geben Sie drei Wochen des Lebens fuer 3000 Jahre Geschichte geliebtes Sizilien
wir revanchieren uns mit 3000 Jahren Geschichte
Mit diesem Slogan wurden wir begrüßt, als ich mit meiner Familie die Fähre in Palermo verließ. Um es vor
wegzunehmen, uns wurde nicht zuviel versprochen. Eigentlich wollten wir nur einen ganz normalen Urlaub machen. Den Werbeslogan haben wir auch erst richtig verstanden, als wir begannen die Insel zu erkunden. Etwas belesen hatten wir uns bevor wir die Reise ins unbekannte Sizilien antraten, aber das was da auf uns zukommen sollte, hatten wir in unseren kühnsten Urlaubsträumen nicht erwartet. Wir erlebten eine Zeitreise durch die Jahrtausende, in der wir durch die Theater und die majestätischen Tempel der Griechen gingen, die Luxusvillen der Römer und die herrlichen von den Normannen im Mittelalter gebauten Kirchen, Kathedralen und Schlösser bestaunten.Die vielen Völker und deren Herren die hierher kamen waren meist als Eroberer gekommen um die strategisch wichtige Position im Mittelmeer zu kontrollieren. Sie alle, Griechen, Römer, Karthager, Araber, Byzantiner, Vandalen, Staufer, Franzosen und Spanier hinterließen ihre Spuren auf der Insel.

Sizilien armes Land ?

