Welcome to another exciting episode of "Dishing with Stephanies Dish." In this episode, I am joined by my fellow travel enthusiast, Michael Kenney from Defined Destinations, as we dive into the world of adventurous group travel. Fresh from their trips to Croatia and Asia, they're setting their sights on a new journey to Sicily, Italy. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or a wanderlust-driven explorer, you'll discover the unique experiences that Sicily promises, from breathtaking historic cities to mesmerizing volcanoes and, of course, delectable Italian cuisine. Join Stephanie and the Michaels for a delightful conversation about the joys of traveling with a group, the thrill of meeting new people, and the authentic charm that awaits in Sicily. Whether you're considering joining their next adventure or simply living vicariously through their tales, this episode offers a captivating glimpse into the magic of defined destinations. Let the journey begin!Stephanie Hansen:Hello, everybody. Welcome to the podcast, Dishing with Stephanie's Dish. I hope you're doing great today. I am here with my friend, Michael Kenney, and Michael and I have been traveling together a couple years now. Right, Michael?Michael Kenney:Yeah. We've had, two trips under our belt. So it's, a trip to Croatia and, just recently that Cambodia Vietnam trip. So we've been we've been putting some miles down, Stephanie.Stephanie Hansen:I actually actually was somewhere last night and ran into someone from our trip, and we were comparing our bracelets from when we met the Buddhist monk because both of us still have ours on. Yes.Michael Kenney:Mine, like, just kinda fell apart.Stephanie Hansen:It was such a Oh,Michael Kenney:I woke up in the sun.Stephanie Hansen:Trip. Yes. I'm I'm gonna keep it on as long as I can. It was such a life changing trip. Asia was somewhere that I'd always wanted to go and really didn't have the confidence to do it by myself. So you gave me confidence. Going with other people gave me confidence, and we ended up having such a great time. Pretty good.Stephanie Hansen:I have had another great trip with you. We went to Croatia, and that was an awesome trip. We were on kind of like an exclusive private yacht with, Stan, our tour guide, who was probably one of the best tour guides ever.Michael Kenney:For sure.Stephanie Hansen:And you're going back there to Croatia this summer, aren't you?Michael Kenney:Yeah. Personally, I'm not. I'm gonna have somebody else. I'm a little envious because, yeah, that that trip was straight out of a dream. And, you and your, listeners, followers, they were so much fun.Stephanie Hansen:So Yeah. We did have a good time.Michael Kenney:Yeah. It was great.Stephanie Hansen:So I wanted to podcast with you because people ask me all the time about these trips and, like, how it works and what we do and, you know, like, are you, like, checking people's passports? I'm like, no. Silly. I'm not. But we have a trip coming up to Sicily, a taste of Sicily, which you have so sweetly on your your background there. That's smart. October 14 through the twenty second. And our final payments, I think, are due in June. So we're kind of in the hunt for getting everybody signed up and confirmed.And I wanted to talk with you. I've been to Italy a lot, actually, but I've never been to Sicily. So I'm excited about what that area is gonna be like and you've been. So I thought, alright. Let's just talk a little bit about this and get to know a little bit about how these trips work. So, I like to do trips with people because I like to travel with others. And people always ask me, well, are they food trips? Yes. They are food.Like, we eat food. We enjoy food. We talk about food, but it isn't, like, exclusively a food trip. We know that when you're going to some of these historic destinations that you also wanna see some of the beautiful sites. So we try to mix in some food things like special tastings, special wine events, or special dinners, but we also wanna give you some time to explore the region on your own so that you can go to the restaurants that really appeal to you. And, you know, when you're going with the group, sometimes it's not easy to go to some of these really exclusive special places because you have a larger group. Our group on a trip like this would be, what, would you say, like, less than, like, 26 probably?Michael Kenney:Yeah. It this group size will be anywhere from 20 to 30 maximum on this trip. So it's a real nice, you know, size group for sure.Stephanie Hansen:And you've been to Sicily before. When was the last time you went?Michael Kenney:I was with a group two years ago in Sicily. So I've been there three other times. So just most recently, just two years ago.Stephanie Hansen:And you and I like, I kinda gave you my short list of places. And you asked me about Sicily, and I was like, oh, well, I don't know. I've never really thought about that. And you were like, oh my gosh. It's one of your favorite places in Italy. So tell me what it is that you love about Sicily in particular.Michael Kenney:Yeah. No. That that that's a great question. You already mentioned you've been to Italy several times, and we get a lot of people that have been to Italy. And they're like, alright. I've already done that. Or maybe you haven't, you know, seen the the Colosseum and Venice and things like that. Sicily is is Italian, but it's an island in the middle of the Mediterranean.Michael Kenney:So it's just it's it's it's similar, but it's different. I think everything is elevated. Their food, their sites. I mean, the history has a whole Greek, northern the Arabs. It's a Spanish influence in Normans. They've all kinda come to this island in the middle of the the Mediterranean and put, like, their best foods, their their best everything. And it's kinda mixes and makes a Sicilian dish, which is really cool. So it's it's similar, yes, with their pastas and things like that in Mainland Europe, but it's it's a different notch.Michael Kenney:I think it's above, regular standard Italian food. It's just the flavors, the the spices, everything like that is just it's so good. And that's just the food side of it. And then, of course, I already mentioned with with the Greeks in the Spanish and the Normans, they have their own architectures that they brought, a mix of different languages. So you really feel like you're in a whole another country. It says in Italy, but the Sicilians say we're Sicilian first, then we're Italian.Stephanie Hansen:That's funny.Michael Kenney:So it's it's really so different, of an experience on that end. And I even have, a couple of friends going on this trip, and they've never been to Europe before. And they're saying, hey. We're we're gonna join you on this trip because it sounds lovely, but we've never been to Europe. We've never seen the Colosseum, things like that. Like, is this a good trip for us to take? I go, for sure it is. I mean, you don't have these, you know, the Leaning Tower Of Pisa, but once you get get to these places, you'll say, oh my gosh. I mean, a church that's, a thousand years old, or the little villages that are, you know, 500 years old and just oozing with this with charm.So you're really, having this real great Italian Sicilian experience, but maybe not knowing the sites, but it'll kinda resonate even better when you come back and tell your stories. It's just a beautiful, beautiful trip.Stephanie Hansen:And I think, you know, I've been to Rome. I've been to a lot of the little Italian islands on sailing trips with my husband. And we've been to Naples. We've been to Venice. We've been all over, really. And each of Italy has its own uniqueness, but the islands themselves are just something different because you really did get a lot of influences of people coming through and the trading that happened. And they also weren't as involved in the wars because they were sort of moving to the mainland. So you get a lot of different preservation possibilities, and the culture just held up because they weren't impacted by the wars in the same way.Michael Kenney:Exactly. And I think even early on, Sicilians were were very poor as well. So a lot of things just really, held. So they didn't, you know, knock down buildings and build new skyscrapers, things like that. It's like you're being, on the set of The Godfather, which was filmed there too, part of it at least. And, it was, like, set in time, and you're going there and just really experiencing the the feel, the taste, the smell, even you could call, like, the grit of, like, Palermo. I mean, it has this edge to it in a sense, like, this is a real living city. It sound like all spruced up to be perfect, like, on a set, but that's what makes it so so fantastic.It it's it's real. And I don't think you always get that experience that you're in in Central Rome, and they they, you know, it's all beautiful up. Again Palermo and all these cities that will visit are extremely beautiful but it has it's just a different edge to it and every group that I've ever been there with Stephanie if they've come back and said wow this is a dream. Not just the food, the sites, the experiences, the people. The people are real. They're they're fabulous. So it's it's a real real, just an amazing immersion, if you will, to Sicily.Stephanie Hansen:One of the things that people ask me about too, and I'll be honest with you. I'm not really, like, someone that you would think of as a group traveler. I like a certain amount of, alone time. I don't love to have every single thing coordinated for me. My husband, as you know, is a big adventurer and explorer. He's always the first one to do anything crazy on these trips. But it having a group is it's so nice when it's a smaller group like this because you do get to meet new people. You do get to create a community amongst your travelers.And I'll tell you, my friend Laurie Bargini that went on our Asia trip with us, she was very she's a big traveler too, and she was like, I don't know about this group thing. I was like, just give it a try. Like, Asia's a good one to test it out because it's probably a destination you wouldn't go alone. And she signed up right away for Sicily. She was like, I loved the group elements because when I wanted to, I had a group of friends and it was fun and we could hang out together and do fun things, but also when I wanted to be alone, I could do that too. It she thought it added a whole another layer to the travel experience than you just get either with you and your spouse or you and your friends because you have this whole other dynamic of people that for the most part is pretty great.Michael Kenney:Yeah. I know. And I and that's great. And Laurie was great. I'm glad she signed up because on the flight back from Asia, she sat next to me on the flight, and that's a seventeen hour flight. And if she wants to go back, then that that that's great.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. It's good. Well, you know she talked to you the whole time probably.Michael Kenney:No. I tried to again, maybe it's like the group element. You know, have time on, time off. So I'm glad that was brought up. And I've been doing group tours for twenty eight years now, which I I I can't believe. And I I first started getting into tourism because I wanted to see sites. I'm like, I know I can't pay for it, so I need to be a tour guide and and going from that. I didn't realize the whole experience and having shared experiences with others was gonna be my highlight.And to this day, that's my favorite part is going to meet people that I've never met before and going having these shared experiences with. And and sometimes, you know, you build friends for a lifetime off of that.Michael Kinney:I think especially our last group too, we we really, built that with several of the the travelers, which is great. So and I so if you're hesitant, like, well, I'd like to this trip sounds great or any of our trips, but I am kind of worried about that. We really try to balance all our tours out. It's it's it's imperative that we have that balance of, some of the group time to have these, shared experiences to leisure time so that you can go and have your own adventures. And that is so crucial to all of our trips. That's why our hotels, and we can talk about that later, are centrally located. So once we go out and do, say, our city tour, our our our food tour in Palermo and walking around, you'll have, like, the remainder of the day to go explore on your own or some of those new friends that you met. Maybe you can go out and have a glass of wine with them.But again, it's all about that balance. And we each and every itinerary that we put together, we really work on making sure we have that balance in in the trips itself. Because I think that is the success of it. So we don't pack the days all day long on, like, seeing this, this, and this. We give you the nice highlights, and we'll have some other fun inclusions. But again, each place that we go to centrally located hotels, we have that free time too. So you can do your own thing or jump on with a group that you've met and have cocktails, Aperol spritzes in the main, Piazza later on. So it it's so fun, but it it really comes back.You register for a trip, but you don't know you're gonna meet some great people. And at at the end of the trip, it's typically these, these people and these, shared experiences come back, and that's where the meaning of the the trip comes in. It's so it's it's so much fun to see them build together.Stephanie Hansen:On each of the trips that I've done with you, we've had solo travelersMichael Kenney:Mhmm.Stephanie Hansen:Which I think people are like, oh, you know, I don't know. I don't have a partner to go with or my friend can't go. And that to me has also been super fun, like the solo travelers and the friends that they've made. And, like, one of the gals I saw from our Asia trip, I saw our friend Annie last night, and she was a solo traveler. Ended up pairing up with Laurie in a room and sharing, actually, actually, which a lot of solo travelers don't wanna share. I get that. But in this case, they both did, and they are like fast friends.Michael Kenney:That I mean, that's that's so much fun to see that. First off, if, you know, we all have it like your maybe your husband or wife or friend they don't want to go but you're like interested in this trip. We get that on all of our trips and we specifically specifically have, several single rooms set aside for those, adventure traveler seekers to have that. So you can pick your own room and go as a single or maybe you want us to to pair you up. We can do that too and get you in contact with another solo traveler like lorian annie did and that typically works out really well too but it's it's I think the like minded people looking for adventures you'll never feel like you're by yourself on any of our trips So, like, oh, I'm a third wheel. Never ever ever. And sometimes that's the best way to travel because you don't have to make sure your traveling partner is having a great time. You only can worry about yourself.Hey. I'm gonna have a great time. And, you know, all of our trip travelers that I've I've ever heard from, they've had a great time going solo, and they meet these like minded people. And, again, all of a sudden, they have friends for a lifetime, like, you know, Lori and Annie did. So if you're you're even thinking about it, like, I'm solo and I'm a little skeptical about going by myself, give us a call. Send us an email. We we can get you your own, room, single, room. They are filling up quick, though.We have a few left, or we can pair you up with somebody too to share that single supplement. But, again, you'll never feel like a third wheel with any of our tours. And this, in addition, just works really, really well for single travelers, and you'll meet some probably good friends on it.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. And, also, like, ladies, some of you I know, like, getting coming out of relationships or divorce, you wanna do something unique. I have someone in my family who are shall remain nameless, who's gonna be joining us, who wanted to get back to Europe, but she's just not in a relationship status that would work for that as the way she thought it was gonna be. So I was like, come with us. Like, we're gonna have a ball. There's men. There's women. You know, my husband has come on some trips, but others, he hasn't.And Mhmm. It's just there's a great mix of people.Michael Kenney:Yeah. No. It it it it's great. Now this isn't a singles trip, but maybe you can find Giuseppe at the local cafe. You never know. So you never know. So anyway, yeah, it it works great for whatever status you are in life, single, you know, whatever. It these really, really work really nice.And sometimes, like, my brother came, and we shared a room on our the last trip, and he just wanted to kind of have a experience and get away from, you know, what's going on in life over here and just do a reset. And he came back and said, I'm really recharged. And he's kinda like going into he's retired, and he wants to do something else in his, you know, second part of his life. And he he's going after something right now because he he was able to kinda just disconnect Yeah. And then just take it all in and then kinda come back and, like, let's go. So regardless from relationships to job hunting or whatever, sometimes these trips are great. Even if you go solo, that could even be better.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. Just to get a reset.Can you give us, like, without, like, going into all the detail, like, a high level, not day by day, but just, like, what are the towns we're gonna visit? What are because we're gonna be in, I think, three different areas.Michael Kenney:Yeah. Correct. So if you if you go on our, at definedestinations.com and look at, taste of Sicily Twenty Twenty Five, you can find the day by day, itinerary on that, and you'll get to be able to see through it. But again, it reads like a brochure, and you go through each item. And everything that we mentioned on that, it's, it is included. But the neat thing is we go from the North to the South and then all the way over to the, the East side of the island. So you're really having a great feel for the entire island itself. And, we have three nights in Palermo, and then we have one night in Agrigento, which is at the very southern on the beach, our hotel's right on the beach.You can walk right down there. And even October mid October is a great time to go too because the temperatures are, like, mid seventies, so it's super comfortable. And the water temperature is still pretty nice if you want to jump in. And then we have three nights in Siracoosa. So we we have these, like, kind of, hub and spoke places that we we do our adventures from the but we always come back to our centrally located place. So, anyway, we'll we'll find the Palermo. We have a connection. If you do our included flights, there's no, direct flights from from Minneapolis into Sicily.So we have a connection, on that.Stephanie Hansen:And let me just touch on that because some people want to work with the travel agent to have all of the flight things arranged for them, and that is an option with you. But you also do have options where people can meet you at the destination. So, like, for me, we have a lot of miles that we're always trying to burn up. Yeah. So for us, we book our own airfare so that we can use our miles, and then we sometimes add a few days on at the end, or we might even go to a different destination. With your group travel plans, both of those options are available to people.Michael Kenney:A %. I'm glad you asked that too because, yes, there's people that have miles or if they only wanna stay exclusively with Delta or United or whatever, that's fine. Our trips truly begin and end at at the hotels. With that, we do offer an included group package you can jump on, but the whole group will not be on that flight for sure. It's just an option to do that. And my my team can also, get you, flights separate from that too if you wanted to come early like you said, Stephanie, or stay light. Hey. I wanna go see the Colosseum on this trip.Great. My team can put a pre tour, post tour package together if you want to do that. Or even if you don't want any of our help, that's fine. You can just book our land only. You'll be able to see our group flight numbers on there too so you can kinda coordinate that. But the great thing is that both, airports, in Palermo we fly into, and then we fly out of Catania. They're close to both, towns, so you can easily take an Uber. So it's really pretty easy to get to and from, and that's where the, the the the tour start from.So if you're hesitant, hey. I need to book the group air. Don't worry about that. You don't have to do that by any means. We're happy to help you, on all the other aspects too to to get the airfare, with that. So, yep, we fly into Palermo. We'll settle into our our our three, our centrally located hotel, which is fabulous. Again, remind me that we need to touch on the the hotels too a little bit.Stephanie Hansen:Yep.Michael Kenney:But it's right in the center. We'll do a food tour of one of the local markets. Again, like you mentioned, maybe we have some guests on the trip that could care less about food or wine tastings. It's just a a piece of of our trip. So even if you're, a modest food lover or you only like cornflakes, there's gonna be some fun things to do on this as well. And we find that, you learn a lot about the culture through the food. Yeah. That's the reason we we do part of that too.So it'll be fun regardless. You're going through the markets. You're learning about the foods. Things like that. We go to, the the Cathedral Of Monreali, which, hey. We're seeing another church. We typically don't always do that, but this is really specific. This church is beautiful.It's got, it's it's a massive church built in the twelfth century, and they're famous for all its mosaics. The whole interior, the churches, all these fine mosaics they did almost a thousand years ago. It's unreal. So it's beautiful that we'll be doing that. We'll go to Cefalu, a little, seaside village, which is outside of Palermo a little ways. Maybe you've seen White Lotus. Part of that was filmed there or all parts of the, that, season two was filmed in Sicily. So we'll have a lot of White Lotus moments, as well on that, which which will be a lot of fun.And then from there, we'll be driving after our three nights in, in Palermo. We'll be heading south, crossing the entire, island itself. Absolutely beautiful. Even our coach rides, which aren't a lot, that they're just stunning. And and enjoying the countryside is absolutely beautiful. And we'll be going to that's where Agrigento is, and it feels like you're being stuck in Greece. Like, wow. There's all these Greek ruins, you know, two, three thousand years old.It's like, this is unbelievable. They have some of the better Greek ruins even outside of Athens, which is amazing. So walking through Agrigento, experiencing that, seeing that during the sunset, it's it's it's magical. I use that word a lot, but I think the whole trip really is. And then we we we settle into our hotel right on the beach, which is lovely. And then from there, we'll be going over to Siracusa, which is one of my favorite places ever. My first time I went to Sicily, we didn't go there. And I went back and I said, how do we skip that the first time? Siracoosa is, it's unbelievable.And you've agreed too. We we're staying right in they called it Ortega. That's like the old city of Siracusa. And we're staying right inside the city wall. So our bus will drop our private bus for our group will drop us off, and then we have to walk about ten minutes to our hotel, which is on a small little alleyway. And we'll talk about that later on. But it's a great location that we'll be doing, having different experiences, seeing all the the ruins, walking around at night. It's just beautiful.And from there, we'll be out we'll also be going to see Mount Etna, which is still an active volcano. We'll be on the sides of it. It's unbelievable. All of a sudden, you feel like you're being transported onto the moon. You see the vents and things like that. It's beautiful. And they grow some amazing wines there too on the slopes of it, and we'll be tasting some of those.Stephanie Hansen:That's so cool.Michael Kenney:Yeah. It's it's it's it really is pretty cool, because of that that rich soil just offers great Sicilian wines and the dry and the the elevation. So it it culminates to be really, really good. So, work on your Sicilian, reds. They're they're quite good.Stephanie Hansen:It will be exciting. Yeah.Michael Kenney:No. It it it's great. So I mean, it's it's seven, nights, a nine day trip, in Sicily. You'll have a real good flavor of the city, of all the areas that we visit. So it's it's quite nice. And if you go on the, the website, you'll see all the the inclusions as well. So we include mostly everything that we've talked about. There's really, we don't include all the meals because we want some experiences, for yourself too to go out and go, hey.Michael Kenney:We're gonna go to this little restaurant or whatever. Mhmm. And we have a local guide with us the entire time that will really help, talk about the history, and, you know, what's going on with the people itself, but then just pointing out great restaurants and other little experiences you can doStephanie Hansen:during the free And that's I love that because when we go to some of these places, like, I think I told you my husband is, he's kind of an you know, he's in venture. He always wants to do his own thing. So if we land in a place, he's like, okay. We're gonna take off. We're gonna go do this. We're gonna do that. And, you know, we try to balance, like, doing the group things with also him having his best life and doing some unique, food experiences just on our own. So every everybody gets a little bit of everything.It's a real delightful mix. You've been to Sicily. Now I think this will be, you said, your third time, fourth time?Michael Kenney:Fourth time.Stephanie Hansen:I'm so impressed that you're coming.Michael Kenney:Yeah. I'd well, I can't miss with your groups too. I can't go on all our trips, but this is definitely one I I, notched away because I think, part of me still is in Sicily. There's there's just something about it, and you can't you know, I've been to other parts of Italy plenty of times, and I feel like I'm an Italian, but, there's just something with Sicily. Maybe I meant I meant the grit. I've talked about that. It feels like a real city, real sites, real food, just from the the different markets, the fish markets is just everything seems really authentic.Stephanie Hansen:I love it.Michael Kenney:That's what I really, really love, and I think the guests do too. I'm I'm just envisioning myself walking and through Palermo with my last group, and there was, like, there was music being played in the streets, and people are sitting down and having glasses of wine. There was no festival going on. It was just this this zest for life thatStephanie Hansen:Yeah. The Italians just in general, they stay up late. They eat late. So they have, like, a happy hour kind of at, like, six to seven, and then they go home and get ready to go out for the dinner time in a lot of cases. So they spend a lot of time outdoors, and they like to do it when it's not in the blazing hot sun. So things really there's a great nightlife. People are, out and about into all hours of the evening, which is fun. So I'm just super excited.So if people wanna join us, you said I mean, I know we've got some rooms booked already. Yeah. So are there some rooms left if people wanna book, and what is the timeline that they should be doing that, and how do they do it?Michael Kenney:Yeah. That's a great question. So I said we have about we can handle maximum of 30 people. So we have about seven rooms up, so about 14 people. So if someone calls and say, well, will this be booked up by next week? It probably won't be, but I always tell people, go ahead, put your deposit down, hold the seat on the trip itself. And you just have to go to definedestinations.com. You can book everything right then then and there. It's super simple process.You just put your your information in. You don't need a valid passport right now to to enter that in. But you just go ahead and you fill that out, put your deposit down, at least then you'll you'll have a, a seat held for you. Then you can work on if you wanna get your own air fryer or if you wanna stay earlier, you know, stay after later on the trip itself. You you can do that all right there as well. So it's pretty simple.Stephanie Hansen:And then once you're booked and we know who's coming, we usually try to have a call to kinda give everybody the particulars of that trip. Sometimes depending on our time frame, we try to get together in person. I wasn't able for the last one because I had so many things coming, and I'm not sure what'll happen with this one because I've got the cookbook coming out, in September. But one way or another, we will see each other's faces, and we will get on that plane, and we will arrive together and have a blast. So I'm looking forward to it, and we've got other trips planned. I know we're trying to book another Croatia trip possibly for the following year for the fall and something in the spring. So if you guys have any destinations you wanna check out with me, let me know. I'm always looking for new places to go. You just went to the Galapagos. It sounded like it was amazing.Michael Kenney:Yeah. It that that was, fabulous. I was just doing a site inspection because we're looking about having groups go to the Galapagos and the Amazon, and it it was it was unreal. I loved it. Completely different experience from going to, to going to Sicily. Well, that's great. There's so many experiences to have on our on the world, and we only have so much time to be able to do those. So you gotta kinda hit that hierarchy of, you know, what's what's important.For anybody that's just thinking about it or if this is the first time you've ever even heard of Sicily, please take a look at this because it is really a magical trip, and we have so many fun inclusions. Our hotel locations are in the city center. I wanted to mention that, not, just because we're on tiny little streets. So you mentioned, like, the the nightlife. It's we're not on a bustling street where all the cars are going by. It's like you feel like you're a local. You'll go out the door, and there's mama Rosita across the street, you know, cutting herStephanie Hansen:Yeah. Sitting outside. Yes.Michael Kenney:That's the experience we want, not just on this trip, all of our trips. We want you to feel like you're kind of a, a local for even three nights when we're there, so you'll know where the the nearest bakery is and, the restaurants. And I think you'll have that on this trip. I it's it's reallyStephanie Hansen:I love it.Michael Kenney:Something else with all our hotels. You'll absolutely love that. We know exactly where to stay, and sometimes that's overwhelming when you're looking at doing a trip in your own, like, where should I go? What should I where should I stay? Like, it's overwhelming. We want this to be just book the trip. We're gonna be taking care of all the highlights for you.Stephanie Hansen:Pack your bags and come along. Yes.Michael Kenney:Exactly. So that's that's what's really important to us. And IStephanie Hansen:think I'm looking forward to it. It's gonna be awesome. I'm gonna release this podcast, not this Friday, but next Friday. So k. Between now and then, you guys, I hope you get your seats booked, and I hope to see you on this amazing trip. Thanks, Michael.Michael Kenney:Wonderful.

