Funny how some people see Sicilians as a different entity from Italians. They have of course a strong local identity, but they are Italians nonetheless. They speak Italian! So if you speak Italian, you are not going to have a single problem, unless you are in some extremely remote village (provided there still is such a place.....) and the only human being you come across is a over80 peasant.... :p

Enjoy your trip, Sicily is magic.


I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic. I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things. I don't tell the truth. I tell what ought to be truth (Blanche/A streetcar named desire)
