From the Greeks to the Arabs to the Normans, Palermo is a treasure trove of cultural history. Walking through the streets and alleyways, I felt like Indiana Jones marveling at the architectural echoes of these ancient civilizations.

Inspired by actual events, “Siciliana” is an unforgettable historical epic novel that unfurls in the tradition of great works of Sicilian literature such as Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa’s “The Leopard” (now a 6-part series coming to Netflix).

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas 🎄🐙, especially in the kitchen with dad. This is how we bring traditional Sicilian Christmas flavors to the table—with panelli, pasta with ruby sauce, octopus, and sweet treats like cassatini and cannoli. Buon Natale to all my fellow foodies out there.

People speak of hope as if it is this delicate, ephemeral thing made of whispers and spider's webs. It's not. Hope has dirt on her face, blood on her knuckles, the grit of the cobblestones in her hair, and just spat out a tooth as she rises for another go.

🌋⚔️ Aetna Vespiri stood at the edge of Mount Etna, staring into the fiery heart of Sicily’s greatest force of destruction and renewal.
Aetna was no longer just a warrior—she was the lava.
She was the rebirth of a new era.
She was "Siciliana."

🌋⚔️ Aetna Vespiri is a force forged from the fiery depths of her homeland, where ancient mountains smolder and spirits burn with defiance. She doesn’t bend or break; her mind is as unyielding as the volcanic peaks of Sicily itself.