Let the journey begin!Stephanie Hansen:Hello, everybody. Welcome to the podcast, Dishing with Stephanie's Dish. I hope you're doing great today. I am here with my friend, Michael Kenney, and Michael and I have been traveling together a couple years now. Right, Michael?Michael Kenney:Yeah. We've had, two trips under our belt. So it's, a trip to Croatia and, just recently that Cambodia Vietnam trip. So we've been we've been putting some miles down, Stephanie.Stephanie Hansen:I actually actually was somewhere last night and ran into someone from our trip, and we were comparing our bracelets from when we met the Buddhist monk because both of us still have ours on. Yes.Michael Kenney:Mine, like, just kinda fell apart.Stephanie Hansen:It was such a Oh,Michael Kenney:I woke up in the sun.Stephanie Hansen:Trip. Yes. I'm I'm gonna keep it on as long as I can. It was such a life changing trip. Asia was somewhere that I'd always wanted to go and really didn't have the confidence to do it by myself. So you gave me confidence. Going with other people gave me confidence, and we ended up having such a great time. Pretty good.Stephanie Hansen:I have had another great trip with you. We went to Croatia, and that was an awesome trip. We were on kind of like an exclusive private yacht with, Stan, our tour guide, who was probably one of the best tour guides ever.Michael Kenney:For sure.Stephanie Hansen:And you're going back there to Croatia this summer, aren't you?Michael Kenney:Yeah. Personally, I'm not. I'm gonna have somebody else. I'm a little envious because, yeah, that that trip was straight out of a dream. And, you and your, listeners, followers, they were so much fun.Stephanie Hansen:So Yeah. We did have a good time.Michael Kenney:Yeah. It was great.Stephanie Hansen:So I wanted to podcast with you because people ask me all the time about these trips and, like, how it works and what we do and, you know, like, are you, like, checking people's passports? I'm like, no. Silly. I'm not. But we have a trip coming up to Sicily, a taste of Sicily, which you have so sweetly on your your background there. That's smart. October 14 through the twenty second. And our final payments, I think, are due in June. So we're kind of in the hunt for getting everybody signed up and confirmed.And I wanted to talk with you. I've been to Italy a lot, actually, but I've never been to Sicily. So I'm excited about what that area is gonna be like and you've been. So I thought, alright. Let's just talk a little bit about this and get to know a little bit about how these trips work. So, I like to do trips with people because I like to travel with others. And people always ask me, well, are they food trips? Yes. They are food.Like, we eat food. We enjoy food. We talk about food, but it isn't, like, exclusively a food trip. We know that when you're going to some of these historic destinations that you also wanna see some of the beautiful sites. So we try to mix in some food things like special tastings, special wine events, or special dinners, but we also wanna give you some time to explore the region on your own so that you can go to the restaurants that really appeal to you. And, you know, when you're going with the group, sometimes it's not easy to go to some of these really exclusive special places because you have a larger group. Our group on a trip like this would be, what, would you say, like, less than, like, 26 probably?Michael Kenney:Yeah. It this group size will be anywhere from 20 to 30 maximum on this trip. So it's a real nice, you know, size group for sure.Stephanie Hansen:And you've been to Sicily before. When was the last time you went?Michael Kenney:I was with a group two years ago in Sicily. So I've been there three other times. So just most recently, just two years ago.Stephanie Hansen:And you and I like, I kinda gave you my short list of places. And you asked me about Sicily, and I was like, oh, well, I don't know. I've never really thought about that. And you were like, oh my gosh. It's one of your favorite places in Italy. So tell me what it is that you love about Sicily in particular.Michael Kenney:Yeah. No. That that that's a great question. You already mentioned you've been to Italy several times, and we get a lot of people that have been to Italy. And they're like, alright. I've already done that. Or maybe you haven't, you know, seen the the Colosseum and Venice and things like that. Sicily is is Italian, but it's an island in the middle of the Mediterranean.Michael Kenney:So it's just it's it's it's similar, but it's different. I think everything is elevated. Their food, their sites. I mean, the history has a whole Greek, northern the Arabs. It's a Spanish influence in Normans. They've all kinda come to this island in the middle of the the Mediterranean and put, like, their best foods, their their best everything. And it's kinda mixes and makes a Sicilian dish, which is really cool. So it's it's similar, yes, with their pastas and things like that in Mainland Europe, but it's it's a different notch.Michael Kenney:I think it's above, regular standard Italian food. It's just the flavors, the the spices, everything like that is just it's so good. And that's just the food side of it. And then, of course, I already mentioned with with the Greeks in the Spanish and the Normans, they have their own architectures that they brought, a mix of different languages. So you really feel like you're in a whole another country. It says in Italy, but the Sicilians say we're Sicilian first, then we're Italian.Stephanie Hansen:That's funny.Michael Kenney:So it's it's really so different, of an experience on that end. And I even have, a couple of friends going on this trip, and they've never been to Europe before. And they're saying, hey. We're we're gonna join you on this trip because it sounds lovely, but we've never been to Europe. We've never seen the Colosseum, things like that. Like, is this a good trip for us to take? I go, for sure it is. I mean, you don't have these, you know, the Leaning Tower Of Pisa, but once you get get to these places, you'll say, oh my gosh. I mean, a church that's, a thousand years old, or the little villages that are, you know, 500 years old and just oozing with this with charm.So you're really, having this real great Italian Sicilian experience, but maybe not knowing the sites, but it'll kinda resonate even better when you come back and tell your stories. It's just a beautiful, beautiful trip.Stephanie Hansen:And I think, you know, I've been to Rome. I've been to a lot of the little Italian islands on sailing trips with my husband. And we've been to Naples. We've been to Venice. We've been all over, really. And each of Italy has its own uniqueness, but the islands themselves are just something different because you really did get a lot of influences of people coming through and the trading that happened. And they also weren't as involved in the wars because they were sort of moving to the mainland. So you get a lot of different preservation possibilities, and the culture just held up because they weren't impacted by the wars in the same way.Michael Kenney:Exactly. And I think even early on, Sicilians were were very poor as well. So a lot of things just really, held. So they didn't, you know, knock down buildings and build new skyscrapers, things like that. It's like you're being, on the set of The Godfather, which was filmed there too, part of it at least. And, it was, like, set in time, and you're going there and just really experiencing the the feel, the taste, the smell, even you could call, like, the grit of, like, Palermo. I mean, it has this edge to it in a sense, like, this is a real living city. It sound like all spruced up to be perfect, like, on a set, but that's what makes it so so fantastic.It it's it's real. And I don't think you always get that experience that you're in in Central Rome, and they they, you know, it's all beautiful up. Again Palermo and all these cities that will visit are extremely beautiful but it has it's just a different edge to it and every group that I've ever been there with Stephanie if they've come back and said wow this is a dream. Not just the food, the sites, the experiences, the people. The people are real. They're they're fabulous. So it's it's a real real, just an amazing immersion, if you will, to Sicily.Stephanie Hansen:One of the things that people ask me about too, and I'll be honest with you. I'm not really, like, someone that you would think of as a group traveler. I like a certain amount of, alone time. I don't love to have every single thing coordinated for me. My husband, as you know, is a big adventurer and explorer. He's always the first one to do anything crazy on these trips. But it having a group is it's so nice when it's a smaller group like this because you do get to meet new people. You do get to create a community amongst your travelers.And I'll tell you, my friend Laurie Bargini that went on our Asia trip with us, she was very she's a big traveler too, and she was like, I don't know about this group thing. I was like, just give it a try. Like, Asia's a good one to test it out because it's probably a destination you wouldn't go alone. And she signed up right away for Sicily. She was like, I loved the group elements because when I wanted to, I had a group of friends and it was fun and we could hang out together and do fun things, but also when I wanted to be alone, I could do that too. It she thought it added a whole another layer to the travel experience than you just get either with you and your spouse or you and your friends because you have this whole other dynamic of people that for the most part is pretty great.Michael Kenney:Yeah. I know. And I and that's great. And Laurie was great. I'm glad she signed up because on the flight back from Asia, she sat next to me on the flight, and that's a seventeen hour flight. And if she wants to go back, then that that that's great.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. It's good. Well, you know she talked to you the whole time probably.Michael Kenney:No. I tried to again, maybe it's like the group element. You know, have time on, time off. So I'm glad that was brought up. And I've been doing group tours for twenty eight years now, which I I I can't believe. And I I first started getting into tourism because I wanted to see sites. I'm like, I know I can't pay for it, so I need to be a tour guide and and going from that. I didn't realize the whole experience and having shared experiences with others was gonna be my highlight.And to this day, that's my favorite part is going to meet people that I've never met before and going having these shared experiences with. And and sometimes, you know, you build friends for a lifetime off of that.Michael Kinney:I think especially our last group too, we we really, built that with several of the the travelers, which is great. So and I so if you're hesitant, like, well, I'd like to this trip sounds great or any of our trips, but I am kind of worried about that. We really try to balance all our tours out. It's it's it's imperative that we have that balance of, some of the group time to have these, shared experiences to leisure time so that you can go and have your own adventures. And that is so crucial to all of our trips. That's why our hotels, and we can talk about that later, are centrally located. So once we go out and do, say, our city tour, our our our food tour in Palermo and walking around, you'll have, like, the remainder of the day to go explore on your own or some of those new friends that you met. Maybe you can go out and have a glass of wine with them.But again, it's all about that balance. And we each and every itinerary that we put together, we really work on making sure we have that balance in in the trips itself. Because I think that is the success of it. So we don't pack the days all day long on, like, seeing this, this, and this. We give you the nice highlights, and we'll have some other fun inclusions. But again, each place that we go to centrally located hotels, we have that free time too. So you can do your own thing or jump on with a group that you've met and have cocktails, Aperol spritzes in the main, Piazza later on. So it it's so fun, but it it really comes back.You register for a trip, but you don't know you're gonna meet some great people. And at at the end of the trip, it's typically these, these people and these, shared experiences come back, and that's where the meaning of the the trip comes in. It's so it's it's so much fun to see them build together.Stephanie Hansen:On each of the trips that I've done with you, we've had solo travelersMichael Kenney:Mhmm.Stephanie Hansen:Which I think people are like, oh, you know, I don't know. I don't have a partner to go with or my friend can't go. And that to me has also been super fun, like the solo travelers and the friends that they've made. And, like, one of the gals I saw from our Asia trip, I saw our friend Annie last night, and she was a solo traveler. Ended up pairing up with Laurie in a room and sharing, actually, actually, which a lot of solo travelers don't wanna share. I get that. But in this case, they both did, and they are like fast friends.Michael Kenney:That I mean, that's that's so much fun to see that. First off, if, you know, we all have it like your maybe your husband or wife or friend they don't want to go but you're like interested in this trip. We get that on all of our trips and we specifically specifically have, several single rooms set aside for those, adventure traveler seekers to have that. So you can pick your own room and go as a single or maybe you want us to to pair you up. We can do that too and get you in contact with another solo traveler like lorian annie did and that typically works out really well too but it's it's I think the like minded people looking for adventures you'll never feel like you're by yourself on any of our trips So, like, oh, I'm a third wheel. Never ever ever. And sometimes that's the best way to travel because you don't have to make sure your traveling partner is having a great time. You only can worry about yourself.Hey. I'm gonna have a great time. And, you know, all of our trip travelers that I've I've ever heard from, they've had a great time going solo, and they meet these like minded people. And, again, all of a sudden, they have friends for a lifetime, like, you know, Lori and Annie did. So if you're you're even thinking about it, like, I'm solo and I'm a little skeptical about going by myself, give us a call. Send us an email. We we can get you your own, room, single, room. They are filling up quick, though.We have a few left, or we can pair you up with somebody too to share that single supplement. But, again, you'll never feel like a third wheel with any of our tours. And this, in addition, just works really, really well for single travelers, and you'll meet some probably good friends on it.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. And, also, like, ladies, some of you I know, like, getting coming out of relationships or divorce, you wanna do something unique. I have someone in my family who are shall remain nameless, who's gonna be joining us, who wanted to get back to Europe, but she's just not in a relationship status that would work for that as the way she thought it was gonna be. So I was like, come with us. Like, we're gonna have a ball. There's men. There's women. You know, my husband has come on some trips, but others, he hasn't.And Mhmm. It's just there's a great mix of people.Michael Kenney:Yeah. No. It it it it's great. Now this isn't a singles trip, but maybe you can find Giuseppe at the local cafe. You never know. So you never know. So anyway, yeah, it it works great for whatever status you are in life, single, you know, whatever. It these really, really work really nice.And sometimes, like, my brother came, and we shared a room on our the last trip, and he just wanted to kind of have a experience and get away from, you know, what's going on in life over here and just do a reset. And he came back and said, I'm really recharged. And he's kinda like going into he's retired, and he wants to do something else in his, you know, second part of his life. And he he's going after something right now because he he was able to kinda just disconnect Yeah. And then just take it all in and then kinda come back and, like, let's go. So regardless from relationships to job hunting or whatever, sometimes these trips are great. Even if you go solo, that could even be better.