glistened, and the duomo was lit up, accentuating its monumental glory. #siracusa #duomosiracusa #templeofathena #architecture #architettura #archaeology #archeologia #ancient #antico #doric #dorico #columns #colonne #ancientgreece #magnagrecia #ancientgreek #ig_siracusa #baroque #barocco #experiencesicily #sicily #sicilia #siciliabedda #sizilien #italy #italia #sicilyvacation #smallgrouptours #authenticsicily #sicilians_world #ig_sicily #siciliaph #siciliafoto #fotosicilia #sicilyphoto #instasicilia #gf_italy #siculamenteDoc #sicily_tricolors #ig_visitsicily (at Cathedral of Syracuse)
