that’s me…Daniela Riedlova

Maria Lina Bommarito

Hello everyone! Since I love Sicily and I love to write…here I am!
I was born in the States but I have been living on this beautiful island for many, many years.
I all happened when together with my family I came to Sicily for the first time, visiting relatives. It was love at first sight! I just couldn’t take my eyes off those mountains, so high and intimidating but spectacular! And when I saw the sea…no words could describe that emotion.
I must say that even now, after many years, the sight of the sea still enhances me and I can’t pass near it without stopping, taking a deep breath and saying “How beautiful! I lucky I am to live here!”.
Another passion of mine is cooking, Sicilian style and wine of course!

Evelin Costa

My name is Evelin Costa and I was born in Palermo in 1976. I studied Philosophy, my main passions are writing and painting. I love culture, I’m interested in the world in all its diversity and variety, but at the same time, the knowledge of the popular traditions of Sicily: its customs, festivals and especially the kitchen, because at its core is the philosophy of harmony between opposites and the encounter between different cultures.
I have managed for eight years a bed and breakfast that has given me the opportunity to interact with people from all over the world, as a result I am dedicated to the divulgation of my knowledge about Sicily through my blogs. At the same time I never left out the painting (mostly portraits). Another passion of mine are cats whose friendship I could not ever give up.

Lydia Bonini

My name is Lydia Bonini and I was born and raised in Hertfordshire, England, and lived there until I was 22. At this time I decided to change my life and with that, I moved to Rome and after to Sicily.The Sicilians are the most open, welcoming, free-spirited Italians I have ever met. They listen, they observe, they ask when they don’t understand, they are inquisitive, they are honest, they are giving. So when I was asked to help translate some articles in our BLOG, I wanted nothing more than to help.
