- I like the web site. I found the history interesting. I have a hard
time keeping all the different rulers of Sicily throghout history
straight. I have come to name my ancestry as Sicilian instead of Italian
even though my maternal grandmother was from the province of Avellino.
She married a Sicilian. My paternal grandparents were both from Sicily.
Thanks for making this information
available.

- Nino auguri,
I found this website by accident and and I am
extremely exited about it. My father was born and spent his first 9
years in Grammichele, Sicily before coming to America in 1947. My mother
was born in America and is of Italian descent but we don't hold that
against her. My wife is Sicilian and we both both just visited Bedda
Sicilia. Her mother is from Palermo and her father Bagheria.
It was
an eye opening experience for me and fell in love with the island and
its people. I am teaching myself both Italian and Sicilian and have just
joined Arba Sicula to further increase my knowledge of Sicily and the
language of my father. Thank you for this incredible web site. I'm
sure it gives all of us, that are searching for our roots, hope for the
future of all of our families. I intend to teach my children both
Sicilan and Italian. Grazii Steve Grosso AH, IL |

- Nino, Brava! What a wonderful site. My mother was born in
Porticello, Provincia di Palermo. I remember her speaking Sicilian with
her parents, but she now has lost almost all of her Sicilian. It's a
terrible pity, since I would love to learn, since she is 75 and I want
very much to pass a knowledge of the language on to my children some
day.
I am linking to your site from my Provincia di Palermo

Last time I visited Sicily,I noted that the new generations are allmost
embarrassed to speak the sicilian dialet. In my house we still speak
sicilian dialet,and I will continue antill I die. Baciamo le mani.

- My name is Mark Meli and I'm from Upstate, NY. My father's side of
the family is from Sicily. From the way my father described it to me, I
could very well be related to Giovanni Meli the poet. Dad said his
father and mother were from a town called Real Monte in Palermo.
Grandmother's maiden name was Tuttulimondo and her father was the mayor
(?) of the town in the early 1900's. If anyone has more info, please let
me know.

raised in Canada. My parents are Sicilian (dalla provincia di Trapani).
I have always spoken Sicilian with my grandparents as well. Who knew
there were other people out there who were as passionate about saving my
culture and language as I? We cannot allow our wonderful heritage to
disintegrate! Keep up the traditions! And to you Nino, AUGURI and keep
up the good work! We need people like you! :)

My father is Irish and mother is Sicilian. I have been
wanting to learn more on my families history and in part where my
heritage begins. I came upon your site through surfing the net and I
wanted to tell you how wonderful this site is. While reading through it
all I learned things I didn't know, things that brought tears to my eyes
and a smile to my face. In all, I found things that make me even more
proud of my heritage. I have always told myself I wanted to learn the
language, and starting tomorrow I will. Thank you. Respectfully, Michael Ray |

I am a Hungarian girl, and I
have a Sicilian boyfriend (he lives in Geneva, Switzerland) with whom I
have learnt the Italian language. Now I am willing to learn the Sicilian
dialect as well :) But it is almost impossible to find someone here
in Budapest who would teach me this interesting and wonderful-sounding
language :( |

language that I haven't spoken since I was a child. When I called my
mother and started speaking Sicilian to her, she was thrilled! She was
born and raised in Villagrazia di Carini but now lives in the US. Learning about Sicilian history has also been very interesting.
I really appreciate your efforts! Thank you, Antonella

sono Sara Cappello, cantautrice popolare di Sicilia;
sono molto grata a quanti come te, diffondono, difendono il nostro
dialetto, la nostra identità di siciliani. Desidero segnalarti il mio
sito sulla musica popolare di Sicilia; sono presenti oltre la mia home
page, un ricco catalogo di dischi di musica popolare; è importante che
la nostra musica venga diffusa anche all'estero ed arrivi ai nostri
emigrati. Se puoi diffondere il sito, segnalarlo, in America, te ne
sarei gratissima...e sicuramente anche i nostri siciliani all'estero. In
bocca al lupo per il resto. Grazie con simpatia Sara Cappello - www.palermoweb.com/lamusicadelsole |

- I am second generation Sicilian born in USA. My grandmother
Concetta(Drago) Sollecito came from Siracusa by boat to Ellis Island in
1908 along with my great grandmother Carmella Drago and my two uncles
Joseph and Frank. My grandfather, Andrea Sollecito, came to America with
the Merchant Marines and after 3 years he sent for my grandmother, the
two children, her mother and her sister.
I do not speak Italian or
Sicilian. I would like to visit Siracusa in May 2004 for one month and
to locate my ancesters property address and the cemetary that my great,
great grandparents (Drago and Sollecito) are buried. The eight children
born in the US were not allowed to speak Sicilian; therefore, my mother
did not speak. This makes me very sad and now I would like to learn.
This is a wonderful website and it has brought tears to my eyes and I
thank you very much. Linda (Sollecito/Troiano) Engel |

- Hi I'm a portorican that lived in Sicily for five years, 1983-88, my
husband worked of the Naval Station Sigonella, Provincia di Catania.
Three years ago I went back with my daughters, a misted a lot. Living in
Sicily a fill like for some strange reason this happen to me. I never
forget Sicily, thanks for having this. Sicilian are different and I
learned that there is more than the back history of Sicily, is a
beautiful country, with a history, monuments, good food, beaches, and
the people. I can keep writing. A a piece of my heart still there and
here in my soul. I will like to go back for vacations. I love my country
Puerto Rico but Sicily is my second home.
With a lot of love and
sadness in my deep feelings. Sincerely, Ada |

- Mr. Russo:
I just came across your website and I have found
it extreme-ly interesting. I am 49 years of age and of Sicilian
ances-try -my grandparents came from Trapani and Palermo- with pa-ternal surnames of Di Giovanni and Lo Vecchio and maternal
surnames of D'Agostino and De Lopez (from Spain).
I speak
the Italian Language fairly well but I do not speak Sicilian. I
would like to learn. In your opinion what books
would you recommend
in learning the Sicilian language.
Thank you.
Angelo
Gino DiGiovanni, III

Sicilian-American, I long for sites that portray us properly, not like
the Soprano's. Your site is informative and truly a gem for all
Sicilians and those that really want to know what a Sicilian is !! Thank you.

- Very good job of writing in Sicilian. I was surprised that it was so
close to the dialect I grew up with, as I know that there are several
regional diallects within Sicily. I'm guessing you are from the Messina
area.
Like you I was born In Sicily, and have made the US my
adopted country, tho' Sicily will always be my mother.
Wish you
well.

- Great webpage. I don't have any vested interests but I would like to
tell everyone about a Sicilian website where you can buy cookies from
Sicily. They specialize in almond cookies (Dolce di Mandorle). Even with
the cost of shipping they are still reasonable and they arrive in a
fresh condition. Allow 10 to 14 days for delivery. They make an
excellent gift and they are delicious:

alive. I just met my grandmother's family (TRUNCALI) in Caltabellotta,
Agrigento, Sicily and the whole town was wonderful. I am just learning
the language and I applaud you for keeping it alive. If anyone has info
on TRUNCALI, SOLDANO, GRISAFI, GUARINO, TRAFICANTE, STRAVALLI in Sicily,
or COLAIANNI / COLIANNI, I would love to hear from you. Ciao,
