Sicilian Odyssey

An earlier annual picnic of the Author’s “Sicilian” family.

In my youth, I grew up surrounded by a large gregarious Sicilian family, who shared so many joyous events, experiences, celebrations, and marvelous meals together. This website was created with the ambitious goal to create a larger on-line Sicilian community and provide it with the tools needed to share our collective stories and experiences, and to demonstrate pride in the unique heritage of our ancestors.

We invite all to join a new community of Sicily enthusiasts, to share your passions and memories, connect with old friends, and make some new ones.
