      300 years of arabs doesnt make sicily arab. The greeks were in sicily and south italy from antiquity till 1400 ad aka the middle ages. They are propably greeks not arabs. South italians cluster with greeks in dna tests not with arabs.

    I firmly believe that I’m Sicilian, not Italian. We have a different culture and blood, as showed in the video, on top of that we struggle with racism from Italian people, especially in the northern part. We have our own language and history and we’re the reason Italy flourished, we were robbed of our independence and resources and we’re still left behind to this day. Italian politicians blatantly hate us and they’re the reason we face so many issues. Italy is just another country that colonized us and we should treat it as such, not as if it’s part of our identity. Anyway, I really enjoyed the video! You did a great job 👍🤟

      @@cristianobrogna1225 compa'... la Sicilia per influenze culturali si potrebbe dividere in due parti, cioè parte occidentale di cultura prevalentemente maghrebina e quella orientale prevalentemente ellenica, ma è indubbio che in tutta l'isola l'influenza culturale araba è parecchia.
      Esempi: 'u cùscusu (piatto tipico maghrebino e siciliano, ma un particolare trapanese e palermitano), le maioliche siciliane (tipico piastrellamento maghrebino e siciliano), 'u cantu ri carretteri (canto tipico arabo e che adottiamo anche noi, e che è arrivato pure fino a Napoli con il Regno delle Due Sicilie e che ad oggi è utilizzato nel neomelodico), il tipico addobbo dei cavalli dei carretteri e che anch'esso tipico maghrebino, i babbaluci cu sucu (le lumache/chiocciole al sugo e che vengono chiamate così per via della forma, cioè simile alle scarpe arabe, le "babush"), la cassata (termine che deriva da "qas'at", cioè bacinella in arabo e che non sarebbe altro che la forma per fare il dolce), le arancine (i berberi appallottolano il riso con la carne di agnello, e le arancine derivano da questa usanza), il taratatà (festività della Sicilia occidentale, particolarmente sentita ad Agrigento, nella quale si vestono abiti tipicamente arabi con scimitarre annesse), 'u zubbibbu (vino risalente sin dal periodo arabo e che prende il nome da "zabib", cioè uvetta in arabo), 'a giuggiulena che noi mettiamo ovunque (molto usata anche nel Maghreb e derivante dal termine tunsi "juljulan"), la pasta di mandorle che è di derivazione araba, i nominativi delle vie nel centro di Palermo in arabo ed ebreo, oltre che in italiano (non in greco o spagnolo), etc; etc.
      Potrei stare qui un giorno intero ad elencarti le cose di origine araba che fanno parte della cultura siciliana.

      @@ianmarchese402 ci sono molti elementi della cultura araba che rimangono ancora oggi. A parte che la tua divisione non ha senso, perché nel momento in cui sono arrivati gli arabi la Sicilia era unita e in mano romana da quasi 1000 anni. E dopo gli arabi è stata unita per altri 1000.
      Per quanto ci siano diverse parole e elementi culturali arabi che risuonano ancora oggi, i rituali religiosi sono quasi tutti di ispirazione cattolica spagnola. Le nostre leggi, la nostra letteratura e la nostra lingua vengono da Roma e dalla Grecia. I nostri monumenti sono principalmente Greci, Romani, borbonici.
      Mi sembrano elementi un attimino più importanti dei babbaluci e degli arancini, abbi pazienza.
      Non voglio assolutamente sminuire l’importanza della cultura araba che ha arricchito la nostra cultura, ma dire che la Sicilia occidentale sia un’area di cultura magrebina è semplicemente una minchiata

      San Diego weather is a bit cool and mild in the summer to be typical Mediterranean weather. I think inland California is more typical of what Mediterranean weather is. Think Central Valley CA, Paso Robles, inland Ventura County, northern Napa Valley, even Temecula. Typical weather in those areas is near or above 100 degree hot and dry summer days while somewhat cooling off in the evenings to 60's and low 70's. No snow in the winter but can definitely get near or below freezing overnight on the coldest winter days but usually warming up in the 50s and perhaps 60s during the day. After traveling to southern Spain, Italy, and the south of France, both in winter and summer that's what Mediterranean weather is.

So the Top 3 politicians in all of Italy are Sicilian. Tell them they aren't Italians. Haha. From there you can go on and on to other countless Sicilians.

    What the title says and some people are very ignorant, we are all Italian and we are in Italy, this is the variety of each region and richness of our amazing country!! 🇮🇹❤️

      Exactly, Sicily is one of many regions equally part of the modern Italian republic. How is it not Italy? Unfortunately, many of these statements are made by multi-generational Americans of Italian descent that know very little of Italian history.

      I'll just say painting Sicilians as "Arab" by that weird tour guide makes no sense, considering their culture isn't Semitic nor is their DNA. They're just loud Europeans.
