The Sicily Site is
not intended to be a Sicilian travel guide. Although we hope if you
are thinking of a Sicilian holiday or visiting Sicily for any other
reason, you find it useful. Rather The Sicily Site gives a flavour
of every day life on the island of the Sicily. The Sicily Site is
also intended to be a useful source of general information about
Sicily based on personal experience. In the grey box below you can
find more information about us. Or if you like you could read a
liitle about how
we like to spend our holidays in Sicily. Perhaps you aren't
intending to visit Sicily, but would just like to find out a bit
more about the island. Hopefully we have information here for you
too. You ould read about Sicilian football, Sicilian weather, or even
discover Sicilian
festivals ad the Sicilian people and their
language.
This Site is a
collaboration between Mother and Son, and is for people that want
to find out first hand information about Sicilian culture, the
Sicilian language, and all things Sicilian.

Cefalu, Agrigento, and Catania, and sights including the Valley of
the Temples and Mount Etna.
About the Mamma
The Webmamma was born in
England and married a Sicilian gentleman over 40 years ago. They
live in England where there is a strong Sicilian community. They
take their holiday in Sicily every year. The first time the
webmamma decide to travel to Sicily in 1966, it took two and a half
days to get to Sicily by train. The Webmamma hopes that this site
strengthens Sicilian community ties and gives Sicilians living
abroad happy memories of Sicily.
About the son
The Webmamma's son loves
visiting Sicily and goes there whenever he can. Justa lika Mamma,
he also likes creating websites. So he thought it would be a good
idea to create a site about Sicily that wasn't really a Sicilian
travel guide, but more of site about personal experiences of
Sicily.
