“HOMESICK FOR SICILY”? We have a little remedy!

Sicily, what a wonderful land, where culture and tradition reign supreme – but also a land short of work, where discontent spreads among young people and eyes grow sad at the realisation that they love their land endlessly yet must leave it to hope for a working “future”…

The many young people of recent generations know the lump in their throat as they cross the “Strait”!

The many adults know the knot in their stomach as they gaze at their land from Villa San Giovanni, waiting for the ferry that will take them back “home”, because yes, even after many years away, for every Sicilian, Sicily is home…

You may have a beautiful house and a fulfilling job, but that homesickness is something only we Sicilians know… it tugs at the heart every time even a small picture of our beloved Sicily passes before our eyes…

In an instant, smells, flavours, sounds… everything explodes in our mind… our eyes fill with tears…

It's like an illness, the mind always there dreaming, beyond the horizon, beyond the Strait: it's “Mal di Sicilia”, homesickness for Sicily.

From Verga to Quasimodo, by way of Sciascia, Guttuso and Camilleri, every writer has caught it and expressed this malaise in their works, voicing the feelings of thousands of Sicilians far from their motherland: no one has ever left their land in their heart; no one can truly cut their roots.

And what if, just for a moment, you could go back “home”?!

Then close your eyes and imagine being able to savour the scents and flavours of your land, wherever you are…

This is our mission: to make that possible.

Through our national and international shipping service, we bring your Sicily to your home!
