Sicilians explained to tourists.

Who are the Sicilians? How do they live, how do they interact, how do they treat foreigners? If someone wanted to give a scientific and exhaustive answer, they should take into account the hundreds of volumes piled up over the centuries; if they should answer briefly, they would risk just recalling a few common jokes and a lot of clichés. So I tried a difficult middle way between a scholarly speech and an occasional conversation in an airport. So this book, even with an easy and sometimes funny language, provides some useful information about Sicilians as they were and moreover as they are now.
