Stemmari and the Sicilian territory
Palpiti di Sicilia
Dipping your fingers into a dough, working it with steady, sure hands; passion is creating, shaping. From flour to Cassata, from grapes to wine.
Against the background of the Mediterranean Sea stands a prickly pear tree. With sweet roundness and red fruits with its thorns, sharp and pointed. Its features embody an all-Sicilian invitation: to show yourself as you are. To pursue a passion, you have to unveil yourself.
Fare scrusciu in Sicilian dialect means to make noise to attract attention and to get heard. It is lively extravagance, fullness, exaggeration.
The territory
To visit Sicily is to get lost in a vast and varied world. Italy's largest region is a succession of surroundings, landscapes and places that change in just a few kilometers. Nature gives the sea and volcanoes, hills and mountains; equally varied is the art, thanks to artistic heritage from different eras from ancient Roman baths to Baroque sculptures.
Culture
Walking in the streets of Sicily, you can feel the tradition in every detail. In the gastronomy that includes some of the best-known (and best!) dishes in Italy, in the local festivals that liven up towns and cities or in the dialect that can be heard from half-open doorways or the chatter in the streets.
Sicily charms with its warmth, passion and energy, like the paintings on the carts or the thousand colors of the Moor’s Heads, two of the island's most iconic symbols.
