My wife and I went to Cefalu and Taormina this past fall. Cefalu called to me because my great grandparents are from there. I immediately feel in Love. I would love to retire there. Not sure my wife has the same thoughts though 😉 She is not sold on living out of US yet (plus grandkids and all here in USA) I might be able to sell her on 6 months a year though or something like that. I am going to subscribe to your channel now!
Love this short video. I find it amazing that Alfred thinks and feels about Sicily the same way I do, which is also one of the reasons I enjoy his books so much. In fact, I couldn’t believe it when I heard him talking about being ‘a square peg in a round hole’ until he moved the Sicily. - I’ve said the same thing. I too am 100% Sicilian and grew up with my parents and grandparents speaking dialect at home. Sicily calls to me and when I am there and I feel like I’ve come home.
Hi there! Love watching you both with your journey!! I am trying to figure out the last piece for me being able to retire there regarding flying my dogs into CTA. I sent you an email on your website as well. I can't figure out where you pick up your dogs that flew in the cargo hold of the plane and how to clear customs for the dogs arriving in from the US. There is no information on the CTA website or anywhere on the internet so I'm wondering if it's even possible.
My wife and I just visited a friend/brother in Palma di Montechiaro and I must say Sicily also went into my blood !!! Santo Stefano di Camastra… Spectacular!!!
Sicily is an "Outdoor Museum" Love that!! So true! Also a Culture Treasure. Greeks. Arabs. French. Vikings and so many other cultures all blended together to create Sicily!
I love that you refer to your grandparents as "nanna and nannu" and not nonna and nonno. When I visited my family in Motta d'affermo, my own cousin corrected my pronunciation and I told him I grew up hearing Sicilian spoken, not Italian! My neighborhood in NJ was populated by immigrants from Motta and Santo Stefano de Cammastra and they all spoke Sicilian. Now they likely wouldn't be understood in their own hometowns!
Vi seguo sempre dai vostri brevi video sulla bellissima e splendida Sicilia 😅😅😅😅 Siete una 💑 coppia stupenda... Vi adoro... Auguro un 😄felice 😊 soggiorno in Sicilia, e tanto bene e prosperità nella vita.... I❤ my SICILY....
"Everthing starts with Sicily"❣ That is The Quote of the Century😉😍 Saluti y Grazie Alfredo y Eszter🌿🤍🌺 p.s. i agree with all your reasons for moving to La Bella Sicilia ❣ Hope to visit the enchanting island soon and Grazie for your inspiring stories🙏🏽🎊
I’m looking at the possibility of moving to Sicily and hoping to find someone who can show me the true feel and sense of what it is like living there, including interacting with natives, not the tourist part. Are you willing to house people (willing to pay a fee) to show me the true culture and experience of living there? Or have a recommendation of an inexpensive place to stay and show me around (and I would be happy to pay you for your time)?
My family is from the commune of Godrano. I want to visit this place where the Salario's date back centuries. I want to get dual citizenship and do some research when I visit this town. Do you know anything about Godrano?
I have been offered a rent-free tiny cottage in Sicily by relatives and am seriously considering it. I am so sick of the political nonsense/communist agenda here in America, I'm just craving tradition and civility. There's just no happiness here, everyone is miserable, whatever side you're on. If I do make the move, it won't be till 2025 which gives me lots of time to binge-watch your videos. Thank you for this series, and also, I'd love to see more interviews with your sweet friend Stephania, if she is so inclined.
