U Liotru, Catania, Sicilia
Bellini is the white man there behind the fountainSicilian customs
Sicily greets a lot of tourists from all parts of the world. But when we go off the beating tourist path, we find the deep and traditional Sicily very prudish. I remember to have had a fair discussion with a Sicilian mother who was astonished to see my wife and my daugter both wearing a short trouser.
An other cultural habit frequent in the European warm countries. The native men seem to live in the streets. I do not know if they are on holiday or unemployed or if they are night-workers. They are waiting on the footpaths and when a known car stops (and obstrucks the street) they cross to have a short talk with the driver. It seems to be too visible to be an unlegale traffic but the Mafia is not so far...
