______________
In this video I explore Sicily, Italy. I visit towns in the South East region of Sicily, including Catania, Noto, Syracuse and Ortigia. Sicily is a fascinating island in the South of Italy, with a rich mix of culture, history, food and the friendliest locals in Italy! I explore the bustling fish market in Catania, as well as try some popular Catanese dishes like pasta alla norma and eggplant caponata, I also feel adventurous enough to try the Catania specialty, horse meat burgers! I then visit the beautiful region of Noto and do some wine tasting of the famous nero d'avola red wine at a beautiful vineyard. Noto is a beautiful town known for it's sandstone cathedrals. I also visit the seaside town of Syracuse and Ortigia which have some incredible ancient Greek sites like the archeological park of Syracuse.
A HUGE thank you to Renato for such a fun tour of Catania, I highly recommend his tour. Here is the link:

Correct. Let's see. PM Giorgia Meloni is Sicilian( we know she's born in Rome), President Sergio Mattarella is Sicilian, Ignazio La Russa President of the Italian Senate is Sicilian. So the Top 3 politicians in all of Italy are Sicilian. Tell them they aren't Italians. Haha. From there you can go on and on to other countless Sicilians. I am Sicilian and I understand what is meant by this video, and I love the history of Sicily, which is what makes it such a great place. But it isn't literally meant to not be Italy at all.

Sono al 50% siciliano di origini (mamma di Messina), ma nato e cresciuto al Nord. Sicuramente la Sicilia ed il Sud sono molto, molto diversi dalle regioni dell’Italia settentrionale. Hanno un’impronta mediterranea che li accomuna ad esempio alla Grecia, anche per regioni etniche e di storia antica. Non di meno la Sicilia è Italia, così come lo sono il Trentino, o la Val d’Aosta, o il Friuli, o la Sardegna. Sono varianti di un’unica radice italica, declinata in modi molto diversi. Di sicuro la Sicilia non è “araba”

[@ianmarchese402]

Ma lo è stata, e molta della nostra cultura deriva proprio da lì, dal Maghreb. Sei a conoscenza che noi, a Palermo, abbiamo molte nomenclature delle vie del centro in tre lingue, cioè italiano, arabo ed ebreo? Che il nostro canto folkloristico è tipicamente arabo? Che il piastrellamento tipico, cioè le maioliche, sono maghrebine? Che nella parte occidentale dell'isola il cous cous, che noi chiamiamo cùscusu, è un piatto tipico esattamente come nel maghreb? Potrei farti una lista senza fine delle cose che, nella nostra cultura e vita giornaliera, derivano dal mondo arabo. Quindi... hai ben detto, sei solo per metà siciliano e sei nato/cresciuto al nord, non conosci affatto la Sicilia. Oltretutto per metà messinese, dove l'impronta culturale maggioritaria è di stampo ellenico, cioè greco. Assabbinirìca: saluto siciliano di origine araba e derivante da "as-salamu alaykum" 👍🏼

Well this where part of my family comes from and the older I get the more I appreciate it-mind you I still think my relatives are mad-they could start a argument on their own.

Greetings from San Diego, California! San Diego is like Mediterranean of USA. ⛪🚢🇺🇲 Our climate looks so similar to those places even the winery! Lots of Spanish architecture here! Would love to see more Italian, or 'Sicilian' architecture here as well! 🇺🇲🇮🇹

Thanks for sharing!

True, I'm Italian and have been to San Diego... real cool, nice mixed American and Latin vibes, really enjoyable 👍

[@xchpstang]

San Diego weather is a bit cool and mild in the summer to be typical Mediterranean weather. I think inland California is more typical of what Mediterranean weather is. Think Central Valley CA, Paso Robles, inland Ventura County, northern Napa Valley, even Temecula. Typical weather in those areas is near or above 100 degree hot and dry summer days while somewhat cooling off in the evenings to 60's and low 70's. No snow in the winter but can definitely get near or below freezing overnight on the coldest winter days but usually warming up in the 50s and perhaps 60s during the day. After traveling to southern Spain, Italy, and the south of France, both in winter and summer that's what Mediterranean weather is.

For most of it's history, it was not part of Italy. Italy did not exist until the 1860s.

[@belgravia85]

@@LUIS-ox1bv that is true for every part of the country. We were a collection of city states and duchies for a thousand years and more. And Italy existed as a nation well before the day of unification. If you don;t know our history, learn and come back when you say something less stupid.

Great work.

Thank you, enjoyed watching.

Thank you for such a wonderful video! I was in Sicily for two months and this really took me back. What I loved about the island so much is how vastly different each region is, and how stunning! But my favourite place is Palermo ❤

[@Malini.Angelica]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! Palermo is indeed beautiful, we will go back and do a video on another region for sure 🤍🤍

Sicilian Baroque is the distinctive form of Baroque architecture which evolved on the island of Sicily, off the southern coast of Italy, in the 17th and 18th centuries, when it was part of the Spanish Empire

[@LUIS-ox1bv]

Yes. Many forget, that Sicily was under Spanish control for quite a while. It was the Spaniards who brought tomatoes from Mexico to Europe. Sicily was also under the control of the Normans and Arabs, and a major Greek colony in ancient times.They have all left their stamp on the island's distinctive flavor.

[@shrektheswampless6102]

@@LUIS-ox1bv sicily since the fall of the roman empire never had the opportunity to become an independent kingdom caused by the various foreign powers fighting each other for the control over the island which is in a strategic position at the center of the mediterean sea.

[@aofg]

@@LUIS-ox1bv Most important mark on the island was left by the Romans. Sicilians speak a romance language, their religion/culture is Roman. That dude grossly exaggerated the Arab basically invisible influence. Eastern part of Sicily was in the hands of the Carthage, a Canaanite people, so they were Semitic and closely related to the Arabs. I suspect that in Eastern Sicily might still be some faint Carthaginian traces that they confuse with the Arab ones. As for the market, he should travel more, all markets are like that everywhere traditional markets still exist.