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. Just to get a reset.Can you give us, like, without, like, going into all the detail, like, a high level, not day by day, but just, like, what are the towns we're gonna visit? What are because we're gonna be in, I think, three different areas.Michael Kenney:Yeah. Correct. So if you if you go on our, at definedestinations.com and look at, taste of Sicily Twenty Twenty Five, you can find the day by day, itinerary on that, and you'll get to be able to see through it. But again, it reads like a brochure, and you go through each item. And everything that we mentioned on that, it's, it is included. But the neat thing is we go from the North to the South and then all the way over to the, the East side of the island. So you're really having a great feel for the entire island itself. And, we have three nights in Palermo, and then we have one night in Agrigento, which is at the very southern on the beach, our hotel's right on the beach.You can walk right down there. And even October mid October is a great time to go too because the temperatures are, like, mid seventies, so it's super comfortable. And the water temperature is still pretty nice if you want to jump in. And then we have three nights in Siracoosa. So we we have these, like, kind of, hub and spoke places that we we do our adventures from the but we always come back to our centrally located place. So, anyway, we'll we'll find the Palermo. We have a connection. If you do our included flights, there's no, direct flights from from Minneapolis into Sicily.So we have a connection, on that.Stephanie Hansen:And let me just touch on that because some people want to work with the travel agent to have all of the flight things arranged for them, and that is an option with you. But you also do have options where people can meet you at the destination. So, like, for me, we have a lot of miles that we're always trying to burn up. Yeah. So for us, we book our own airfare so that we can use our miles, and then we sometimes add a few days on at the end, or we might even go to a different destination. With your group travel plans, both of those options are available to people.Michael Kenney:A %. I'm glad you asked that too because, yes, there's people that have miles or if they only wanna stay exclusively with Delta or United or whatever, that's fine. Our trips truly begin and end at at the hotels. With that, we do offer an included group package you can jump on, but the whole group will not be on that flight for sure. It's just an option to do that. And my my team can also, get you, flights separate from that too if you wanted to come early like you said, Stephanie, or stay light. Hey. I wanna go see the Colosseum on this trip.Great. My team can put a pre tour, post tour package together if you want to do that. Or even if you don't want any of our help, that's fine. You can just book our land only. You'll be able to see our group flight numbers on there too so you can kinda coordinate that. But the great thing is that both, airports, in Palermo we fly into, and then we fly out of Catania. They're close to both, towns, so you can easily take an Uber. So it's really pretty easy to get to and from, and that's where the, the the the tour start from.So if you're hesitant, hey. I need to book the group air. Don't worry about that. You don't have to do that by any means. We're happy to help you, on all the other aspects too to to get the airfare, with that. So, yep, we fly into Palermo. We'll settle into our our our three, our centrally located hotel, which is fabulous. Again, remind me that we need to touch on the the hotels too a little bit.Stephanie Hansen:Yep.Michael Kenney:But it's right in the center. We'll do a food tour of one of the local markets. Again, like you mentioned, maybe we have some guests on the trip that could care less about food or wine tastings. It's just a a piece of of our trip. So even if you're, a modest food lover or you only like cornflakes, there's gonna be some fun things to do on this as well. And we find that, you learn a lot about the culture through the food. Yeah. That's the reason we we do part of that too.So it'll be fun regardless. You're going through the markets. You're learning about the foods. Things like that. We go to, the the Cathedral Of Monreali, which, hey. We're seeing another church. We typically don't always do that, but this is really specific. This church is beautiful.It's got, it's it's a massive church built in the twelfth century, and they're famous for all its mosaics. The whole interior, the churches, all these fine mosaics they did almost a thousand years ago. It's unreal. So it's beautiful that we'll be doing that. We'll go to Cefalu, a little, seaside village, which is outside of Palermo a little ways. Maybe you've seen White Lotus. Part of that was filmed there or all parts of the, that, season two was filmed in Sicily. So we'll have a lot of White Lotus moments, as well on that, which which will be a lot of fun.And then from there, we'll be driving after our three nights in, in Palermo. We'll be heading south, crossing the entire, island itself. Absolutely beautiful. Even our coach rides, which aren't a lot, that they're just stunning. And and enjoying the countryside is absolutely beautiful. And we'll be going to that's where Agrigento is, and it feels like you're being stuck in Greece. Like, wow. There's all these Greek ruins, you know, two, three thousand years old.It's like, this is unbelievable. They have some of the better Greek ruins even outside of Athens, which is amazing. So walking through Agrigento, experiencing that, seeing that during the sunset, it's it's it's magical. I use that word a lot, but I think the whole trip really is. And then we we we settle into our hotel right on the beach, which is lovely. And then from there, we'll be going over to Siracusa, which is one of my favorite places ever. My first time I went to Sicily, we didn't go there. And I went back and I said, how do we skip that the first time? Siracoosa is, it's unbelievable.And you've agreed too. We we're staying right in they called it Ortega. That's like the old city of Siracusa. And we're staying right inside the city wall. So our bus will drop our private bus for our group will drop us off, and then we have to walk about ten minutes to our hotel, which is on a small little alleyway. And we'll talk about that later on. But it's a great location that we'll be doing, having different experiences, seeing all the the ruins, walking around at night. It's just beautiful.And from there, we'll be out we'll also be going to see Mount Etna, which is still an active volcano. We'll be on the sides of it. It's unbelievable. All of a sudden, you feel like you're being transported onto the moon. You see the vents and things like that. It's beautiful. And they grow some amazing wines there too on the slopes of it, and we'll be tasting some of those.Stephanie Hansen:That's so cool.Michael Kenney:Yeah. It's it's it's it really is pretty cool, because of that that rich soil just offers great Sicilian wines and the dry and the the elevation. So it it culminates to be really, really good. So, work on your Sicilian, reds. They're they're quite good.Stephanie Hansen:It will be exciting. Yeah.Michael Kenney:No. It it it's great. So I mean, it's it's seven, nights, a nine day trip, in Sicily. You'll have a real good flavor of the city, of all the areas that we visit. So it's it's quite nice. And if you go on the, the website, you'll see all the the inclusions as well. So we include mostly everything that we've talked about. There's really, we don't include all the meals because we want some experiences, for yourself too to go out and go, hey.Michael Kenney:We're gonna go to this little restaurant or whatever. Mhmm. And we have a local guide with us the entire time that will really help, talk about the history, and, you know, what's going on with the people itself, but then just pointing out great restaurants and other little experiences you can doStephanie Hansen:during the free And that's I love that because when we go to some of these places, like, I think I told you my husband is, he's kind of an you know, he's in venture. He always wants to do his own thing. So if we land in a place, he's like, okay. We're gonna take off. We're gonna go do this. We're gonna do that. And, you know, we try to balance, like, doing the group things with also him having his best life and doing some unique, food experiences just on our own. So every everybody gets a little bit of everything.It's a real delightful mix. You've been to Sicily. Now I think this will be, you said, your third time, fourth time?Michael Kenney:Fourth time.Stephanie Hansen:I'm so impressed that you're coming.Michael Kenney:Yeah. I'd well, I can't miss with your groups too. I can't go on all our trips, but this is definitely one I I, notched away because I think, part of me still is in Sicily. There's there's just something about it, and you can't you know, I've been to other parts of Italy plenty of times, and I feel like I'm an Italian, but, there's just something with Sicily. Maybe I meant I meant the grit. I've talked about that. It feels like a real city, real sites, real food, just from the the different markets, the fish markets is just everything seems really authentic.Stephanie Hansen:I love it.Michael Kenney:That's what I really, really love, and I think the guests do too. I'm I'm just envisioning myself walking and through Palermo with my last group, and there was, like, there was music being played in the streets, and people are sitting down and having glasses of wine. There was no festival going on. It was just this this zest for life thatStephanie Hansen:Yeah. The Italians just in general, they stay up late. They eat late. So they have, like, a happy hour kind of at, like, six to seven, and then they go home and get ready to go out for the dinner time in a lot of cases. So they spend a lot of time outdoors, and they like to do it when it's not in the blazing hot sun. So things really there's a great nightlife. People are, out and about into all hours of the evening, which is fun. So I'm just super excited.So if people wanna join us, you said I mean, I know we've got some rooms booked already. Yeah. So are there some rooms left if people wanna book, and what is the timeline that they should be doing that, and how do they do it?Michael Kenney:Yeah. That's a great question. So I said we have about we can handle maximum of 30 people. So we have about seven rooms up, so about 14 people. So if someone calls and say, well, will this be booked up by next week? It probably won't be, but I always tell people, go ahead, put your deposit down, hold the seat on the trip itself. And you just have to go to definedestinations.com. You can book everything right then then and there. It's super simple process.You just put your your information in. You don't need a valid passport right now to to enter that in. But you just go ahead and you fill that out, put your deposit down, at least then you'll you'll have a, a seat held for you. Then you can work on if you wanna get your own air fryer or if you wanna stay earlier, you know, stay after later on the trip itself. You you can do that all right there as well. So it's pretty simple.Stephanie Hansen:And then once you're booked and we know who's coming, we usually try to have a call to kinda give everybody the particulars of that trip. Sometimes depending on our time frame, we try to get together in person. I wasn't able for the last one because I had so many things coming, and I'm not sure what'll happen with this one because I've got the cookbook coming out, in September. But one way or another, we will see each other's faces, and we will get on that plane, and we will arrive together and have a blast. So I'm looking forward to it, and we've got other trips planned. I know we're trying to book another Croatia trip possibly for the following year for the fall and something in the spring. So if you guys have any destinations you wanna check out with me, let me know. I'm always looking for new places to go. You just went to the Galapagos. It sounded like it was amazing.Michael Kenney:Yeah. It that that was, fabulous. I was just doing a site inspection because we're looking about having groups go to the Galapagos and the Amazon, and it it was it was unreal. I loved it. Completely different experience from going to, to going to Sicily. Well, that's great. There's so many experiences to have on our on the world, and we only have so much time to be able to do those. So you gotta kinda hit that hierarchy of, you know, what's what's important.For anybody that's just thinking about it or if this is the first time you've ever even heard of Sicily, please take a look at this because it is really a magical trip, and we have so many fun inclusions. Our hotel locations are in the city center. I wanted to mention that, not, just because we're on tiny little streets. So you mentioned, like, the the nightlife. It's we're not on a bustling street where all the cars are going by. It's like you feel like you're a local. You'll go out the door, and there's mama Rosita across the street, you know, cutting herStephanie Hansen:Yeah. Sitting outside. Yes.Michael Kenney:That's the experience we want, not just on this trip, all of our trips. We want you to feel like you're kind of a, a local for even three nights when we're there, so you'll know where the the nearest bakery is and, the restaurants. And I think you'll have that on this trip. I it's it's reallyStephanie Hansen:I love it.Michael Kenney:Something else with all our hotels. You'll absolutely love that. We know exactly where to stay, and sometimes that's overwhelming when you're looking at doing a trip in your own, like, where should I go? What should I where should I stay? Like, it's overwhelming. We want this to be just book the trip. We're gonna be taking care of all the highlights for you.Stephanie Hansen:Pack your bags and come along. Yes.Michael Kenney:Exactly. So that's that's what's really important to us. And IStephanie Hansen:think I'm looking forward to it. It's gonna be awesome. I'm gonna release this podcast, not this Friday, but next Friday. So k. Between now and then, you guys, I hope you get your seats booked, and I hope to see you on this amazing trip. Thanks, Michael.Michael Kenney:Wonderful. Thanks, Michael.Stephanie Hansen:It was awesome. It's defined destinations. You can find them at defineddestinations.com. Taste of Italy is right on the front page. Click that, and you can see all the itinerary of the whole trip. And we're gonna have a great time.Michael Kenney:Taste of Sicily.Stephanie Hansen:Yes. The tasteMichael Kenney:of Sicily.Stephanie Hansen:Oh, what did I call it? What did I say? Taste ofMichael Kenney:Italy. We have one of those too. Oh, okay. The Sicily one.Stephanie Hansen:Taste of Sicily specifically. Yes. And then if you like Italy, you can go back because there are a lot of places to go back to. Amalfi Coast is great, but it's different. And, like, I there I've been to a lot of different places in Italy, and they're all a little bit different. And I like them all for different reasons. So I'm really excited to explore Sicily.Michael Kenney:Yep. It's gonna be great. Well, thanks so much for the time.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. We'll talk soon.Michael Kenney:Yep.Stephanie Hansen:Bye.

