THE SICILIANEDDE SICILY IN ROME

The Sicilianedde's journey to Rome is not only a meeting of dialects and customs, but also a fusion of identities. Sicilians who move to the capital bring with them the warm welcome, the unmistakable cuisine and the folklore of the island.

Roman streets, markets and trattorias are enriched with Sicilian sounds, tastes and colors: from “cannolo” to “cassata,” from “couscous” to delicious arancine. And even in language, Romans often incorporate Sicilian expressions, demonstrating a friendship and esteem that cross generations.

  • Sicily, an island with a thousand-year history, boasts extraordinary monuments such as the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, the Greek Theatre in Catania and the Cathedral of Palermo. Every corner tells of a past rich in Greek, Roman, Arab and Norman influences. The life of Sicilians has always been linked to the sea: fishermen, even today, keep an ancient tradition alive, a symbol of a land that has lived off the sea and hard work.
