Snow continues to cover the mountains, like San Calogero, pictured, over Termini Imerese. It's put a damper on our plans today, to go southeast. Such weather is an anomaly in this semi-tropical climate, and the municipalities are not equipped to clean the roads of the ice and accumulation. We are all wrapped up, drinking hot tea and cappuccini, and huddling around heaters! @ninochefelia, I know you'll love this photo, a preview of the view for our September 2019 Stirring Sicily tour!

Angelo Cambiano: ci vuole il rispetto delle regole

#nowinsicily #AngeloCambiano: ci vuole il rispetto delle regole

<< Ritengo che dal rispetto delle regole passi la sicurezza dei cittadini e lo sviluppo dei territori>> – esordisce così Angelo Cambiano, ex sindaco di Licata in provincia di Agrigento, durante un’intervista a Radio 24.

Riportiamo alcuni spunti dell’intervista per far capire al meglio la sua posizione, proprio durante i funerali delle 9 vittime della tragedia di Casteldaccia – >.

My heart is heavy knowing about the loss of life because of the Milicia River spontaneously swelling in Casteldaccia, Sicily over the weekend due to torrential rains. When I heard the tragic news, I immediately thought of the Madonna of the Milicia, the painting, pictured, that is venerated in Casteldaccia and Altavilla Milicia, coastal towns next to where my family lives. I visited the sanctuary a few years ago. Similar to other Madonnas, the Madonna of the Milicia has a similar story of arrival. In 1636, after having ravaged the coastal villages of Altavilla, a Saracen pirate ship was making its way toward Palermo to raid the city, but for some reason, it couldn’t navigate past Capo Zafferano, to the west. Legend is that the non-Christian ship’s crew was using the sacred painting pictured as a porthole lid, and when they couldn’t proceed west, out of superstition, they threw the painting into the sea thinking it would be best served in Christian hands (and would free them of their navigation troubles). The painting drifted east to Altavilla (to the mouth of the Milicia River), where the distraught townspeople received it with joy. They employed an oxen-pulled cart to show them where the Madonna wanted to reside. That spot is where today, the sanctuary for the Madonna della Milicia houses the painting. Because the distraction it created saved Palermo from the wrath of the pirates, the painting is venerated throughout the region. #casteldaccia #milicia #madonna #madonnadellamilicia #palermo #altavilla #altavillamilicia #divinefeminine #experiencesicily #sicily #sicilia #siciliabedda #italy #italia #sicilyvacation #sicilians_world #ig_sicily #igerssicilia #instasicilia #gf_italy #siculamenteDoc #sicily_tricolors #ig_visitsicily #Sicilia_PhotoGroup #smallgrouptours #traveltogether #authenticsicily #smallgrouptoursitaly #sicilytour (at Altavilla Milicia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp04XT-lcX2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pkn1nggfqgwy

La strage in Sicilia è dipesa più dal fattore climatico o da quello umano?

#StrageinSicilia: un #disastro che si poteva evitare. Decine le case abusive adiacenti al letto del #fiumeMilicia, in una zona già classificata a "forte rischio idrogeologico"

Una tragedia, l’ennesima, che si poteva evitare.

Si conclude con 12 morti, la strage in Sicilia del fiume Milicia, alle porte di Casteldaccia, in provincia di Palermo. Lungo il corso di questo fiume, ben due famiglie sono state spazzate via dalla piena furiosa dell’acqua, oltre a due vittime in provincia di Agrigento.

Mentre si fa ancora la conta dei danni, un intera comunità piange per un nuovo…
