A beautiful journey.

I enjoyed very much this journey in Sicily: so many nice landscapes, so many interesting towns and villages and a great history.

First of all I enjoyed the zoom about the sign language in Sicily: Luca Vullo, a humorist explains that Sicilian people communicate in the daily life with about 250 different signs (without speaking any words): in the past this was a secret way to communicate between them.

Silicy is a place of fishermen: we meet Nino and Salvatore who are fishing in the sea and they catch conger eels. Besides we meet Claire Coupel, a marine biologist who dives near the island of Ustica and Annalisa Palania , a research who studies the fishes of the marine resrve of Ustica.

Then we have the Etna volcano, Roberto , a volcanologist knows well this volcan with its 350 craters and is an excellent guide for the tourists.

Besides the Sicilian people take advantages of this volcan: there are.basalt stone pits and on the other side Andrea Passanisi take advantages of the volcanic soils and produces avocados.

In Plermo we meet Florentino, a guide who shows to the tourists a lot of palaces and Andrea Federico who lives in a restored palace shows the palace of his family to the visitors.

Then some words about the National Park of Madonie (Unesco World heritage site): a great biodiversity of plants and animal: in the gorges the guide Mario Cicero shows the gr¡iffon vulture to the tourists.

Moreover we meet Fabio d'Agata, a courageous journalist who has written about the Sicilian mafia and who manages the organic farm (Tenuta Santa Tecla".

I enjoyed the encounters of Tiga with Marco Cappucio, the fishmonger and musician (the visit of the old town of Syracuse), with Alfredo Mauceri (the puppeteer), with Roberto, the king of the cannoli, with Antonio Forlin , the potter (the visit of Taormina and the flight over the Etna9, with Héloïse Hascoët (the visit of Ragusa), with Damiano Rotello (the painter of the Sicilian charriots), with Conrado Arrezzo (the visit of the Arrezzo castle9, with Salvatore Puglisi (the husband of Héloïse and chef), and with Maurizio Stellino , the farmer of Enna (the olive and almond trees and the margherita pizza): very nice encounters with very kind Sicilian men and women.
