Christmas Greetings This exquisite image of the Madonna and Child is from the 15th century Flemish triptych housed in the gated side chapel of San Gandolfo in the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore in Polizzi Generosa. It's on via Roma. I love this work attributed to Rogier van der Weyden. It is a hidden gem.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Sicily.

I wish you all a wonderful festive season, the very best for 2023 from us all at The Sicilian House. 

The photo is of the Christmas Eve sunset from the terrace of the house, Palazzo Notar Nicchi, Polizzi Generosa.

To be back in Rome! Three nights in Rome, mid-May: delicious seasonal food, lots of art, terrific older waiters at Nino, Giggetto, and Da Fortunato, summerish pre-dinner drinks, always absolute wonder at seeing the Pantheon and the Spanish steps once again, classic Roman street scenes, finding Margaret Fuller and some book buying at a favourite bookshop ... all hard to beat.

Christmas Light Merry Christmas everyone and all the best for 2021.

Thank you for reading our blog and enjoying things Sicily.  I look forward to bringing more stories about Sicily in 2021.

I hope you get to enjoy planning future travel to Sicily. To travel again with ease and confidence is something I look forward to as no doubt you all do.
