    You made a great job and great pronunciation in Italian . Only thing is ,both minne and minnuzze is Sicilian for tette ( teats) ... Something that ends with uzzo/a/e/I in Sicilian is an affectionate version of the original word , nearly a smaller version ,so minnuzze is like saying teaties instead of teats ( minne )

    Thank you for these videos on Sicily, specifically! I’ve always wanted to go there. Are the Catholics there religious, meaning they attend weekly Mass, or are these traditions more cultural?

    • @YouMeandSicily
      @YouMeandSicily  6 лет назад +2

      Thank you ! Sicilians are very serious about their religion and do attend weekly mass!

      Jen not really , just like everywhere else in the world some are religious some are not . Saint Agata festivity is very much like Christmas here , so not necessarily a religious thing , it’s nearly an event that reminds you that spring is nearly happening ... I’m from Catania and I’ve been raised atheist and like me many others . It’s a myth that Italians are that religious . These traditions are defiantly more cultural and I don’t know anyone who attend mass weekly. No even the most religious ones . It’s pretty rare and maybe in the older generation to attend weekly mass .
