- 57 - Vitti na Crozza: The Most Mysterious Sicilian Folk Song
There aren’t many Sicilian songs as famous as the one we’ll discuss in this episode. The song, titled “Vitti na Crozza” (I Saw a Skull), has a history that is both enigmatic and deeply connected to a classic film: “Il Cammino della Speranza” (Path of Hope) by Pietro Germi.
Here are the lyrics we’ll be translating in this episode:
Vitti na crozza supra nu cannuni
fui curiusu e ci vosi spiari
Idda m’arrispunnì cu gran duluri
murivi senza toccu di campani
Si ni eru si ni eru li me anni
si ni eru si ni eru un sacciu unni
ora ca su rivatu ad ottant’anni
lu vivu chiama e a morti ci arrispunni
Cunzatimi cunzatimi stu lettu
ca di li vermi su manciatu tuttu
si nun lu scuntu cca lu me difettu
lu scuntu a chidda vita a sangu ruttu
Tue, 19 Nov 2024 - 09min - 56 - A fuitina (the escape) - Episode for advanced speakers
This time we talk about the "fuitina"! Maybe you heard the romantic version of it. When a couple runs away because his or her family is against the marriage.
But unfortunately, it wasn’t always like that. In Sicily until the end of the 70s, it could happen that a woman could be kidnapped by someone who wanted to marry her against her will.
In this episode, we hear the story of a kidnapping that ended badly. It happened in Sicily in the 1960s and it’s told by someone who knew the guy who wanted to get married and -that time he didn’t succeed.
The movie I recommend to know more is "La ragazza del futuro" (2022).

In this scene you'll listen to the voice of Santina - played by Giulia Andò - who is in her room, secretively reading a piece of paper that looks like a love letter. She hides it quickly and gets back to her sewing machine when her brother Sebastiano Vella - played by Salvatore Ficarra - opens the door. Both actors are native speakers from Palermo!

This scene is from the 6th episode of season 2. The Italian title is “l’albicocca”. Here the young Montalbano - played by Michele Riondino - goes to "spiarici na para di dumanni" (ask a few questions) to the fruttivendola the fruit seller, played by Rosa Canova.

Today we listen to a great scene from a 2011 movie called “Terraferma”. The movie was directed by Emanuele Crialese and takes place in the small and gorgeous island of Linosa, which is right in the middle of the Mediterranean sea, between northern Africa and Sicily. The life of a small fishing community is disrupted as more and more often the fishermen find themselves having to rescue boats of migrants in distress. But for these men it is dangerous to save these people's lives because - according to the Italian law - they risk being accused of helping illegal immigration and having their boats confiscated.
In this scene a group of fishermen get together to decide what to do. You will hear multiple voices of native Sicilian speakers. Among them Mimmo Cuticchio, Beppe Fiorello and Nino Bellomo.

Maybe you watched the movies or read the books by JK Rowling. Ever heard of Cademia Siciliana? It’s an association born to protect the Sicilian language. Gaetano Mazza had the idea to translate a bit of the 1st book, the “Philosopher’s stone” from English to Sicilianu. So I decided i’ll read it for you guys. This will be a 2 episodes job. Then we'll be back to movies scenes.

In the #Godfather Part II there’s a great care of the Sicilian language. Only in one scene, in my opinion, the English subtitles don't match with what's being said in Sicilian.

Sat, 18 Feb 2023 - 13min - 28 - Mi canusci a mia? (Do you know me?) - Placido Rizzotto, 2000
Happy 2023 to everyone!
In this episode we go to Corleone, but it’s not the fictional Corleone we saw in the Godfather, this is the real story of Placido Rizzotto, a trade union leader murdered by the mafia - the real mafia - in 1948. The movie "Placido Rizzotto", directed in 2000 by Pasquale Scimeca, says a lot about what life was like in Sicily in the late ‘40s specially for the peasant workers.
World war 2 has just ended. Placido left the Italian army in northern Italy to join the resistance against the nazis and the fascists and just came back to his hometown Corleone. We’ll hear the voices of Placido, played by Marcello Mazzarella and young Saro, the son of the shepherd - who existed in real life too - played by Giuseppe Gennusa.

The movie in this episode is “due amici” (two friends), directed in 2002 by Spiro Scimone and Francesco Sframeli, from #Messina, #Sicily.
The voices you’ll hear in this dialogue are the two main characters on their way for a special delivery. Nunzio is in love with a girl and his friend Pino is walking with him to the shop where she works. Nunzio is holding a big bouquet of roses. He’s quite nervous and is asking his friend for advice.
