Can you tell us your most beautiful town in Sicily?
I particularly love Sciacca, which is the Verdura’s closest town. The city’s architectural heritage boasts medieval monuments, from the sixteenth-century baroque such as the church of San Nicolò, palaces such as the Perollo, Steripinto and the complex of Santa Margherita. Sciacca is also known for the fishing, ceramics and art for the manufacture of coral. The pottery is one of the most beautiful and lively expressions of artistic Sicilian coral and is renowned for its exquisite shades of colour. Sciacca cultivates a tradition that survives to modernity, Carnival, which each year is a parade of floats involving the whole city in a festive atmosphere of choral participation.
What is your favourite Sicilian dish?
You cannot leave Sicily without trying Arancini! Arancini s a very well-known traditional Sicilian dish. It is a rice ball shape filled with cheese, tomato, peas, sausage, mushrooms or any other vegetable or spices you prefer.
