I started my trip to Sicily by visiting my relatives in Rochester...They all listened to my itinerary with poignant enthusiasm. Palermo, Girgenti, Porto Empedocle, Realmonte- the names were like music to them.These were the towns were most of them had spent their childhood and where some of their closest relatives still lived. They looked at the map of Sicily and joked about some of the smaller towns where the population was so small that chickens and goats were said to be included in the count to make the total more impressive.

Arba Sicula
Arba Sicula is a non-profit international organization that promotes the language and culture of Sicily.

The great exodus from Sicily began soon after the unification of Italy and continued after WWI and WWII. At least 40% of the Sicilian population left their homes and emigrated abroad. Most of these people came from far off- villages and towns which, even today, are difficult to locate on the map. The team of Sicilytravel.net is gathering all the information available on these places of origin in Sicily. Your contribution is more than welcome.
