- Sicilia θηλ


-
- (or the Meridione) A term which means southern Italy, including Sicily and Sardinia. The south has a wealth of artistic treasures and beautiful countryside but economically it is less industrialized than the rest of Italy. In 1950 a special public body, the Cassa del Mezzogiorno, was set up to finance the development of the south with wide-ranging financial measures. Nowadays the Cassa del Mezzogiorno does not exist any more. However, the development of the south still remains a major problem for Italy today.

- In May 1860 Giuseppe Garibaldi's expedition to Sicily set off in two ships loaded with just over a thousand volunteers. In October, at the end of the campaign, when Garibaldi delivered the south, taken from the Bourbons, to King Vittorio Emanuele, the camicie rosse (Red shirts) had become much greater in number, but the one thousand who had set off from Quarto, near Genoa, remained the symbol of the best-known event in the Italian Risorgimento. As such they are still remembered today in the street names of many Italian towns.

- In ancient times fresh noodles were made from flour, water, and salt. It was in the Middle Ages, during the Arab rule of Sicily, that people first began to dry and store noodle dough, a process which suddenly allowed pasta to spread first throughout Italy and then all over the world. The dozens of types of pasta known today include not only spaghetti and maccheroni, but also penne, tubetti, lumaconi, conchiglie, bucatini, fusilli, capelli d'angelo, rigatoni, linguine, ziti, and vermicelli.
