    My wife and I will be spending 5 days in Sciacca in February 2023. Both sets of my maternal great-grandparents immigrated from Sciacca to the North End of Boston via NY between 1902 and 1904. We can't wait!!

    Both of my grandparents came from Sciacca. I finally got to visit just one year before this video was made with my sister and father. We had a wonderful time visiting Sciacca! Granita e brioche was my favorite! Thank you for posting this extremely well-made tour of Sciacca.
