    In this episode I'm back in Sicily, Italy, this time exploring the capital of the region; Palermo, the local beach town of Mondello, and the Ancient Greek city of Agrigento. Palermo, Sicily, is a city full of character, authenticity and beautiful monuments which tell the story of its layered past. Sicily is a region in Italy which has been conquered by all the great civilisations, from the Greeks to the Romans, Arabs to Normans, the French and Spanish. Sicilian markets are crazy and this is where you can experience local life and the Sicilian culture. The nearest beach town is Mondello which is beautiful and a great way to witness local Sicilian beach life. I also take a trip to the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento which has some of the best preserved Ancient Greek temple ruins on the island! Sicily is a unique region in Italy, with a distinct history, cuisine, culture, language and personality!

      Hi Angelica, I'm sicilian and I can witness my isle is a coffer plenty of treasures endless. Though I'm not so young even now rambling my land I keep finding news corners, new kind of food, hiden little beach, etcetera.
      As you surely realized, we sicilians have got a love and an unbreakable link with our land, hard to describe. Moreover, I like to highlight none of us feel to belong to Italy. The three colors flag is indifferent for us, our flag is Trinacria!
      Thank you very much anyway for show off our adorate land.

      First off thank you for the kind reply.
      I'll explain why that happened.
      Since Double Sicily Kingdom was joined to new country named Italy, sicilian was not only stolen of them wealth but even has been denigrating as inferiores.
      So easy can happens somebody misunderstands your question thinking you seek to insult him.
      Instead in his soul sicilian has an own proudness and nothing wich link him to Italy.
      When second war was over, in Sicily suddenly born an indipendence party wich worried a lot central government. The boss of that party was esiliated and Sicily, just to cool down that "revolutioning" movement got a peculiar indipendence..... After, truly that such privileges were unapplied.

    My grandfather was born in Palermo in 1893 and immigrated to the United States with his widowed mother in 1910 to be with her brothers who left Sicily in 1900. I grew up with my grandparents in our house but sadly they rarely spoke of their life before coming to the US. Yet we did keep most of the Sicilian traditions especially the food and mannerisms (self reliance, determination and never tell anyone your business or what you are thinking). I will be traveling to Italy (last there in 1983) and will visit Palermo looking for long lost cousins.

    To be precise, the Sicilians and the inhabitants of southern Italy are more Italian than the rest of Italy, which was conquered by German tribes (Langobardi ) in the 5th and 6th centuries AD. The inhabitants mainly of northern Italy are Germans of origin. In Sicily and southern Italy, on the contrary, the population share a lot in common with the Greeks who founded the first cities there in the 6th century BC. Greetings from Greece.

    • @ArmandoBellagio
      @ArmandoBellagio 2 месяца назад +23

      Yes, in Northern Italy there is a big Germanic influence, but I wouldn't say that Northern Italians are mainly Germanic. In Sicily you also had the Normans at some point who were also Germanic. And Greeks are also not Italians. It's all a big mix really.