Il progetto Bythos dell'Università di Palermo, vincitore dei RegioStars Awards 2024, trasforma gli scarti di pesce in preziose risorse per l'industria farmaceutica, cosmetica e medica. Grazie ai fondi europei del programma Interreg e alla collaborazione con l'Università di Malta, sono stati sviluppati protocolli semplificati per estrarre molecole bioattive come collagene marino, antiossidanti e chitosano, utilizzabili per creare packaging biodegradabile, bendaggi per ustionati e altri prodotti innovativi. Bythos rappresenta un esempio concreto di economia circolare, convertendo rifiuti costosi da smaltire in risorse sostenibili e preziose.

Propiedades, empresas, campos vitícolas, Ferraris, maquinaria agrícola, actividades turísticas, pinturas de Salvador Dalí.   Estos son los tipos de bienes que confisca a la mafia italiana la Agencia de Administración y Destinación de los Bienes Secuestrados y Confiscados a la Criminalidad Organizada. Creada en el 2010, las incautaciones de esta agencia han permitido que miles de bienes salgan del circuito ilícito y regresen a las manos de la sociedad civil transformando territorios asediados por la mafia. Este modelo es considerado como un ejemplo en la lucha contra el crimen organizado en Europa y más allá. La legislación antimafia en Italia remonta a los años 60 para tratar de frenar la violencia. Pero la verdadera revolución "llegó con la ley Latorre del 82, porque fue la primera que intentó dar una definición de asociación mafiosa y también confiscar los bienes de la mafia", explica la doctora en geografía especializada en el estudio del crimen organizado, Claudia Palermo.Al definir la asociación mafiosa se puede a la vez definir el proceso de confiscación "que es bastante largo y necesita pasar por diversas etapas". El proceso también puede ser preventivo "cuando se busca evitar que los bienes sean destruidos".Las autoridades se preguntaban qué hacer con todo lo que se recuperaba. Es ahí cuando la sociedad civil se movilizó para que esos bienes tan diversos pudieran ser nuevamente útiles. Todo cambió con la ley 109 86 "impulsada por la Asociación Libera, que se ocupa de antimafia"."Esta ley estableció que esos bienes tenían una importancia y tenían que volver a la sociedad, a la comunidad, para convertirse en algo positivo. Confiscar un bien no es solo una acción económica es una acción social", explica Claudia Palermo, que estudió de cerca el caso de dos ciudades: Bari en el sur y Lecco en el norte de Italia.Desde el 2010, la Agencia de Administración y Destinación de los Bienes Secuestrados y Confiscados a la Criminalidad Organizada rastrea las actividades ilícitas para pegarle en el bolsillo a la mafia. Existen diversas tipologías como bienes inmuebles, empresas y cada tipo de bien se procesa de manera distinta. En el caso de un terreno agrícola por ejemplo,  las asociaciones, tiene que presentar un proyecto de utilización social: "Tenemos ejemplos de campos donde dan empleo o servicio para la comunidad". Recuperar el territorio de las manos de la mafia"Lo interesante es que la confiscación no es solo un componente punitivo sino también simbólico, porque con la confiscación vamos a tomar el poder territorial de la mafia y de lo criminal. Francesco Inzerillo, un jefe mafioso en 2007, durante una conversación con su sobrino en la cárcel de Torino, dijo 'no hay cosa peor que la confiscación de bienes. Lo mejor es marcharse.' Esta reflexión muestra que la importancia de este dispositivo", agrega la investigadora, que insiste en la baja significativa de la violencia gracias a este método puesto que el control territorial es uno de los pilares de la estructura de las mafias.Las cuatro más conocidas en Italia -la siciliana Cosa Nostra, la calabresa  'Ndrangheta, La Camorra de Nápoles y la Sacra Corona Unita de Apulia- extienden sus redes en el territorio italiano y mucho más allá. Es particularmente cierto en el caso de la 'Ndrangheta, cuyos lazos con carteles latinoamericanos han sido establecidos. De hecho, recientemente Italia y México firmaron un convenio de cooperación para luchar contra el tráfico de drogas. Ante la internacionalización de las organizaciones criminales, el modelo italiano se exporta. Es el caso en Argentina donde a finales del 2024 organizaciones llevaron ante el congreso el proyecto de ley "Bien Restituido", inspirado en la distribución social italiana. "Es un ejemplo muy importante, dice Palermo, porque busca adaptar el modelo italiano al contexto argentino. Pero tenemos que decir que en Argentina no tenemos una legislación que quiere definir o dar una definición de asociación criminal o asociación mafiosa." Lo que es indispensable para legislar.La reutilización también se aplica en 19 países en Europa y en Colombia, cada vez adaptando el concepto a la realidad del país y al tipo de actividad de los grupos porque no es lo mismo una mafia, un cartel o el crimen organizado. Si los avances en Italia han sido gigantescos, el precio que ha pagado la sociedad italiana ha sido alto. Basta con enumerar a las personalidades que viven bajo protección policíaca o que han perdido la vida al oponerse al sistema mafioso. Ahora, Italia y toda Europa tienen el desafío de seguir el ritmo frenético de la actividad criminal que se adapta rápido y sabe borrar las fronteras entre las actividades lícitas e ilícitas. #EscalaenParís también está en redes socialesUn programa coordinado por Ana María Ospina, Florencia Valdés.

