How much Sicilianu is spoken in the movie "Nuovo Cinema Paradiso" (1988)? In this episode we'll find it and translate it! Spoiler alert! Don't listen to this if you haven't watched this movie yet! We’ll focus mostly on the voices of Alfredo, played by Philippe Noiret - but dubbed by Vittorio di Prima - and Leo Gullotta.

This scene comes from the movie “Nuovomondo” (The golden door), directed in 2006 by Emanuele Crialese. It follows a sicilian family on its journey to America. In this scene Lucy, a mysterious woman traveling on the same boat with them, asks Salvatore to marry her.

Today we listen to a great scene from a 2011 movie called “Terraferma”. The movie was directed by Emanuele Crialese and takes place in the small and gorgeous island of Linosa, which is right in the middle of the Mediterranean sea, between northern Africa and Sicily. The life of a small fishing community is disrupted as more and more often the fishermen find themselves having to rescue boats of migrants in distress. But for these men it is dangerous to save these people's lives because - according to the Italian law - they risk being accused of helping illegal immigration and having their boats confiscated.

In this scene a group of fishermen get together to decide what to do. You will hear multiple voices of native Sicilian speakers. Among them Mimmo Cuticchio, Beppe Fiorello and Nino Bellomo.

In this episode we check a 2019 movie by Paolo Licata. The title is “Picciridda”, the English title is “Alone with her dreams”, and it takes place on the beautiful island of Favignana. Have you ever tasted n'ossu i mortu? It's a typical Sicilian Halloween sweet!

In this episode we listen to one of the most successful Italian TV series ever made. It takes place in Sicily and  is based on the books by Andrea Camilleri. I’m talking about Inspector Montalbano.

In this episode we learn about a sicilian tradition. U strattu! Featuring me mamma!
