The Madonie
Susafa
Breakfast is laid in the old grain store. Giuseppe decides the menu the night before, out loud, to whoever is still at the table.

Sicily, kept between you.
A glimpse, never a catalogue
Rare Sicily.
A few exceptional names Silvia knows well. The most private introductions are shared in conversation.
Mount Etna
Tenuta di Fessina

Milo
Barone di Villagrande
Ten generations on the same terrace. Marco's grandmother still cooks the Thursday lunch — there are six seats.
