The Museo Etnografico Siciliano Pitrè is housed in this building that is adjacent to the Palazzina Cinese. The quasi-Chinese design was inspired by an end-of-the-18th-century bent for everything Chinese. This building and its courtyard were once the stables, servants’ quarters, and kitchens for the main mansion. #palermo #sicily #sicilia #siciliabedda #sizilien #italy #italia #italien #sicilytourism…

Pagnotta or Vastidduni Bread From Sicily
Pagnotta, or “vastidduni” in Sicilian, is a typical homemade bread. This one was made by my cousin Francesca. (It was delicious!)

The 72 abstract designs were inspired by…
