spur of moment we got invited into an elderly coupleโs home tn in sicily for homemade lemoncello and chocolate, they live in a cave home built during middle ages ๐
we talked for 2 hrs about life in sicily, food/wine ofc lol, other towns to check out in the region, and the history of the area - sicily had a massive earthquake on the southeast side that basically turned modica and many towns to rubble in 1693 - some towns lost 20-60% of their population from it, modica being one of them
when they rebuilt this region, it was in gorgeous baroque style architecture, which is what makes modica and surrounding towns in the val di noto unesco sights
learned about local rivalries in modica that lasted centuries, bc there were 2 saints, one at top of the hill one at bottom of hill. also learned the main street separating the homes on each side of the valley was a river just a century ago
fascinating convo w ppl we just met, one of my absolute fav things about living nomadically is hearing pplโs stories ๐ซถ 76 replies
