    How does one define a people? If we presume to "define" any culture, the pages linked here are reliable points of reference for Sicily's.
     Among this site's "gateway pages" are some dedicated to history, literature, the arts, food & wine and even the Sicilian identity. The beauty lies in the fact that so many things overlap. Sicilian culture is "multi-disciplinary" almost by definition. Sure, you can easily search this site to find what interests you, but we know it's possible to lose your way, so we hope that these pages, with their numerous links, will be helpful in "organizing" your thoughts.
    Not that it should be an academic exercise (though we have a page for students). While this information may seem especially useful if you're visiting Sicily or seriously studying our island, we suggest that the culture transcends the place, and that Sicilian culture has had a global influence - often in subtle ways. Benvenuti in Sicilia!
