viva l'italia, viva la sicilia

Sicily - Tuesday June 2, 2026

Today the Italians celebrate Festa della Repubblica, the national holiday of Italy.

Not that it changes anything for us; every day here in Sicily feels like a holiday!

Sicily - Monday June 1, 2026

Fatti tranquilli, stili sicilianu...

Morning rituals, groceries, coffee, newspaper (La Gazzetta dello Sport) in Sciacca.

Lazing on the quiet Lido Sovareto beach in the afternoon.

Henk organized a Studio Tre dinner and we invited our fun and sweet hosts Jasmijn & Enzo, a beautiful Dutch-Sicilian couple. The pink Gazzetta newspaper we reused as placemats. We had a delicious meal, laughed a lot, and enjoyed this special evening together.
