  • Mementos for Your Carry-On

    Souvenir shop, Noto. No trip to Sicily would be complete without purchasing some ceramics to take home. Other mementos of Sicily to consider stuffing in your carry-on are preserves and honey (for example, crema di pistacchio, pistacchio pesto, wild fennel pesto, orange marmalade, citron jam, and bee honey from the fichi d’india), Malvasia wine, marzipan…

  • Power of the People: Lo Zingaro

    Along Sicily’s north-west coast between Castellammare del Golfo and San Vito Lo Capo exists a protected area known as “Lo Zingaro” Nature Reserve. Lo Zingaro was founded in 1981 after environmentally-minded citizens staged a protest-march in May 1980 to prevent the approximately 4000 acres of land from being developed and bisected by a coastal highway.…

  • Nino Parrucca’s Joy Captured in Ceramics

    Nino Parrucca’s artistry as a ceramist makes me smile. His work has a sense of joy while always staying true to Sicily. Here is a small plate formed into a cactus leaf I use for keys; however, it was intended to rest an espresso cup shaped like the fichi d’india’s fruit. #ninoparrucca #palermo #ceramics #ceramica…