Stāsta gleznotājs un Latvijas Mākslas akadēmijas profesors Aleksejs Naumovs Gleznotājs Valdis Kalnroze nodzīvoja ilgu mūžu – deviņdesmit deviņus gadus. 1932. gadā ar diplomdarbu "Darbs" viņš beidza Latvijas Mākslas akadēmijas profesora Vilhelma Purvīša vadīto glezniecības meistardarbnīcu. Mākslas akadēmijā Valdis Kalnroze studēja kopā ar Eduardu Kalniņu – abi ar motociklu apceļoja Beļģiju, Holandi, Vāciju. Bet runājot par to punktiņu... Ir tāds stāstiņš, kam var ticēt vai neticēt, bet… Kalnrozem bija ļoti labi, tonāli interesanti darbi, bet Kalniņš par tiem reiz prātoja – kaut kā tur pietrūkst, un ieteica uzlikt kaut kādu akcentu. Kalnrozem akurāt bija tieši tāda brīnišķīga, rozīgi pelēka ainava, un viņš ielikta to punktiņu. Šķita, ka punktiņš tā kā traucē, bet brīdī, kad viņš to noņēma, Kalniņš viņam ieteica, ka punktiņu tomēr vajagot atstāt, jo tas pievērš uzmanību, dod savu centru. Un Valdim Kalnrozem tas sarkanais punktiņš parādās arī vēlāk – tas nepazuda, un tā bija veiksme! Man pašam bija tas gods mācīties pie Eduarda Kalniņa radošajā aspirantūrā kopā ar Vitu Merci, Miervaldi Poli. Viņš bija fantastisks gleznotājs un fantastisks cilvēks; sarunās par mākslu un dzīvi viņš ieteica: ja jums ir kāds darbs no agrīniem laikiem, nevajag to pārgleznot! Jo viņš mēdza pirkt antikvariātā savus darbus no Sicīlijas [posma], un pēc tam tos pielaboja vai pārgleznoja. Bet mums viņš teica – darbs nepaliks ne sliktāks, ne labāks, tas kļūs citādāks, bet atmosfēra var arī pazust. Noteikti tā nedariet! Labāk paņemiet vai nu kartonu, vai audeklu, un sāciet jaunu darbu. Kalniņš mums rādīja bildes, ko gleznojis Palermo. Kad pats turp aizbraucu, izdomāju: atradīšu to vietu, ko gleznojis Kalniņš. Ilgi meklēju, un pēc fotogrāfijām taču atradu! Protams, tur kaut kas bija mainījies, bet ne daudz. Uzgleznoju. Kā sarunu biedrs Eduards Kalniņš bija ļoti interesants. Viņš spēlēja arī ģitāru, un, ja kāds kolēģis, sēžot pie glāzītes, bija mazliet pāršāvis pār strīpu, viņš teica: "Tu esi zaļš salātiņš, ej prom! Tu nemāki dzert!" Un tam cilvēkam bija vien jāiet, jo kad meistars tā pasaka, neko nevar darīt... Kalniņš mēdza teikt arī tā: "Ja negribat noreibt, vajag ēst vairāk sviesta!" Tas palīdzot… Viens no viņa interesantajiem stāstiem ir par to, kā gleznotājs Jānis Pauļuks nācis pie viņa mācīties gleznot. Pie durvīm pieklājīgi kāds pieklauvē, Eduards Kalniņš atver durvis un redz: stāv cilvēks apģērbā, kas raksturīgs māksliniekam, ar bereti un cimdiem... Aicina jaunekli iekšā. Par ko runāsim? Pauļuks saka – gribot būt gleznotājs, un vai Kalniņš viņam nevarot palīdzēt par tādu tapt. Kalniņš Pauļukam atbildēja tā: kad nāksi nākamreiz, noņem visas beretes, aizmirsti īpašās drēbes, jo gleznošana – tas ir kaut kas cits. Lai tu būtu gleznotājs, nevajag obligāti ģērbties kā māksliniekam. Tas tev pašam jāsajūt iekšēji – ka tu gribi būt gleznotājs. Pēc nedēļas Jānis Pauļuks atnāca pie Kalniņa normālās drēbēs, un Kalniņš viņu faktiski arī ievirzīja mākslas sliedēs. Jānis Pauļuks abi ar brāli bija kaligrāfi. Jānis strādāja Zemes dienesta mērīšanas nodaļā, jo kaligrāfija – tā ir smalka lieta. Tāpēc arī viņam tie triepieni un tecējumi, ko dēvē par tašismu: tas deva tādu artavu, ka Pauļuks kļuva izcils gleznotājs! Mums bija tas gods viesosies viņa darbnīcā… Kad ieraudzīju, ka tur vis nav kaut kāds bardaks vai ekspresīva nekārtība… Kā viņam stāvēja tūbiņas un otiņas – nu, tas bija fantastiski! Jo viņš bija kaligrāfs. Vēl maza atmiņa par franču gleznotāju Klodu Monē. Reiz devos gleznot uz Živernī, viņa valstību – dārziņu un parku. Tur neatļāva gleznot pa dienu, teica – tikai pēc sešiem. Vajagot Kultūras ministrijas atļauju. Bet mani tā kā ielaida... Ap sešiem skatos: skrien ļoti daudz pavecāku kundžu ar molbertiem, cita citu grūstīdamas, un viena pieskrien pie manis un saka – tā esot viņas vieta un lai to atbrīvojot. Tās bija laikam amatieres, kas gribēja gleznot "kā Monē", un viņai tieši to vietu arī vajadzēja. Saku: nu labi, labi! Nostājos blakus. Bet – kad gleznoju dārzu, tik viegli nebija. Sveša teritorija. Tad vajadzēja "parunāt" ar Monē – viņš "atļāva", un es kaut ko uzgleznoju. Interesants ir arī stāsts par Jāni Brekti un viņa brīnišķīgajiem akvareļiem, kurus ļoti daudzi kopēja jeb viltoja ar visu parakstu. Reiz man bija jākonsultē, vai konkrētais darbs ir oriģināls vai nav. Viss norādīja uz to, ka tas ir oriģināls, bet… viņa triepieni bija tik brīvi, ka tos grūti atkārtot. Un pierādījās, ka tas diemžēl ir viltojums. Arī Purvīti ļoti daudzi viltoja.  Bet noslēgumam – kāds jauks stāsts par Konrādu Ubānu, pie kura mācījos otrajā kursā. Viņš daudz stāstīja par ainavu. Kāds kolēģis prasīja: nu, kā to ainavu uzgleznot, lai tā būtu laba un kvalitatīva? Viņš teica: "Ainavu vajag gleznot no rīta līdz vakaram, gan jau tā dvēselīte ienāks!"

