During this time all shops and markets are closed. Also on Sunday most of the shops are closed. FOOD IN SICILY There are a few things you must try during your stay in Sicily: • Gelato (ice-cream) – Gelato is not the simple ice cream, there are some differences between gelato and ice cream. Ice cream contains legally from 10 % of fat, but gelato is made with greater proportion of whole milk to cream, so it contains more like 5% to 7% fat. Since there are not so much fat in gelato, it doesn’t coat mouth in the same way and you can feel the flavors more intensely. • Granita - Granita is a semi-frozen dessert made from sugar, water and various flavorings. This is largely the result of different freezing techniques: the smoother types are produced in a gelato machine while the coarser varieties are frozen with only occasional agitation, then scraped or shaved to produce separated crystals. • Brioche – Brioche is a highly enriched bread, whose high egg and butter content give it a rich and tender crumb. It is "light and slightly puffy, more or less fine, according to the proportion of butter and eggs”. It has a dark, golden and flaky crust, frequently accentuated by an egg wash applied after proofing. • Arancini – Arancini are essentially balls of creamy risotto rice, typically stuffed with cheese and meat, then breaded and fried to a golden crisp. They are the size and shape of an orange (or arancia ) which is how they get their name, although sometimes they're shaped into more of a cone. Traditionally, they are filled with melted cheese, some peas, and a tomato-based meat sugo ; however, you can find interesting variations like ones stuffed with pistachio pesto, for example. • Cannoli - Cannoli consists of tube-shaped shells of fried pastry dough filled with a sweet, creamy filling usually containing ricotta. They range in size from "cannulicchi", no bigger than a finger, to the fist-sized proportions typically found in Piana degli Albanesi in the commune of Palermo.

  • Rural Development Between “Institutional Spaces” and “Spaces of Resources and Vocations”: Park Authorities and Lags in Sicily
    TOPIARIUS • Landscape studies • 6 Concetta Falduzzi1 Doctor of Political and Social Science, Expert in local development policies Giuseppe Sigismondo Martorana1 M. Sc. In Law University of Catania, Department of Political and Social Science Rural development between “institutional spaces” and “spaces of resources and vocations”: Park Authorities and LAGs in Sicily Abstract This paper addresses the subject of the reference frames of territori- alisation processes determined by local development initiatives. Its purpose is to offer a survey on a central issue: which spatial frames of reference influence or justify the choices of LAGs in the defini- tion and delimitation of local development spaces. The paper is about the case of Sicily, presenting some possible in- terpretations of an evolution of the development space from “insti- tutional space” to “space of resources and vocations”. The paper will highlight the relation between the spaces of natural parks and the spaces of LAGs in the Participatory Local Development Strate- gies. Keywords: territorialisation, local development, LAGs, natural park, Participatory Local Development Strategies Introduction It has been argued [Martorana 2017] that the landscape resources are fundamental to the development of tourism in rural areas; that Park Authorities, as institutional bodies responsible for the environmental and landscape protection of 1, For the purpose of the attribution of the two Authors‟ contributions to this article, it is speci- fied that C.

  • The Classification of Sicilian Dialects: Language Change and Contact Silvio Cruschina (University of Helsinki)
    The Classification of Sicilian Dialects: Language Change and Contact Silvio Cruschina (University of Helsinki) 1. Introduction The role of prescriptivism in inhibiting language change and in imposing a reduction in variation on the basis of linguistic norms has long been acknowledged. This emerges most clearly in the contemporary situation of standard languages, where variation across different dialects of the same language has been subject to a (relatively) successful prescriptive influence and to attempts by prescriptivists to preserve the standard language. The situation is somewhat different, however, for lower-prestige varieties and minority languages: the lack of a standard, and hence of prescriptive rules, coupled with the influence of the high-prestige language spoken in the same territory, provide favourable conditions and sometimes even triggers for language variation and change. This paper is concerned with the contemporary situation of Sicilian, where the traditional classification of its dialects comes up against cross-dialectal variation and the pace of language change. Despite constituting a distinct language of Italy, Sicilian has no official status and consequently no standard grammar or orthography. A significant number of differences, especially at the phonological level, allow the identification of several Sicilian dialects within the island: indeed, these differences have been used as the major criteria for the classification of the Sicilian dialects. In addition to the lack of a standard grammar and of prescriptive norms, Sicilian is in constant contact with Italian in a situation of diglossia: the two languages are used in different contexts and under different conditions by the same community (see Berruto 1987, Grassi 1993, Loporcaro 2009).

