SICILY
  di Gaetano Belverde
Place in which the scorching sun of July found its abode, forging the minds of the folks. 
Earth of passions, legends and myths.... Land courted from the people and crossroads of civilization.
Mother of a strong and tenacious people, that was always able to reconstruct with increasing tastefully dedication what  the  Mother  herself swept away and covered, more and more, with her fiery lymph, fruit of the bowel of the earth, bubbling out from the top of the mountain.

Etna, the Volcano photo: F.Barbagallo





Mother that disemboweled the houses and the temples with the grave grumbles of the hell. 
Severe and helpful at the same time. Mother that magnetizes and  that welcomes in her bosom the foreigner, sending him into ecstasy with her landscapes, with her colors, with her perfumes.

Ruin of Buscemi's Castle photo: V.Giannella




Mother that  jealousy preserves the dearest memories of her own sons, hiding, in each corner, testimonies of endless civilization. 
Earth that alternates between emerald green jewels embedded in the blue of the sea, and inner lowlands burned from the sun.
 
rapture of Persefone
 Lowlands that don't have still known the pardon of Demetra for the abduction by Plutone, God of the Ade, of her daughter Persefone  just in the valleys below Enna.
. 
In this magic land each insignificant stone is a tessera of the history of a remote past.
 A sanguinary past, colored of blood, torn because of wars of conquest.... but in the mean time a post of splendor of peace and civilization. 
Come here to virtually move in the places I love , wishing you to physically come in to visit the land of the Cyclopes.