C'è un confine tra la propaganda e la bestemmia civile. Forza Italia lo ha superato il 23 marzo 2025, al Politeama Garibaldi di Palermo, usando la voce di Giovanni Falcone come sottofondo al proprio convegno sulla giustizia. Un partito fondato da un pregiudicato, costruito da un condannato per concorso esterno, che si prende il lusso di evocare Falcone nel salotto dove si riabilita D'Alì e si cita Mangano come “eroe”. Falcone parlava di codice penale, di riforme, di impegno. Parlava da magistrato che conosceva il peso delle parole. Ma chi lo cita oggi lo fa per spingere una riforma – la separazione delle carriere tra giudici e pubblici ministeri – che lo stesso Falcone temeva. In Cose di Cosa Nostra, nel 1991, spiegava che una tale separazione avrebbe indebolito la lotta alla mafia, spezzando l'unità della magistratura e rendendo più vulnerabile il lavoro delle procure alle pressioni esterne. E mentre Forza Italia si commuove davanti alle sue frasi, ignora il proprio archivio giudiziario: Marcello Dell'Utri, condannato a 7 anni per concorso esterno in associazione mafiosa; Antonio D'Alì, 6 anni, stessa imputazione; Amedeo Matacena, 3 anni per contiguità con la 'ndrangheta; Nicola Cosentino, 10 anni per concorso esterno con il clan dei Casalesi; Giancarlo Pittelli, 11 anni in primo grado per aver operato a favore della 'ndrangheta; Salvatore Ferrigno, 10 anni in primo grado per voto di scambio politico-mafioso. Falcone non appartiene a un partito. Non può essere brandizzato. Non può essere usato come copertura da chi ha contribuito, anche solo per affinità, a rendere questo Paese meno giusto. Bisogna ricordarsi di ricordare, anche quando non conviene. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

