Information about how to purchase this book Available in English and Italian language This volume offers the temple of Segesta, eternal and isolated in the midst of the country side, the Good Friday processions involving entire cities, the desolate conditions of the Baroque in small towns, Sicily's sea, island and volcanoes - all these images might well destabilise readers, but they will also and above all make them think and drive their imagination beyond the mere surface of the photographs into the spirit of an ancient land whose natural and architectural treasures are part of the inheritance of humanity itself.
Authors: Enzo Russo, Giovanni Francesio, Melo Minnella Information about how to purchase this book Available in English and Italian language Few places in the world have experienced such an intense and eventful history as Sicily. Rocked by revolts and power-struggles, rejoicing in great splendour and freedoms, over thousands of years this small island has been a crossroads for many peoples, religions and cultures - and its melting-pot of influences has created a unique spirit of "Sicilian-ness". This hook - with evocative photographs by Melo Minnella - attempts to capture the elusive spirit of Sicily, its inhabitants and its landscape, and offers a sweeping account of the island, from ancient history up to the present day.

In Sicily, fest and processions are synonymous, as prayer and parties. Sure, many things change: statues of Saints that today cross the ways on top of vans or truck, and lamps replaced the fire in top of wood candles. The unifying element of the book could be the changes, sometimes obvious, than in the years influenced the modalities of the same feasts. The choice has fallen on more or less known celebrations, characterized by great emotional intensity (inherited from the Greeks and from the antient pagans) but also on those characterized by a great religious sense. Colors, voices, intense mysticism, all is equally source of show during the nocturnal processioni in winter, or in the warmer hours in summer. Common element of the described feasts is the absolute participation of the interested communities, and this makes the same feasts particularly and extraordinarily. despite the changing times.

U MalocchiuHilarious dialectal three-act play of Giovanni Maniscalco
A production of G.B. Organization di Giovanni Maniscalco The Plot of "U Malocchiu" is set in Sicily, "U Malocchiu" tells about the events of a family, whose components, father, mother and engaged daughter, are up against unfavorable situations, overtaken by panic and suggestion they are convinced they are victims of a "Malocchio", that is a "witchcraft", to get rid of it they talk with the magician Oronzo. Naturally the purpose of the magician isn't to help the three victims, but to capitalize on earning on their simple-mindedness. Only at the end, after a series of events, very amusing, our characters open their eyes thanks to the intervention of the daughter's boyfriend. The theater of Giovanni Maniscalco is a comic one, permeated by a sound realism that allows him to part from a purely farcical fact to raise the emblem of contradictions of a social reality that is wanting of strong landmarks. The language used in the performance is that spoken everyday where the real life takes place that the characters perform on the stage: the Sicilian of the areas of Marsala. The protagonists of the opera, Vittorio, Sara, Lucrezia, in this sense, are practically the mirror of a society where more often values decay in the individual and in the general conscience and to be replaced by prejudices and superstition.
