My blood, maternal origin, flows half of the color of the ceramics of Caltagirone.
A glorious city in the past but also in the present. For over two millennia stronghold privileged Byzantines, Arabs, Normans and Genoese
that controlled the two flat, with Catania and Gela.
the beautiful staircase ..
The long stairway S. Maria del Monte, commonly known as "The Matrix" , in which each of the 142 raised is decorated with a different pattern of ceramic tiles that reflect the styles of the past, seems to dominate the world .. The excitement seems to restrain the words.

There is a real gastronomic culture, reflects rather the influence of Sicily in general. |
The family Scelba. Very
conosicuta Caltagirone for, say, "political ancestors." Sure, there are very good and the recipes tend to be well known but shall reserve for the next post. Wonderful
lost for the silent streets, the alleys intact, meticulously maintained where it seems that globalization is never reached.
A country that still retains its matrix, its identity perfectly clean and recognizable.
The weather was our friend. The heat seemed to summer, but dry.
Around lunch time, between the dense and labyrinthine streets, we found a restaurant and rooms for rent:
sanapone
fried with chilli and fresh laurel
ever eaten, a vegetable mountain amarostica yet sweet that typically accompanies the sausage without fennel , always browned in a pan with the garlic.
This post is a tribute to the land of my mother, full of scents, memories and traditional colors.