Parliamo di campo perché la partita tra Salernitana e Palermo ha il sapore di una sfida tra deluse. Da un lato i campani che hanno disperato bisogno di punti salvezza, dall'altro i rosanero che devono provare a dare un senso a questo finale di stagione

Come stare in relazione con gli adolescenti. Prendendo anche spunto dalla serie tv "Adolescence" che ha messo in risalto la discrepanza di dialogo tra adulti e giovani, ospitiamo in studio lo psicologo Matteo Lancini presidente della fondazione Minotauro.Aggiornamenti da OdessaCon Attilio Malliani, consigliere Affari Esteri del sindaco di OdessaUn referendum a scuola per abrogare il grembiule. Ne parliamo con il promotore Giovanni Lo Monaco, maestro di scuola elementare a Palermo.

PALERMO (ITALPRESS) - “Abbiamo deciso di dedicare il nostro primo maggio proprio sulla salute e sicurezza nei luoghi di lavoro. Io sarò presente qui a Palermo. Noi pensiamo che quello che è stato realizzato già con un provvedimento del Governo, un decreto, sia importante ma al momento non è sufficiente. Bisogna assolutamente investire in prevenzione, investire in maggiori controlli, mettere a sistema le banche dati, fare una formazione molto forte a partire dalle scuole, perché pensiamo che è lì che si debba creare una coscienza della tutela, della salute e della sicurezza nei luoghi di lavoro. Noi siamo impegnati con i nostri rappresentanti della sicurezza, li stiamo formando, continuiamo a formarli, ma è importante trasferire alle imprese un principio, investire in sicurezza non è mai un costo, è il modo per qualificare l'impresa, qualificare il lavoro e far sì che le persone che escono da casa per recarsi sui posti di lavoro possano tornare nelle loro abitazioni, perché il lavoro deve essere il luogo nel quale le persone realizzano la propria dignità e il proprio progetto di vita”. Così Daniela Fumarola, segretaria generale Cisl, a margine del congresso Cisl Palermo Trapani, anche alla luce dei morti sul lavoro che ci sono stati nelle ultime ore. xd6/vbo/gtr

PALERMO (ITALPRESS) - “Allarme salari? E' dimostrato che quando ci sono i rinnovi dei contratti i salari crescono. È quello che la CISL ripete ormai da tantissimi anni. Bisogna rinnovare i contratti sia pubblici che privati, perché è lì che si ragiona sugli incrementi. Pensiamo che ritardare nei rinnovi di contratti, penso a quelli del settore pubblico, sia assolutamente sbagliato perché si nega a lavoratrici e lavoratori la possibilità di avere un incremento salariale, in questo tempo così complesso e soprattutto. Se penso ai contratti del pubblico impiego, mai si era verificato che ci fossero delle risorse per i rinnovi contrattuali, nel nostro caso fino al 2030. Il tema salariale va affrontato con i rinnovi, il tema salariale va affrontato con una maggiore produttività che va redistribuita, va affrontato con investimenti che devono generare buona occupazione, stabilizzare l'occupazione che c'è e dare la possibilità alle persone di potere immaginare un proprio progetto di vita concreto”. Così Daniela Fumarola, segretaria generale Cisl, a margine del congresso Cisl Palermo Trapani. Sulla Sicilia e il gap tra mezzogiorno e nord: “Credo che al Sud, come anche nel resto del Paese, vadano spese bene le risorse delle quali si dispone. Abbiamo risorse importantissime del PNRR che, se spese presto e bene, possono generare nuova occupazione, possono stabilizzare quella che c'è e possono dare appunto una prospettiva anche a coloro che in questo momento vivono un rapporto di lavoro povero. In Italia non c'è un problema di occupazione, c'è un problema non di quantità ma di qualità del lavoro. Spesso, soprattutto giovani e donne, sono obbligate ad accettare lavori poveri e quindi part-time involontari perché non riescono a conciliare la vita lavorativa con la vita personale, non possono fare straordinari. Noi dobbiamo concentrarci su queste due leve, investimenti e spendere bene le risorse. Il 2026, che è la scadenza per la quale il PNRR concluderà il suo percorso, è alle porte. Pensiamo che attraverso una governance partecipata, quindi con l'impegno di tutti a partire del sindacato, si possa e si debba verificare la qualità della spesa, perché sarebbe sbagliato e sarebbe veramente un tradimento nei confronti delle persone, avere le disponibilità, non poterle utilizzare e lasciare che la disoccupazione, soprattutto al Sud, resti”. xd6/vbo/gtr

PALERMO (ITALPRESS) - “Ipotesi di riconvertire l'automotive per costruire automezzi militari?

