What will I read about?
Real Sicily. Warts and all. Where I have been, what I have seen, and life on a small island.
This is Sicily as it is lived, not Sicily as it appears in a holiday brochure.
What makes our letters truly different?
- It is lived, not researched. You are not reading a guidebook rewrite or a curated “best of Sicily.” You are reading what actually happens, first-hand.
- It is honest Sicily. Beautiful, chaotic, frustrating, generous, funny, sometimes ugly. The island as it is, not as it is marketed.
- It arrives as real post. A tangible slow-living ritual, not more screen time. An envelope you open, keep, reread.
- It is specific to Western Sicily and everyday life. Small towns, overlooked places, local rhythms, festivals, markets, and the real machinery of daily life. However, once in a blue moon we venture to the other side of the island, so never say never. People are surprised just how big this island is.
- It is a relationship, not content. A consistent voice and a continuing narrative that makes readers feel connected to a place they may never reach.
