Sicily, Italy’s largest island, is noted for its dramatic coastline, charming villages and distinctive cultural traditions! Do you know how Italian is different from Sicilian? Education Director Giancarlo invited Pietro and Milena (from Sicily) to teach us 4 interesting sayings in Italian and Sicilian- the 3rd one is a very unique Sicilian practice that you don't see in many places!
