With its physical beauty and kaleidoscopic cultural background, Sicily has long been a source of inspiration for filmmakers. Twelve new essays by international scholars--and additional writings from directors Roberta Torre, Giovanna Taviani, and Costanza Quatriglio--seek to offset the near-absence of scholarship focusing on the relationship between the Mediterranean island and cinema. Touching on class relations, immigration, gender and poverty, the essays examine how Sicily is depicted in fiction, satire and documentaries. Situated between North and South, East and West, innovation and tradition, authenticity and displacement, Sicily acts as a microcosm of the world, a place to explore numerous narratives and develop intercultural dialogue. It is also the center of cinematographic discussions and events such as the Taormina Film Festival and the SalinaDocFest. The volume presents Sicily almost as a character and creator in its own right.

Le siciliane

Un carattere comune alle donne della più grande isola del Mediterraneo è la determinazione e capacità di reinventare il proprio destino. A testimoniarlo sono le tante storie raccontate in questo libro. Savatteri rompe l'immaginario stantio della donna siciliana scoprendo le vite di Elvira Sellerio e Franca Viola, sino alle grandi combattenti socialiste di Piana degli Albanesi. Le donne esemplari e ribelli di Savatteri diventano una bussola per infrangere l'archetipo della narrazione e ripensare l'isola intera. Francesco Musolino, "Gazzetta del Sud" «Quando arrivai a Palermo per iscrivermi all'università, mi accorsi a pelle che Palermo era 'fimmina'. Non solo per la bellezza delle sue ragazze dagli sguardi pirateschi, ma anche per la presenza ad ogni angolo del centro storico di numerose edicole votive dedicate a santa Rosalia, la Santuzza. Palermo era 'fimmina' nella sua carnale decadenza. Odorava di fiori tropicali e di monnezza. Odorava di umidità nelle scale di palazzi aristocratici ormai in sfacelo, e odorava di mistero dietro i portoni che introducevano a chiostri carichi di gelsomini e di rose».

After Laughing Comes Cryimg

The material in this book was collected over a number of years while searching for my Sicilian roots. It is a fictionized account of Sicilian farmers trying to deal with the unification and poor conditions in a small town in Sicily, finally deciding to immigrate to New Orleans to work on the plantations. The book includes a bibliography of the sources on which the story is based.
