The air is hot and heavy enough to make very clear the horizon.
front of the calm sea and to the right and left the barren landscape of Sicily in August.
Fermi, properties under a large mulberry tree, sheltered from the shadow you sweat.
gaze seems clouded by the high humidity.
the bushes we see a yellow parched earth. And 'the south wind.
plan the wind blows from the south-eastern Sicily in this property.
The move leaves just as the atmosphere warms emptying of oxygen.
And this land remains firm providing accommodation within its stone walls along the streets and desolate trazzere and terraces of white earth.
The wind that comes from Africa prompts the maturation of citrus fruits and vines, but bend the knees of those who care.
While the sweat down your spine is channeled in the middle of the blades resulting in a slight tickle, then it seems to me that nothing has changed.
Yet as a child I thought that maybe one day under that mulberries that have a strong tannic and sweet perfume I saw my best land.
My people would have improved.
It would have been aware of the great deception that hid our horizon.
That would have been just a haze Therefore weather.
But everything looks the same as when I was ten.
fact is the same for hundreds of years.
Maybe that's why the homes of aristocratic Sicilian once was the room of the sirocco.
In the most interior of the building or specially carved into the rock, they created a room with no windows thick stone walls to shelter from the hot wind that enveloped the rest of the rich houses.
So we hid out what not to suffer pain generated.
a safe place and hidden from small labyrinth of walls and doors.
No noise, no smell and especially no hot breath he could reach.
Outside the static properties of a region plagued by the mafia, from the politics of power and large and small deals done at the expense of a people given up. Inside
can not but feel the warm weight.
survival instinct but not the art during the ancient learned too many invasions over the centuries that have led the Sicilians to adapt.
Find more how to fuck in their history, while granting legitimacy to a power that has always made them subjects.
Today there are rooms with air conditioners in the south wind blows from ice cream and fixtures to test gauge 38. ;
The architecture of the old masters replaced by electrical energy.
But outside everything remains the same.
