The experience
An extension of the itinerary beyond the mainland coast: on the island in the heart of the Sicilian Channel, fishing is still a family trade handed down from father to son, and fish couscous tells the same Arab-Mediterranean blend seen in Mazara. The new document extends the story to capers, bush-trained vines, dammusi and volcanic phenomena, reading the island as a land shaped by wind and fire.
