Most of the books of Sicilian proverbs I have give them in italian as well. Very interesting, MaryRose. I'm afraid I can't help at the moment as I just don't have time. I'll reread Villette, though.Welshcakes Limoncellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209759237794290941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-8989300619741784832010-05-18T07:03:35.937+02:002010-05-18T07:03:35.937+02:00Sorry this isn't a comment.

I'm working on the conclusion of a book I've spent two and a half years writing on Sicily, called, 'A captive land: Sicily and its unfinished business.' I've been trying to find out if Bruno Piazzese got his disco up again in Siracusa. It was torched twice by the mafia and the Ministry of Justice asked him to restore it for a third time, but with government funding. The construction was at an end because of a dispute over non-payment of contractors and I would like to know if the matter was ever resolved and the disco completed. I stayed in Sicily for ten months while I was mulling over the book. Congratulations on your relocation. Have you ever read Charlotte Bronte's Villette. Her character, Lucy, was a language teacher too but relocated in France. Fabulous book. You should have a look at it. It may inspire you. Best wishes.