L'ulteriore investimento, che sicuramente ci sarà per via delle decisioni assunte anche a livello europeo, quindi per una difesa europea - che noi  abbiamo salutato con favore perché siamo in emergenza, bisogna difendersi - deve diventare un driver di sviluppo aggiuntivo, non sostitutivo”.

PALERMO (ITALPRESS) - Un metodo più 'smart' per raccogliere i rifiuti nelle zone di Palermo a maggior affluenza turistica: Rap introduce i cestini intelligenti, con un sistema compattante per impedire un riempimento immediato e un'alimentazione esclusivamente a energia solare. Il prototipo è stato collocato questa mattina di fronte al teatro Massimo, alla presenza del presidente dell'azienda partecipata Giuseppe Todaro: altri nove verranno messi in punti diversi del territorio cittadino, rigorosamente in zone dove il sole è più forte per favorire la ricarica. I cestini sono dotati di un corpo in metallo con adesivi che richiamano al rispetto dell'ambiente, una bocca per l'apertura che può essere attivata con una leva o un pedale anti inciampo (e una spia rossa per segnalare quando il cestino è pieno), un contenitore carrellato nel quale i rifiuti vengono compattati a ogni riempimento, un pannello solare in alto protetto da una cupola trasparente in policarbonato e un sistema di gestione online accessibile ai responsabili di Rap accreditati al monitoraggio dei livelli di riempimento. "L'auspicio è di evolverci come nelle più grandi città europee - sottolinea Todaro, - I cestini intelligenti dovrebbero aiutarci ad avere meno spazzatura per le strade, l'obiettivo è l'avanzamento lento verso un senso civico maggiore. La differenza con un normale cestino è che è dotato di un sistema compattante, quindi si riempie in più tempo: al suo interno è possibile inserire i classici rifiuti da cestino, di certo non i sacchetti. Non possiamo mettere venti cestini in ogni luogo, perché sarebbe uno scempio: così invece in unico spazio mettiamo un solo contenitore".xd8/vbo/mca3

Beneath the streets of Palermo lies a haunting yet deeply human story—the Capuchin Catacombs, where the dead remain eerily present. In this episode, we step into the dim corridors lined with mummified monks, aristocrats, and children, exploring the motivations behind their unusual burials. What drove people to preserve their bodies in such a dramatic fashion? How did visitors of the past experience this macabre yet sacred space? And what does it reveal about our own desire to be remembered? Join me as we unravel history, confront mortality, and uncover the echoes of those who came before us.

Dopo due mesi i combattimenti tra Israele e il gruppo terroristico Hamas che governa i territori palestinesi della Striscia di Gaza sono ricominciati. In questa puntata parliamo anche del Manifesto di Ventotene, di cui la presidente del Consiglio Giorgia Meloni ha parlato davanti al Parlamento italiano, sollevando una grande polemica. Poche e sempre più costose, negli Stati Uniti è emergenza uova e così la nazione corre ai ripari; intanto nella scuola Rita Borsellino di Palermo gli alunni hanno votato al referendum sui grembiuli e hanno detto no alla divisa. Infine una buona notizia: dopo tre mesi, il pinguino Stanley è tornato a casa

John Notaro may have spent his early years in Brooklyn, but there's no denying pizza and baking are in his DNA. He spent years at Sbarro, then ran a bakery until he became partners at Famous Ben's, a SoHo landmark since 1979 (they celebrate 46 years in business this month). We talked about his "Palermo" which aficionados will recognize as a sfincione (sans anchovies).

So in the 17th Century, in Rome, Giulia Tofana led a group of women who made devotional oils, cosmetic liquids and of course, poison.  This poison was a famed untraceable and undetectable poison for it's time and it was dubbed Aqua Tofana.  4 doses they said, could put any man in his grave.  It was a way for women, who could not get a divorce to get out of some very bad situations and over 20 years, these women claimed to have killed over 600 men,  We discuss the poison, the time, the place and famous folks who felt they were victims of this strange brew.  We also talk bodily autonomy, the trend 'Make Aqua Tofana Great Again', Dandy's World, The Princess Bride, (Princess Buttercup has entered the chat), iocaine powder and just plain being decent to one another in this, wait, they REALLY did that episode of the Family Plot Podcast!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.

En nuestro radar de hoy aparece una compañía que no termina de arrancar este año: PUMA. La marca de zapatillas publicó previsiones que decepcionaron al mercado y que hicieron que sus acciones bajaran hasta puntos que no se veían desde 2016: sus títulos se cotizaron en 22,16 euros. La compañía augura unos ingresos antes de impuestos para este año de entre 500 y 620 millones de euros, un 27% por debajo de lo que los analistas calculaban unos 690 millones e inferiores, también, a los 622 millones que ganó el año pasado. La empresa pierde la mitad de su valor de mercado en 2025 y se queda con una capitalización de 3.100 millones de euros. Estas malas previsiones vienen de la mano con unos resultados dispares en 2024. Aumentó sus ingresos un 2,5% pero facturó casi un 8% más. También ingresó un 4,4% más con sus ventas, gracias sobre todo a su división de calzado. Y es que como hizo su gran rival Adidas o Nike, Puma ha conseguido sacar grandes beneficios con sus modelos retro. En 2024, recurrió al modelo Palermo replicando los modelos Samba y Gazelle de Adidas. Estas versiones retro hicieron darle la vuelta a un mal 2024 para la compañía. Nike anunció hace unos días el relanzamiento de sus icónicas T-90: estas zapatillas que llevaron jugadores como Ronaldinho o Ronaldo, tendrán un modelo de calle. Ahora PUMA seguirá apostando por esta vía de cara a 2025. Puma sacará este año su nuevo modelo SpeedCat en colaboración con Balenziaga. Con este anuncio matarán dos pájaros de un tiro: explotar el mercado de lujo y el universo retro. Será una apuesta arriesgada ya que este zapato, que reinventa el modelo sacado en 1999 y que tiene influencias de la Fórmula 1, presenta el exterior ligeramente rasgado. Además, la compañía sigue muy ligada al mundo del fitness. Tanto es así, que llegó a un acuerdo para patrocinar y vestir a los atletas de la competición de fitness Hyrox. La historia de Puma se remonta a 1924: los hermanos Rudolf Dassler y Adolf "Adi" Dassler fundaron la fábrica de zapatos hermanos Dassler, pero en 1948 se separaron en dos empresas independientes: Rudolf Dassler creó Ruda, y Adi Dassler creó Adidas Posteriormente, Ruda se convirtió en Puma.

This is one of them.In this episode, we uncover the dark and fascinating legend of Testa di Moro, the iconic Sicilian ceramic heads that adorn balconies across the island.

And how did their story become immortalised in Sicilian tradition?If you love history, folklore, and stories that leave a mark, this episode is for you.Got an Idea for the Podcast?I'd love to hear from you!

Roberto Deidier"Quest'anno il lupo fissa negli occhi l'uomo"Molesini Editore Veneziawww.molesinieditore.itNell'introduzione a Il primo orizzonte Luigi Surdich scriveva, leggendo la poesia di Roberto Deidier: «Scopriamo […] di trovarci nel centro della poesia contemporanea: nel cuore di una poesia da secolo nuovo […] che, per deliberata presa di distanze tanto dallo sperimentalismo quanto dalla declinazione postmoderna, fonda il luogo della pronuncia in versi in una peculiare “attualità”». A più di vent'anni, l'esattezza elegante delle parole di Surdich colpisce anche laddove sia inevitabile, oggi, vederne virare il colore verso tinte forse inattese. Anche questo è, a dispetto della dichiarazione del suo autore, libro unitario, in cui la linea del tempo non si palesa e anzi si fa elemento di coerenza architettonica dell'insieme, parlandoci di una poesia capace di persistere, insistendo nel tempo, facendosene attraversare, senza farsene, però, esaurire. Siamo alla presenza di un lirico di razza, forse uno degli ultimi nel nostro panorama poetico, per il quale ogni cosa è, anzitutto, questione di ritmo.Quest'anno il lupo fissa negli occhi l'uomoTra i muri di una casa l'universoHa i segreti che può avere un giardino:Una carezza è lo schiudersi di corolle.I moti dei venti accennano un sussultoE le leggi del suono e della luceMimano all'alba una stella che nasceTra il letto e la cucina. La vita nuzialeÈ in questa fisica dell'essenziale.Roberto Deidier (Roma 1965). Vive tra la sua città natale e Palermo, dove insegna Letteratura italiana all'Università. Le sue poesie sono raccolte nei volumi Una stagione continua (Pequod, 2002), Il primo orizzonte (San Marco dei Giustiniani, 2002), Solstizio (Mondadori, 2014), All'altro capo (Mondadori 2021). Nel 2011 è apparso un quaderno di versioni poetiche, Gabbie per nuvole (Empirìa). Le sue traduzioni da John Keats sono pubblicate in un Meridiano Mondadori; per la stessa collana ha curato Poesie, prose e diari di Sandro Penna. Tra i suoi volumi di saggi si ricordano Le forme del tempo. Miti, fiabe, immagini di Italo Calvino (Sellerio 2004, nuova edizione 2023) e Il lampo e la notte. Per una poetica del moderno (Sellerio 2012).Marco Carmello (Milano 1974) insegna letteratura italiana all'Università Complutense di Madrid. È autore di saggi e articoli su Brunetto Latini, Tesauro, Vico, Gadda, Michelstaedter, Manganelli, Morante, Pizzuto, Morselli, Caproni. Si occupa di estetica e teoria della letteratura, ermeneutica, poetica, stilistica, letterature comparate e lavora sulle relazioni fra poesia e filosofia oltre che sull'intertestualità fra la letteratura e le altre arti.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Your host, Cepee, is joined by a returning favorite, Cindy Sheahan, for an update on her incredible journey.
