PROGRAM NARRATIVE Many places in the Mediterranean can lay claim to being a “crossroads of cultures and civilizations,” but none with better justification than Sicily. For, 3,000 years, wave after wave of new cultures, ideas and artistic techniques have swept over the island, leaving in their wake temples, theaters, castles villages, and extraordinary works of art that together have earned Sicily the reputation of an “open-air museum.” Our itinerary demonstrates the importance of Sicily to Greek civilization in the great theaters at Syracuse and Taormina and in the Doric temples at Agrigento and Segesta. Roman remains mingle with the Greek in Syracuse, and the wealth of Imperial Rome is evident in the 3rd-century villa near Piazza Armerina.

  • Sicily Itinerary
    SICILY: FROM EAST TO WEST Culinary Educator: Nancy Harmon Jenkins itinerary: ® THE CULINARY INSTITUTE OF AMERICA Presented by MAY 15-24 Travel Programs ® 2009 sicily itinerary For American chefs and food lovers seduced by Mediterranean flavors, Sicily is one of the hottest regions of interest right now. With its Greek and Arab heritage, strong agricultural traditions based on the Mediterranean triad (wheat, wine, olive oil), and history as both a cultural crossroads and a point of departure for emigration all over the Western world, Sicily’s influence on contemporary cuisines is unassailable. From simple pastas to elaborate seafood combinations, from fresh and aged cheeses and durum-wheat breads to the refined traditions of convent sweets, from crisp white wines to the richness of Marsala, Sicily is one of the purest and most exciting expressions of classic Mediterranean cuisine. Day 1: Friday, May 15 (Palermo) Arrival in Palermo. (There are many direct flights from Rome to Palermo daily. Taxis are the easiest way to get to town from the airport, but there are also shuttle trains and buses to the central train station.) We will meet in the lobby at 7:00 p.m. for introductions and a welcome glass of wine, then walk a very short distance to La Dispensa dei Monzu, a fine gourmet products store and small restaurant. There we’ll spend the evening tasting traditional foods from all over Sicily as an introduction to Sicilian food, wine, history, and culture. Hotel: Principe di Villafranca, D Day 2: Saturday, May 16 (Palermo) We will start the day with a guided visit to the Ballaro market, one of Palermo’s famously vibrant street markets and the one we think is the best.

  • Il Quartiere Di San Vito a Monreale
    IL QUARTIERE S. VITO MARTIRE DI MONREALE STORIA E TRADIZIONE a cura di Stefano Intravaia Monreale – giugno 2008 PREMESSA L’ archivio storico della parrocchia di San Vito Martire contiene per la maggior parte buste che riguardano l’amministrazione finanziaria della Compagnia di San Carlo Borromeo, chiesa e Confraternita di San Vito, datate dal 1520 all’anno 1907, e registri degli atti di pagamento dei censi dovuti alla Chiesa Santa Maria in Orto per il periodo 1857 - 1977. Tutt’ ora questa documentazione è conservata nella sacrestia della parrocchia, all’interno di un armadio, e complessivamente l’archivio risulta formato da 20 registri, con numero progressivo di cordata, da 30 buste contenenti 166 fascicoli, anche questi numerati in progressione, protetti da due piatti di cartoncino duro e trattenuti da lacci. La spinta che ha impresso movimento a questo lavoro di ricerca essenzialmente si basa sugli atti relativi al pagamento dei censi, da cui ho potuto trarre una miriade di notizie che comprendono anzitutto i nomi dei possidenti del quartiere, la sua toponomastica, la consistenza dei gruppi familiari e notizie sulle sue abitazioni. Lo scopo di questa pubblicazione è quello di mostrare, con molta umiltà e con la consapevolezza che tanto ancora deve esser detto e scritto, la vicenda secolare del quartiere di san Vito e della sua gente, secondo ogni possibile punto di vista. Per far ciò sono stati utili, oltre l’archivio in questione, la documentazione conservata nell’archivio di san Vito, della Collegiata, del Duomo, dell’Archivio storico diocesano, del Comune di Monreale, dell’archivio di Stato di Palermo e alcuni scritti del professore Giuseppe Schirò, estratti da documenti inediti del canonico Gaetano Millunzi.
