IL ‘68 CULTURA E SAPORI..."THE '68 CULTURE AND FLAVORS ... Cultural Association " This cultural association arranged a tour of the ruins of Poggioreale, as well as, a tasting of local foods. The group included myself and 7 family members from the United States and members of my family that live near Poggioreale. For 6 of my family members this was the first trip to Sicily. The members of Il ’68 arrived at the meeting point in their vintage Fiat and we followed them to the ruins. An architect and another guide led us on a tour of the ruins – so informative and professionally presented. Then we were delighted to enjoy a tasting of local food with family members under a pavilion very near the entrance to the ruins. After the tasting we were given more information on the devastating earthquake of 1968. This earthquake wreaked havoc on the Belice Valley – the home of my ancestors. Il ’68 presented us with souvenir plaques with various images of our ancestral home, Salaparuta – located very near the ruins for Poggioreale. If you are planning a visit to this area I would highly recommend this cultural association to provide a slice of Sicily that you will always remember. Thank you for making a wonderful day for my family.
