  • We go to Seradifalco in the Province of Calatanissetta and Tortorici in Messina to find the ancestral homes of a NY couple. For more Sicilian experiences join our channel group here:
    / @youmeandsicily
    Watch as Sicilians help us find the exact home in Seradifalco, an area once full of miners now mostly relying on agriculture. In Tortorici we find narrow cobble stone streets and beautiful churches. Remember to ask locals what the typical products are for the area. We also have a cannoli stuffing recipe for you that is simple and delicious!

    Buon giorno! My heart was so happy to see all that cacciocavallo hanging up in the store. It reminded me of seeing it in my grandparents' ancestral Sicilian village a few years ago. It's about time for us to go back. Thank you for this episode.

    Love your videos! My maternal grandparents are from the island of Salina, which is part of the province of Messina. I was fortunate enough to visit many years ago and met some of our relatives, but unfortunately lost touch. The family roots can be traced back to the area for more than 900 years. Fascinating when one is able to trace their roots. Thank you for sharing and the New England accent brings me home!😊

    That is great the all the Sicilian's help you. My grandparents came over from Modica, Sicily. The last name is "Rosa" (Grandfather). I am sure it will be harder to find their home. Also Scarso is my grandmother's maiden surname. I think we have some family on Scarso side in Modica, so they can help also.

    Hello guys I am anxious to be in the labor force. Then be able to join the rest of the RUclipsrs that are part of You, Me & Sicily. Last night mother and I were watching something on RUclips about Catania and how there is a small little place that cooks horse meat and people stop by on a lazy sunday afternoon and have that and some beer by the brand name of Messina just like the town. Have you ever heard of it?

    • @YouMeandSicily

      A section of Catania has several restaurants specializing in horse meat

      You may be able to find it at the commune(town hall in Monreale ) or hire a researcher or genealogist to help you find it.

      @YouMeandSicily The last and only time I visited Sicily was in 1972. When I visited Santa Ninfa, it had been destroyed by an earthquake. I remember waking in to the mother church rubble all around but I walked up to the alter.