SAN GIUSEPPE JATO, SICILY

Could this sweltering night in the rugged hills behind Palermo be the night? Will I be savouring fennel-seed sausages when the grim, heavyset men arrive? Will they pause for a second to allow the diners' curiosity to turn to numb fear before spraying the room with bullets?
There is some justification for such wild imagining. Our small inn, called the Portella della Ginestra, was once owned by the Bruscas – a family synonymous with the blood-soaked history of the Sicilian Mafia.
Bernardo Brusca was the capo of the town a few kilometres down the road from us and a convicted murderer. His son Giovanni, now 51, detonated the bomb that killed Palermo's heroic anti-Mafia prosecutor Giovanni Falcone in 1992. A year later, the junior Mafioso also kidnapped the 11-year-old son of the mobster who had told the story of Falcone's murder to the police. The boy was held and tortured for 26 months, then strangled. His body was dissolved in a barrel of acid.
And that's not the only option for tourists who want to support honest Sicilians, not the island's well-known criminals. Today, visitors can join a burgeoning movement toward ethical tourism on the island by taking part in a growing, incredibly brave anti-Mafia campaign. They can buy wine and pasta at the Libera Terra – free land – co-ops. They can spend their euros at shops that refuse to pay the pizzo, or Mafia extortion tax. Plus there are more B&Bs on former Mafia properties in the works.
In November, for instance, a large house near Corleone owned by Salvatore (The Beast) Riina will be opened to tourists. Riina was the undisputed boss of bosses and the most wanted man in Italy until his arrest in 1993. He is thought to have personally killed 40 people and ordered the deaths of 200 or so others – including the murders of Falcone and his colleague Paolo Borsellino. (Palermo's airport is named in honour of the two anti-Mafia magistrates.)
Of course, not everyone who books a room at Riina's former mansion will be there to support anti-Mafia tourism. This property is sure to attract visitors fascinated by mob history at its goriest. As do sites such as the Mafia museum in Corleone, which cater to fans of The Godfather. It is stuffed with videos and photos of Mafia hit men and their victims, and documents related to the police investigations. Still, many locals believe that anti-mob sentiment will eventually eclipse prurient mob tourism.
“There is a sort of anti-Mafia tourism coming,” Giuseppe (Pino) Maniaci says.
He certainly has reason to hope so. Maniaci is the host and owner of Telejato, a local TV station that regularly names and denounces Mafia members. In return, the thugs beat him up, slash his car tires and threaten to kill him – hence the round-the-clock police protection for his family.
GOODFELLAS' GOURMET
As for my own fears, the manager of our inn, 28-year-old Analisa Di Matteo, offers sympathy when I confess that staying in a former mob property is making me a little uneasy. Land is vital to Mafia power. Without it, they are exposed. Wouldn't the thugs, out of sheer spite, try to wreck the business or threaten the
employees?
Indeed, in the early years of Sicily's Libera Terra movement, some co-ops suffered vandalism and theft, though it's hard to say whether they were genuine Mafia revenge incidents. “At first, four years ago when I started here, I was a bit afraid of the Mafia,” Di Matteo says. “Now, no. They have never bothered us. They have bigger things to do.”
And so does the team at Portella della Ginestra. Their main concern is pleasing patrons, not worrying about horse heads in their beds. We decide to relax and enjoy the place.
To be sure, this B&B is not for everyone. It stands alone in the Jato Valley – no town, no bar or shops within walking distance. Even though it's only 20 kilometres from Palermo, Sicily's biggest city, it feels like it's in the middle of nowhere.
But it's an ideal base for hiking, and for day trips ranging from the ancient Greek temples at Agrigento to the glorious Norman cathedral in Monreale and the lovely beaches near Sciacca. None of these places is more than an hour's drive away.
And what views! The fields around the building are dotted with yellow ginestra flowers. The hills beyond them – small mountains, really – are steep, with rocky, jagged tops. The lack of rain can even give the terrain a desert effect. (Perfect for a spaghetti western.)
The B&B itself is clean and comfortable, if not luxurious. Each of the three bedrooms has gleaming terra cotta tile floors, high wood ceilings, spotless American-style bathrooms and air conditioning that actually works.
But the main attraction here is not the rooms. Or even the scenery. It's the food. Many of the vegetables and spices, from the eggplant to the oregano, come from the house garden. The pasta is made from organic wheat grown at similar co-ops. The wine – strong, deep reds and whites for $7 to $9 a bottle – carries the Cento Passi, or hundred steps, label. It takes its name from the film about the murder of a young anti-Mafia activist in 1978.
As for the meals, they're classic, hearty Sicilian fare: The Pasta alla Norma, with a sauce of fresh tomatoes, eggplant, basil and pecorino cheese, is tangy but not overpowering. The zucchini comes dressed in delicate beer batter. And the anchovies, bathed in the lightest of olive oils, are served under a pillow of porcelain-white mozzarella cheese. Sheer bliss.
This could explain why the restaurant is routinely packed even with those not spending the night. Among the regulars is Francesco Galante from Cento Passi wines. So I ask him if he considers the anti-Mafia co-ops (Sicily has five of them) a success.
He admits that the pace of transforming Mafia properties into clean businesses can be slow. But he says the co-ops are making extraordinary progress. The farms worked by the Placido Rizzotto co-op – which includes our inn – sell almost $2-million worth of wine, pasta and other organic products each year. And they deliver the message that the Mafia does not have to dominate every part of Sicilian life.
“We are showing you can make a right, honest life here, and work without fear,” he says. “This is a revolution.”
Galante wants me to know that the co-ops are only part of the story, though. He hands me a booklet called Pago Chi Non Paga (I pay those who don't pay) and suggests I go to Palermo to see the places it lists – from pizzerias to dance halls – who refuse to pay the pizzo Mafia tax.
COSA VOSTRA
The pizzo has been part of Italian life forever. It's a form of negative insurance paid by shop owners: Pay it and the Mafia leaves you alone; don't pay it and your shop might get burned down.
(Or you might get killed, as Libero Grassi was in 1991. Grassi was a Palermo shop owner who denounced the Mafia “tax” in a page-one newspaper article entitled “Dear Extortionist.” Three weeks later, he was dead.)
The University of Palermo has estimated that 80 per cent of Sicilian stores pay the pizzo – which can be $1,500 to $4,500 every three or four months – although almost no one will admit to doing so. Anti-Mafia police have estimated the mob collects $45-billion a year from bribery, making it one of Europe's biggest businesses.
But in 2004, Sicilians started a grassroots organization called Addiopizzo – goodbye pizzo – to fight the “tax.” Shop owners who join the movement refuse to pay it and get legal assistance if they press charges against pizzo collectors. Some also get police protection.
Meanwhile, consumers who support the organization, including conscientious tourists, endeavour to spend money at anti- pizzo shops (many identified by the Addiopizzo window stickers) whenever they can. So far, almost 300 store owners have signed up.
I take my anti- pizzo euros to Capricci di Sicilia, a restaurant in the heart of Palermo owned by Vicenza Eterno. The Mafia has made repeated attempts to make her pay. She has never done so. “I have no fear,” she says.
As I eat a delicious, firm fish called spigola, she explains that it would be a dishonour to her family to pay the pizzo. Her father was one of the policemen who arrested the
Sicilian crime boss, hit man and (go figure) landscape painter Luciano Leggio in the early 1970s.
So far, neither she nor her shop has been roughed up for resisting the Mafia. Though Eterno says some shop owners have had worse luck and “sometimes those who don't pay have their cars burned.” For this reason, some shop owners don't list their names on the Addiopizzo website.
“Some people don't want to be heroes,” she says. “They have a fear of advertising.”
I leave Sicily a couple of days later. After visits to several fine beaches and a tour of the elegantly crumpled Greek city at Selinunte, I figure I should be able to put any lingering fear, or even thought, of the Mafia out of my mind. It doesn't quite work.
This strange, beautiful, sad island has been ransacked by generations of crime families and they won't fold in the face of Addiopizzo or co-ops on their seized land. But as I fly from Palermo's Falcone-Borsellino Airport, I at least have the satisfaction of knowing that I've done my tiny bit to help the courageous few who have had enough.

