Meet Them At The Furnu In Sicily

Zia Maria and Zio Angelo bake the break at the furnu (the oven/bakery, in Sicilian). In the end, in Sicily, it’s about the people you meet and how you felt during those moments of connection. Always, thank you to Pierfilippo Spoto and Val di Kam in Sant’Angelo Muxaro, Agrigento Province for these introductions.

Daily Bread

For Sicilians, a daily ritual is going to the panificio (a bakery) or the fornaio (a bakery with a serious oven) to purchase your bread for lunch and/or dinner. There’s nothing like fresh bread — like this batch I photographed in Bagheria. Mmmm….

In Sicily, cakes are sweet works of art. #sicily #sicily_travel #sicilia #sicily_tourism #italy #ig_sicily #italia #siciliaph #siciliafoto #bagheria #palermo #cake #torta #dessert #dolci #art #food #pistacchio #pistachio #chocolatecake #bakery #pasticceria
