I hope that the rain can wash away the veil of sadness that formed in my soul.

After 6 years abroad

My mother tongue (Italian) worsened.

My English skills are still so so.

My Dutch is meh.

I have actually understood the 98%. I am impressed! :D

I don’t even know. It’s from a book about languages my friend’s been reading. (it’s creepy that I can understand it …)

BAGHERIA - VILLA ARAGONA CUTO’

Verso la fine del 1700, diminuendo le scorrerie dei pirati turchi, i vari principi e nobile palermitani spostarono la loro residenza estiva a Bagheria dove vennero realizzate per accoglierli bellissime ed eleganti ville. Il principe d’Aragona fu uno di questi che realizzò, in un luogo allora isolato,  una splendida villa che poi vendette ai principi Filageri di Cutò, una delle famiglie nobili siciliani più antiche e gloriose. Il Principe di Lampedusa, l’autore del libro “il Gattopardo”, discendente per parte materna dai Filangeri, vendette la villa a dei borghesi locali che la cedettero in seguito al comune di Bagheria. E’ difficile trovare foto relative all’interno della villa trasformata in museo, solo l’instancabile Francesco (www.francescoinviaggio.it) riporta nel suo sito alcune foto del suo bellissimo interno, ricco di pavimenti in maiolica, e stupendi affreschi dell’instancabile ed onnipresente Borremans.

Towards the end of the 1700s, diminishing the raids of the Turkish pirates, the various princes and noble Palermo moved their summer residence to Bagheria where enormous and elegant villas were built to welcome them. The prince of Aragon was one of these who built, in a place then isolated, a splendid villa which he then sold to the princes Filageri di Cutò, one of the most ancient and glorious Sicilian noble families. The Prince of Lampedusa, the author of the book “the Leopard”, a descendant on his mother’s side from the Filangeri, sold the villa to local bourgeois who sold it to the municipality of Bagheria. It is difficult to find relative photos inside the villa transformed into a museum, only the tireless Francesco (www.francescoinviaggio.it) reports on his site some photos of his beautiful interior, rich in majolica floors, and stupendous frescoes by the tireless and ubiquitous Borremans.

Ma quanto è bello svegliarsi e cominciare il giorno con una bella fetta di cassata anche qui in Olanda.

Un vero toccasana contro la nostalgia.

Mi sento già meglio!

***

How beautiful is to wake up and start your day with a big slice of cassata also here in the Netherlands.

It is truly a panacea against nostalgia.

I already feel better!

Live from Sicily! Yesterday, after closing our two-week private tour (What a wonderful time I had with the family!), I headed to Salemi, a truly undiscovered treasure in Trapani Province. I met with @visitborgosalemi to learn more about this fascinating town and how we can collaborate to share it with @experiencesicily clients. I’m thrilled about the possibilities!

25.04.19 - Monreale.

When I walk in these old pretty street I feel very lucky. Lucky of being born and raised in a land rich of history and culture. Sicily is this and much more.