Acireale in Sizilien
Der Tourismus hat in Acireale eine lange Tradition: Schon Richard Wagner schrieb hier an seinem Parsival. Trotzdem ist die Stadt nicht ausschließlich touristisch geprägt, hat als Hauptort der Zyclopenküste durchaus Charakter. Die Altstadt zwischen der barocken Piazza Duomo und der Piazza Indirizzo ist einladend und lebendig, die unterhalb liegende Küste mit ihren Zitronenplantagen und Felsklippen durchaus malerisch. Acireale ist der größte der Orte zwischen Catania und dem Ätna, die alle mit «Aci» beginnen: Aci Trezza, Aci Castello, Aci Catena. Nach Ovid war Akis ein Hirte, der die vom Zyklopen Polyphem begehrte Nymphe Galatea liebte, daher von diesem aus Eifersucht getötet und von Poseidon in einen Fluß verwandelt wurde. An dessen Ufer stand einst die große Stadt Aci, die 1169 durch Erdbeben und Lavaströme zerstört wurde. Die vorgelagerten Isole (oder Scogli) dei Ciclopi soll Polyphem als Felsen dem fliehenden Odysseus nachgeworfen haben. Der Karneval wird hier besonders bunt gefeiert; Aci Trezza ist Schauplatz von Giovanni Vergas Roman «Die Malavoglia».

