La sedia del posteggiatore, istituzione autonoma e indipendente,

Sicily 2012 - "among hillls and beaches"

 totally relax, beautifull landscapes are frames for holidays as I suggest on this spot: I am not a good seller, but I can describe on my way what I really like, what I did already, what foreign peoples might enjoy,,,,,a mixer of various occasion depending on our sensibility to capture athmosphere, to be touched on our emotion, I find the medieval town on the Nebrodi Park: San Marco d'Alunzio as a wellness centre, also different from Palermo that I pray you to visit too, the Capital of Sicily centre of secular civilisations born and  developed around the Mediterranean Sea.

Canto della Novena by Giacomo Dorsa

first day:

Santi Spiriti divini, 

Putistati, anciuli, Santi,

Cherubini e Serafini,

cu suoni e duci canti

cuncirtati a miu vuliri

chi Gesù voli durmiri.

si pò.

Figghiu saggiu e sapuritu,

ti lamenti, forsi hai sonnu,

ntra stu pettu ti cunvitu,

l'occhi chiudiri si vonnu,

Figghiu miu, la matri spinna

di cantariti la ninna.

Gesù miu lu beddu nomu

chi lu cori allegru e nciarma

Picciriddu Diu, fatti n'omu,

veni in brazza di la mamma,

tè la minna, figghiu santu, mentri addatti ed iu cantu.

Figghiu, metti li manuzzi

ntra li ciarmii di stu pettu,

pi sò amuri cantirò,

figghiu beddu, fàla vò.

stenni ancora li piruzzi,

li me vrazza sù lu lettu,

the men corus: Evviva Maria,

                       Maria è sempri viva.

                       Evviva Maria

                       Maria cu la criò.

                       E senza Maria

                       salvari non 

bread and splin in Palermo, then another old tradition... in San Marco

I just arrived today in San Marco and! a drum was playing in the street by some young guys...one carries an antique wooden statue of Baby Jesus,,of the XVIII° C and they go home by home, each family take the Baby Jesus and let him enter to bless the rooms and all the house, they offer a donation and the pilgrimage continues for a while, tomorrow will continue along the Village and will finish on the 6 January, I am so encantados....

this is part of life..

ninna nanna del 1761 a San Marco..

this the best part (for me) of the Novena in San Marco d'Alunzio when all men start to sing an old ninna nanna  wrote by Giacomo Dorsa in 1761, they represent the shepards and the very antiques words sing the ninna nanna from the Vergin Mary to Jesus,,,,,,,it is intense, strong, very emotioning.

a dream to be there!!
