I know it as "Pasta alla Norma", a #Sicilian dish

#PastaAllaNorma
#Pasta #Sicily

@dansup @pixelfed Great idea! There are other languages "fading out", like #Sicilian (it's a language, not an Italian dialect).

A #Sicilian politician and a police officer are under #HouseArrest over a plot to sell to the press "top-secret" mafia documents in an attempt to make a "scoop".

Police say #GiorgioRandazzo reached out to #paparazzi king #FabrizioCorona to sell him classified documents about notorious #mafia #godfather #MatteoMessinaDenaro

Happy National Cannoli Day!

June 16th is #Cannoli Day, honoring a classic #Italian #pastry that originated in the South of #Italy, on the island of #Sicily. Most cannoli consist of tube-shaped shells of deep-fried pastry dough filled with a sweet and creamy mixture made from #ricotta #cheese. Regarding the shells, they can be either store-bought or made from scratch with flour, sugar, butter, egg, and wine. Anyhow, they are best when crunchy!

La #Regione, le battaglie per l’autonomia, il potere clientelare

Nel #1962 concluse la sua carriera nel sindacato, dove aveva ricoperto la carica di segretario regionale della #CGIL, per ritornare al lavoro di partito e assumere la responsabilità di segretario del PCI siciliano, carica che mantenne sino al #1967. Candidato all’Assemblea Regionale #Siciliana alle elezioni del #1963, venne eletto e restò in carica per due legislature

@basultomex @linguistics @languagelovers

Similar for #Sicilian language by the way for the same reasons: arabs living there for long time and enriching the culture including the language.

(Some expressions of #arabic origin are imported themselves though from other languages like #persian or #sanskrit for example. Like the expression śárkarā -> azúcar: sugar).
