BACK in Corleone - see photo from last week.
Sicily has enough history to make your head spin. If you were a family of farmers in the 8th century BC handing your farm down from one generation to the next, your family would have experienced rule from the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Moors, Vikings, Normans, Spaniards, Bourbons, Italians, and -oh - the Mafia. Every hundred or so years, you’d have to get used to a new ruling class, new laws, new taxes, and a new way of doing things. Not to mention in that time, your beloved island’s local volcano would’ve erupted nearly 200 times. All that might make you or I want to throw up our arms and say oh be damned and give up.
Luckily, Sicilians do it better .
They’ve developed a coping mechanism in the form of a word: “futtitinni”.
As we all continue through life, the government will change in ways you might not like, it’ll rain too much ( in the UK ! ) or too little ( in Sicily ) taxes will be raised and dammit, chances are that the volcano is gonna erupt again ( in Sicily but less likely in Clitheroe ) but all you have to do is focus on what’s most important: family, good friends, good food, and of course wine. Don’t let the inconsequential uncontrollable parts of life get you down. Futtitinni: take it easy and focus on what’s most important.