Vespa World Days 2008
Molti di loro sono già in Sicilia, e da lì, insieme ad altre centinaia di appassionati partiranno per il più grande raduno mondiale che la storia abbia conosciuto. Chi mastica di motori sa bene che solo pochi marchi sono in grado di convogliare in un colpo solo 1.300 persone provenienti da tre continenti e 15 nazioni, e uno di questi è la Vespa Piaggio, vera e propria icona del concetto stesso di scooter.Ebbene: da giovedì 24 a domenica 27 aprile si consumerà dunque il "Vespa World Days 2008", con base logistica a Cefalù e con escursioni sulle Madonie ed a Palermo, dove il 26 avrà luogo la grande "sfilata". A Cefalù e nel circondario si registra il "tutto esaurito" nelle strutture ricettive, e le cittadine madonite interessate al raduno si sono preparate al meglio per accogliere non solo i radunisti, ma anche i semplici appassionati ed i turisti che avranno modo di ammirare Vespa di ogni epoca, e di curiosare all'interno del "Vespa Village" allestito sul Lungomare di Cefalù, dove ogni sera a partire dalle ore 21 sono in programma dei concerti di musica dal vivo.
Giovedì 24 la prima giornata del raduno - organizzato dal tour operator "Stratos DMC" di Palermo sotto l'egida del Vespa World Club e della Fondazione Piaggio - si aprirà con le formalità di registrazione dei partecipanti (che arriveranno anche nei giorni seguenti), presso la Base Logistica dell'Esercito Italiano a Cefalù, e proseguirà con le escursioni facoltative alla scoperta di Cefalù e della sua Rocca.
Nel pomeriggio, alle ore 15, dal lungomare partirà il primo tour in Vespa, con destinazione Castelbuono, dove la locale amministrazione comunale offrirà delle degustazioni di prodotti tipici e farà visitare gli interessanti monumenti ai partecipanti. A partire dalle ore 18 a Cefalù è in programma la cerimonia d'apertura della manifestazione, con la sfilata per le vie del centro di una Vespa in rappresentanza di ogni nazione con le bandiere nazionali; il corteo sarà preceduto da una banda musicale, che si dirigerà al Vespa Village, per il taglio ufficiale del nastro tricolore ad opera del sindaco Giuseppe Guercio.
Alle ore 19 l'Associazione dei Borghi Marinari di Sicilia curerà una "lezione" delle tradizioni e della storia dei borghi marinari, tenuta dallo scrittore Gaetano Basile, mentre alle 20 esibizione di danza jazz ed orientale a cura dell'Athletic center, ed alle 21 concerto di musica dal vivo col gruppo palermitano dei "Sol Out".
A Palermo inoltre (in Piazza Politeama) da giovedì 24 a domenica 27 verranno anche esposti alcuni esemplari storici di Vespa, provenienti dal Museo Storico Piaggio di Pontedera. Il patrocinio alla manifestazione - alla cui organizzazione collaborano i Vespa Clubs Siciliani - è assicurato dalle amministrazioni comunali di Cefalù, Castelbuono, Collesano, Gratteri, Lascari e Polizzi Generosa.
Tutte le informazioni possono essere acquisite su www. vespaworlddays. com.
Il programma di venerdì 26 prevede il tour in Vespa sulle Madonie (con inizio alle ore 11), attraverso Lascari, Gratteri, Collesano e Campofelice di Roccella. Alle ore 21 al Vespa Village si esibirà la band musicale "Gli Swingers", con repertorio musicale anni '50.

Tempel in Sizilien, Selinunte
Die Vergangenheit als aufschlussreiches Mosaiksteinchen im Bild der Gegenwart: Für Sizilien gilt das ganz besonders. Eine über fast drei Jahrhunderte hinweg nie abreißende Kette von Eroberern und Fremdherrschern hinterließ nicht nur die zahllosen Monumente, die die Insel zum Dorado für kunstgeschichtlich Interessierte machen. Sie formte auch die Mentalität der heutigen Bewohner. Griechen, Karthager und Römer zankten sich jahrhunderte lang um den fruchtbaren Boden, Goten und Vandalen plünderten und mordeten. Es regierten Araber, Normannen und Staufer, moderat und weise. Franzosen und Spanier pressten der Insel dann wieder das letzte ab. Nie aber hatten die Sizilianer selbst etwas zu sagen. Mit Anschluss 1860 an Italien änderte sich nur wenig. Kaum ein Sizilianer fühlt sich als Italiener.

Chocolate in Modica, Sicily
Chocolate in Modica, SicilyModica is a pretty Baroque town in southeastern Sicily. It's a UNESCO World Heritage site along with the nearby Baroque towns of Ragusa, Noto, Scicli. Modica is just 20 km from Ragusa, shown on Europe Travel's >>>>
Modica is also famous for its chocolate. Walking along Corso Umberto I, the main street, we came upon several chocolate shops. After a hot chocolate in a bar, we stopped in a couple shops to sample and buy the famous chocolate which comes in a variety of forms and flavors. My favorite was the soft chocolate cookie with pepperoncini, red peppers, bursting with chocolate flavor and spiciness, found at 'ntantatùri.Did you know that chocolate for eating as we know it today (bars and pieces) originated in Italy? Eating chocolate was first made in Turin, in the Piedmont region of northern Italy. Find out more in Chocolate and Coffee in Turin.

