SICILY IS NOT ITALY!!

______________
In this video I explore Sicily, Italy. I visit towns in the South East region of Sicily, including Catania, Noto, Syracuse and Ortigia. Sicily is a fascinating island in the South of Italy, with a rich mix of culture, history, food and the friendliest locals in Italy! I explore the bustling fish market in Catania, as well as try some popular Catanese dishes like pasta alla norma and eggplant caponata, I also feel adventurous enough to try the Catania specialty, horse meat burgers! I then visit the beautiful region of Noto and do some wine tasting of the famous nero d'avola red wine at a beautiful vineyard. Noto is a beautiful town known for it's sandstone cathedrals. I also visit the seaside town of Syracuse and Ortigia which have some incredible ancient Greek sites like the archeological park of Syracuse.

A HUGE thank you to Renato for such a fun tour of Catania, I highly recommend his tour. Here is the link:

"In Catania we have a lot of problems except the food" LOL I love this.
I was just in Catania and, as an Italian, I have to say you did an amazing job at capturing the vibrant essence of the market!

Grew up in Corinth in Greece, it makes me very eager to see where my predecessors build their colony 2800 years ago. Love the country, but there is definitely a greater connection with Sicily. Quite enjoy your programs Angelica.

I love how she mixes different languages (portuguese, spanish, with italian) and still gets to have a small conversation, I did the same while in Italy because I don't speak Italian well enough 😊

Someone who doesn't just go to tourist hotspots but also goes to local areas. I almost felt Sicilian watching this haha. Respect.

Italy is such a beautiful country and to have it exposed in detail by a beautiful lady is just so invigorating and tempting.. You have a special talent that makes these video's so enjoyable. Thank you...

I was in Sicily and Catania in may 2023, and I found the city and island incredible and beautiful. Thanks for the great video 😊

Loved the video snapshot of the Sicilian south east. I’m Canadian of Italian descent, Le Marche (father) and Calabria (mother). My wife is Canadian of Sicilian descent, Ragusa (father) and Siracusa (mother). We both still have family in our respective regions. I’m 64 and going to Italy and Sicily is on my bucket list, God willing. 🙏🇮🇹🇨🇦

Always love your video. Your focus on people culture food architecture of that place gives us a 360 degree view of that place which is marvelous.

You would be surpised how much Siclians and Italians are the same in Canada. I was born in Calaribia raised in Toronto we all keep the love Of Italians and Italy in our heart. I feel something is missing when I'm in Canadian society. When I meet Italians I'm very joyful. I wonder having Italian teachers been like.

I love this, I quote: "in Catania we have a lot of problems except for food" And I love it even more because it remembered me to my beautiful Mexico ❤

I remembered my school days back in London . I used to lodge with an Italian family originally from Napoli . She used to cook a lot of pasta , all kinds and they had their home made wine. I was like a member of the family. They were such nice people. Thank God.

Renato is great! Thank you for showing us around.

I absolutely love your videos, Malini. The production quality of the videos is so good it deserves to be on actual national television. You have filled a big Rick Steves shaped hole in my heart. They are big shoes to fill and you’ve more than filled them. Keep up the amazing work. Looking forward to more of your videos.

I loved it! Brava! One thing I recognize in Sicily is the fact that we have integrated the culture of everyone who invaded us, we are very evolved in that sense, we get used to impossible things very rapidly when we have to, unfortunately we are not evolved in keeping our treasures clean and in pristine conditions.

Once again, our hosts beauty overshadows the local scenery.
Evkharisto poli Malina.

[salhj]

"Hidden in its architecture, lived by its people and consumed in its food", what a beautiful line.

[anna.mahan.]
