The local name for this squash dish literally translates to “liver of the seven cannoli,” but you won’t find any offal mixing with ricotta-filled pastry shell here (promise). So why the name? Read the backstory from the periphery of Palermo.

Good morning

I am looking for someone to help me with tracing my Sicilian ancestors (Messina, circa 1815!) and I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with professional genealogists in the area and could possibly recommend anyone please?

Many thanks

We have bought a house in Sicily and i have been told we need to replace our roof tiles because of a law coming in.  i have searched the internet and cant find a law, so wondered if anyone could help me.  Could it be that we have asbestos roof tiles?
