What will I read about?
Every letter begins with something that genuinely happened here. It might be a place I visited, a conversation with a neighbour, an incident on our farm, a local tradition or an ordinary moment that revealed something about Sicilian life.
One month it might be a neighbour teaching me when the figs are ready. Another might bring a funeral procession that stopped the traffic, or a power cut that turned into an unplanned dinner by candlelight.
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.
For those who love photography and receiving postcards from faraway places.
For readers who want the stories, people, traditions and everyday life of Sicily, without the extras.
For readers who would also enjoy a Sicilian recipe, a themed sticker and a small mystery gift each month.
For people who love recipes, postcards, stickers and beautiful paper keepsakes worth collecting.