      Don't forget the pagan Phoenicians, who settled in Sicily.
      First, came the 3 Italian mainland tribes: the Elymi, the Siculi, and the Sicels.
      Then, came the pagan Phoenicians lka the Lebanese, after them, the Greeks
      and some Cyprian Greeks,, following them the Romans. after them the Muslim
      North Africans, and lastly, the Norman Crusaders aka Viking descendants.
      Since the Greek Orthodox Church would not rebaptize the Cyprian Greeks,
      who had converted to Islam for economic reasons, to return to Christianity,
      they fled to the Roman Catholic Church in Sicily out of desperation and
      remained there.
      Unlike many Greek Sicilians, the Cyprian Greeks have Minoan (from Crete) DNA
      and Mycenean (from mainland Greece) DNA, both were ancient, advanced
      Greek tribes that were wiped out by natural disasters.
      As for the Muslim North Africans:
      Since the majority of Sicilians kept their dialect while the Muslims retained
      their Arabic language, the Normans were able to discern those that were
      the indigenous Sicilians. Then, the Muslims were peacefully transported back
      to their land of origin, some voluntarily converted and remained in Sicily.
      The Normans used Calabria as a holding station before returning them
      and many converted to remain there as well.
      When Sicily was occupied by the Muslims, they were treated like second class
      citizens with severe rules and penalties, inorder to induce conversion to Islam.
      Since their farmland was forcibly confiscated by them, they lived near the point of starvation.
      They also demolished their churches, that is why you will only find medieval churches.
      As for southern Italy, many have Northern Italian DNA, specifically from Liguria,
      and pagan Viking DNA. The people from the town, Benevento, which is east of Naples,
      have that DNA. I know because some of my relatives come from there.
      Since the Ligurians sided with Phoenician pagan Carthage's Hannibal
      against the brutal Romans during the Punic wars,
      the Romans transported their fellow Italians aka 40,000 Ligurians
      to that town. Later, the pagan Vikings looted that affluent town
      because they thought it was Rome. Some of them remained there
      and that accounts for the taller men.
      BTW: The average height of the ancient Roman soldier was 5 feet 8 inches,
      but the men in my family are at least 6 feet and the women are 5 feet 6-8 inches.
      That would account for the spike in height.
      My family is mostly Sicilian, with 70% Italian tribal DNA, plus Greek, Phoenician,
      and Viking DNA, and the other part is from Benevento, with Northern Italian
      Ligurian DNA, which accounts for some of us being fair
      with green eyes and red or blond hair.
      Ligurian DNA does not identify as being Germanic,
      it sits at the upper northwestern coast of Italy.

    I grew up in a Sicilian immigrant family from a town on the north coast of Sicily near Palermo. Immersed in traditions and speaking the dialect making frequent trips to visit relatives. I realized very early how we were set apart from my other non-Sicilian Italian immigrant friends. My mother's dishes from her province were considered really different almost "exotic" to them In contrast of what they were used to. The dialect incomprehensible with all the borrowed words from Greek, Arabic, French, and Spanish. Unfortunately, the original Sicilian is becoming more watered down with Italian with each generation and losing it's characteristics.

      After Marxist Garibaldi unified Italy, a step closer to a NWO,
      Sicily's young were forced to assimilate and learn the Italian dialect.
      I noticed that Italian/Sicilian Americans are more cultural and traditional
      than mainland Italians because we were unaffected by unified Italy's imposed changes.
      We are the only conquered people that retained their identity despite many foreign influences,
      especially our Catholic faith and our dialect.

      Same! It is so unique. I hope it doesn't disappear into Italian. Recently, I heard the good news that Google Translate just included it on their options for translation. Schools here in NYC are teaching it, too. I think there is a small contingent of Sicilian-Americans trying to keep it alive as well.

    Fun fact: Sicily wanted to become a US state after the WW 2. It is not a joke. What you say about Sicily can be said about each and every italian region: the regional, and often local, identity is stronger, much stronger that the national one. For instance, I am Tuscan, then Italian, then European. The same thing goes for every Italian. But we are Italians anyway. The Italian language was born in Sicily btw, under a Norman'German emperor, not in Tuscany, as many believe.

      I appreciate what you wrote, and agree about many of us Italians having a strong, very strong regional identity. I woudn't go as far as to say it is stronger than the national one. In the case of Sicilian it is undeniably so. But, for instance in my case, I am from Lombardia, where I live, but I woudn't define myself as lombarda before anything else. It would sound silly to me. Rather, I would define myself as Italian and European.

To see how things truly go there, just as I enjoyed the entire city of Venice. Every section had its unique vibe, scenery and livelihood.

Lo so, per gli stranieri è inconcepibile, all'estero dove vai vai, è tutto uguale (quello che trovi a Mosca lo trovi pure a San Pietroburgo, lingua e usanze sono le stesse, nonostante siano lontane centinaia di chilometri).
