| A God's smile venerated by the Mediterranean Sea,
this is Sicily. |
| |
| An ancient island, full of contradictions, but
joined together by the sacred bond of family and work. |
| |
| In this divine and terrible dimension, every morning
the seamen face the uncertainty of the waves to celebrate the
custom of fishing. |
| |
| "Grandad Battista" has a good knowledge
of the harshness of the sea, which gives its best friuts only
to those who, with respectful sacrifice, face it with daily resolution. |
| |
| More than half a century of plentyful experience,
learnt by those willing to bequeath it to their most beloved.
|
| |
| His sons have well understood their father's job
and they have been carrying it on, full of ancient respect for
the old customs of fish processing and packaging. |
| |
| As a Sicilian man involved in social work I look
with deep satisfaction at that Sicily which works, produces and
asserts itself abroad, creating new jobs and real chances for
an honest and industrious life, as our people's oldest traditions
tell. |
