Street Food - Palermo - 5 Dec 08 - Part 2

Sicily has stood as a crossroads for traffic and trade throughout the ages - inhabited by Phoenicians, Romans, Goths, Normans and Arabs among others. Today it is a transit point for would-be immigrants coming from the south. Sicily's unique geography and history is reflected in the variety of dishes present on the streets of the capital, Palermo.

You know talk about the Mafia, the Sicilian Mafia is not only but also, nature, culture and art. Sicily was fabulous because it is rich in many things and not just mafia, Read carefully before speaking. then I do not understand the connection between the Mafia and the street food. Palermo is fantastic!

i cant see the connection btw food and mafia all the time that it comes to italy the topic of the mafia always comes up.. what a shame,mafia is a very small thing in italy!!!!!!

@jius100 d`accordo!

@SkaCore9 This just shows the power of the news media's stereotypical influence.

La Ignorancia es atrevida.....Sicilia no es Mafia, la mafia esta en todo el mundo y en casi todos los sectores incluso en aquellos que se dicen ser legales.

[jius100]

video di merda, la sicilia non è criminalità! ! ! la sicilia è panelle, arancine, cassate, cannoli, sole mare e tante altre belle cose.

se parlo degli usa non credo che tutti facciano parte del kkk, se parlo dei paesi arabi non credo ci sia solo di parlare su al qaeda, se parlo della germania non credo che la gente sia ancora nazista, PARLATE DELLA SICILIA PER QUELLO CHE è, DELLE MILLE BELLEZZE E NON DELLE SOLITE 4 STRONZATE

Yes...sicilian mafia.... but it's more correct to talk about italian mafia, 'cause the italian state don't do anything to change and to delete it. In Sicily We are tired, very very tired to listen always the same argument about us.... for the stranger it's like if the mafia is the only a folkloristic phenomen of Sicily, surely the most important. But things are not on this way, because mafia isn't only in Sicily but in the entire Italy.