  • G. Venturella, B. Baum & G. Mandracchia the Genus Tamarix
    G. Venturella, B. Baum & G. Mandracchia The genus Tamarix (Tamaricaceae) in Sicily: first contribution Abstract Venturella, G., Baum, B. & Mandracchia, G.: The genus Tamarix (Tamaricaceae) in Sicily: first contribution. — Fl. Medit. 17: 25-46. 2007. — ISSN 1120-4052. The tamarisks flora of Sicily is here up dated with the addition of two species new for Italy (Tamarix rosea and T. chinensis) and three new records for the island (T. africana var. flumi- nensis, T. tetragyna and T. hampeana). Key words: Tamarisks, Taxonomy, Mediterranean Area. Introduction Tamarix L. is a critical genus of the Italian vascular flora and it is characterized by a considerable morphological and ecological resemblance of taxa, infraspecific variabili- ty and teratology of floral elements. The number of floral parts is sometimes constant but this parameter cannot be considered valid for any identification of specimens when it is not correlated with the position of flowers on the raceme, the reciprocal position of flo- ral parts, the variability in their numbers, etc. The difficulties in the identification of tamarisk species are sometimes caused by inaccurate descriptions and by problems in analytical keys. According to Willdenow (1816), Desvaux (1824), Ehrenberg (1872), Bunge (1852) and Ahrendt (1926), 200 specific and intraspecific taxa are included in the genus Tamarix. This number was reduced to 69 (54 species and 15 varieties) by Baum (1978). Baum (1968), Zangheri (1976) and Pignatti (1982) reported 5 taxa for Italy: Tamarix africana Poiret, T. canariensis Willd., T. gallica L., T. dalmatica Baum and T. parviflo- ra DC. Recently Conti et al. (2005) in the “Annotated Check-list of the Italian Vascular Flora” added 5 tamarisk species collected in Sardinia by De Martis et al.

    Archeologia in Sicilia - Progetti di collaborazione internazionale Roma nei giorni 8 e 9 aprile 2019 ABSTRACTS Alex Walthall (The Department of Classics at the University of Texas at Austin) Reconsidering the Hellenistic Household: Reflections from the CAP Excavation at Morgantina (2014–2018) This paper offers an overview of the work completed between 2014 and 2018 by members of the Contrada Agnese Project (CAP), a long-term research and excavation project conducted under the auspices of the American Excavations at Morgantina. Since 2014, the CAP excavations have focused on uncovering and studying the remains of an Early Hellenistic house, once located at the western periphery of the ancient city. From the outset of the project, the CAP team has made it among their principal objectives to investigate the functional diversity embodied in the ancient household by illuminating aspects of daily life that are frequently underrepresented in studies of domestic space in ancient Mediterranean contexts, such as diet, household industry, and opportunistic reuse/renovation. In this talk, I situate the house—its construction, use, and abandonment—against the dual backdrop of domestic architecture and urban development at Morgantina during the third and second centuries BCE. I consider the CAP house in light of the better-known peristyle houses that flanked the city’s agora and discuss both how this building fits within the current framework of domestic architecture at Morgantina and how it offers new vantage points for future research. Throughout, I share a number of discoveries made in the course of the excavation and discuss how they have come to shape our understanding of the development and use of domestic space in Hellenistic Sandra Lucore (American excavations at Morgantina) Baths and Bathing at Morgantina: The North Baths and South Baths The North Baths and South Baths at Morgantina were excavated under the auspices of the American Excavations at Morgantina.

  • Embracing Diversity: the Establishment of a Reception Centre in Gioiosa Marea
    Dipartimento di Civiltà e Forme del Sapere Laurea Magistrale in Scienze per la Pace: Trasformazione dei Conflitti e Cooperazione allo Sviluppo Tesi di Laurea EMBRACING DIVERSITY: THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A RECEPTION CENTRE IN GIOIOSA MAREA Relatore Candidata Prof. Marcello Mollica Lucrezia Ferrà Anno Accademico: 2016/2017 ABSTRACT This dissertation is an attempt to investigate how the distance or the proximity to the reception centres for migrants could influence the perception of local residents about the presence of foreigners in their cities, and whether the different position of the centre could promote or prevent the process of integration. As a matter of fact, nowadays Italy has to deal with the migratory phenomenon and the reception of those who arrive on the Italian coasts seeking asylum or international protection. In order to manage this situation, Italy created a national Reception System. To analyse the topic I conducted a fieldwork in the village of Gioiosa Marea, in the Province of Messina, Sicily. Through the participant observation, and a series of interviews I conducted in the village, I investigated the opinions of citizens and local institutions about the place where to establish the reception centre. Data collected shows that the main purpose is to prevent the segregation of migrants in the space of the centre and their exclusion from the urban space of the village. Furthermore, evidence demonstrates that the process of integration requires a real effort by local authorities to promote the creation of deep relations between the guests of the centre and the local residents. i INDEX INTRODUCTION....................................................................................................p. 4 1.