Wie schön waren die ersten warmen Sonnenstrahlen in diesem Jahr! Überall in Deutschland atmeten die Menschen auf und freuten sich über die Sonne. Und einige Frauen ließen ganz tief blicken. Bei ihnen blitzten sexy-hexy Strings frech aus der Jeans – der Sonne entgegen.
Sonne in Sizilien, bei uns hat der Fruehling schon laenger begonnen.

Sizilien, Sicily, Sicilia Noto die Barockstadt
Noto gilt als die sizilianische Barockstadt. Noto eine Stadt der Provinz Syrakus in der Region Sizilien in Italien. Noto ist eine der spätbarocken Städte des Val di Noto, die von der Unesco zum UNESCO-Welterbe erklärt worden sind.
Nachdem Noto von einem Erdbeben nahezu zerstört wurde, entstand hier eine der schönsten Barockstädte der Insel. Wenn man die Hauptstrasse, Corso Vittorio Emanuele, entlang spaziert, dann kommt man automatisch in das Zentrum der Stadt. Besonders Sehenswert sind das Rathaus und der Dom, welche sich beide auf der „Piazza del Municipio befinden. Leider sind viele der Gebäude in keinem guten Zustand und es finden seit geraumer Zeit Restaurationsarbeiten statt um die wertvollen Schätze der Vergangenheit zu bewahren. Einen Besuch ist Noto aber allemal wert.

Monte Pellegrino Palermo Sizilien
Oggi 28 marzo 2008, 4 minuti fa UllaeGino Sizilien Ferienwohnungen Terrasini Casa Vacanze Sicily Accommodation
Monte Pellegrino Palermo Sizilien Auf dem Weg zum höchsten Spitz vom Monte Pellegrino, mit dem Auto, dem Bus oder auch zu Fuß – es besteht ein Wanderweg-, kommt man am Santuario di Santa Rosalia, der Schutzpatronin von Palermo vorbei, einem beliebten Wallfahrtsort, mit dementsprechenden Rummel und Souvenierskitch. Hinter der Kapelle liegt die 25 m tiefe Höhle, in der die Gebeine Rosalias entdeckt wurden. Die heute verehrte dort liegende Heiligenfigur stammt aus dem 18.Jh. Für viele Pilger gilt das an den Wänden herabfließende Wasser als wundertätig. Die Pienienwäler der Umgebung sind ein beliebtes Ziel für sonntägliche Picknicks, zu denen Großfamilien in Massen anreisen, unter der Woche geht es hier aber bedeutend ruhiger zu.Santa Rosalia, eine Nichte Wilhelm II. hatte um 1160 allen weltlichen Versuchungen den Rücken gekehrt und in frommer Einsamkeit auf dem Monte Pellegrino gelebt. In der abgelegenen Höhle verstorben und auch bald vergessen, gewann Sie erst an Bedeutung als am 15.Juli 1624 ihre sterbliche Überreste entdeckt wurden und durch die Straßen von Palermo getragen, die zu der Zeit herrschende fürchterliche Pestepidemie schlagartig verschwand. Schon bald und bis heute wird am 15.Juli das Fistinu di Santa Rosalia der Stadtheiligen gefeiert.Es ist auf jeden Fall auch die wunderschöne Aussicht, die viele Autofahrer lockt, einen kleinen Ausflug auf den Monte Pellegrino zu machen. Wir haben in verschiedenen Monaten, wenn das Wetter eine klare Sicht erlaubte den einzigartigen Blick genossen, den man schon beim herauffahren auf den Berg hat. Oben angekommen muss man noch ein paar Meter zu Fuß weiter um dann die ganze Stadt Palermo zu seinen Füßen ausgebreitet zu sehen, Manchmal sind die Farben und das Licht einfach unnatürlich. Gefallen hat es jedenfalls allen die hier oben waren. . .
