: a journey through history, , culture, and devotion 🌍💙

😍Good morning, dear friends,
On Thursday, November 28th, I had the immense honor of recounting one of the most moving and profound stories of our town: the tale of the who, between the 19th and 20th centuries, left everything they knew to embark on a into the unknown. With hearts full of and unshakable faith, hundreds of men and women departed from our familiar streets, leaving behind their homes, loved ones, and even their language, in search of a better future in the Americas, particularly in the and 🇺🇸🇨🇦

🥹Their journey was not only geographical but deeply human: a path of , challenges, and courage. Yet, even in distant lands, they never forgot their true home. They preserved their , culture, and the faith that kept them deeply connected to Termini, passing down an enduring love for their roots to future generations.

✏️During the presentation, I had the privilege of narrating their incredible stories: the and neighborhoods they settled in, the they mastered, and the hardships they overcame with resilience. I also spoke of the they carried across the ocean, keeping alive the tradition of the , which has united our community for over 400 years!

🤓This narrative came to life through personal anecdotes, names, and photos shared by many . Every detail and memory was a precious gift that allowed me to honor the legacy of these extraordinary individuals. A heartfelt thanks to Scott Mascari, Laura Cabaness Johnson and Andrea Shelton , who made it possible to share these stories and work tirelessly to keep the connection alive among Termitani worldwide.

🇪🇺The presentation was part of an + conference, a cultural exchange between the Hamrun Band from Malta Għaqda Mużikali Immakulata Kunċizzjoni Ħamrun - A.D. 1979 and Termini Imerese’s band Banda Musicale di Termini Imerese, both united by their devotion to the Immaculate Conception 🙏🏻
A special moment was the reception in the magnificent , where, beneath frescoes depicting our city’s history, the mayor Maria Terranova welcomed us warmly, and Roberto Tedesco moved us with his heartfelt accounts.

🇲🇹🎁Tangible connections were also made: I had the pleasure of gifting the delegation handcrafted ceramic souvenirs, lovingly made and dedicated to our beloved Termini, which I sell daily in my family’s shop.

✨It was a day rich in —an encounter of memory and hope, history and devotion. I hope Termini can continue to experience such meaningful moments that unite past, present, and future, and I’m proud to contribute in my small way to our and traditions through my project and the work of the many associations that make our territory unique, like our Banda Musicale.

📹 PS: Due to the interest and requests, I’ll soon publish a of my presentation, so you can relive it or discover it for the first time. Stay tuned!

Thank you for your support and trust, always.
With love,

💙 Celebrating the : a tradition of over 400 years in Termini Imerese 💙

🥰For centuries, the people of Termini Imerese have shown unwavering devotion to the Immaculate Conception, and this year’s celebrations are already in full swing! Yesterday, the statue of the Madonna "of the fishermen", one of three magnificent dedicated to the Immaculate Conception, was ceremonially removed from its chapel where it is kept throughout the year.

😯Centuries ago, the city’s three main social groups—farmers, fishermen, and the bourgeoisie—commissioned separate statues to honor the Madonna in their respective . Each statue, crafted in different periods by skilled artisans, represents a unique part of Termini’s heritage:

🌾The farmers’ statue is located at Porta Palermo and was moved from its chapel on November 27th.
🐟The fishermen’s statue, featured here, is kept in its own chapel until its first procession, which began yesterday with a joyful tour of the neighborhood.
✨The bourgeoisie’s statue is displayed in Piazza Duomo and was also moved today.

🙏🏻Although these social distinctions no longer exist, the remain, as do these three stunning statues that will be at the heart of three grand processions on December 8th, held at different times throughout the day.

🥹Yesterday’s festivities included the fishermen’s Madonna being paraded through the neighborhood, accompanied by music, chants, and the devotion of countless followers, ending at the Church of Consolation. From there, she will embark on a spectacular nighttime procession at 3:30 AM on December 8th.

🎵🇲🇹💙🇮🇹This year’s events were made even more special by the participation of the Hamrun Band from Għaqda Mużikali Immakulata Kunċizzjoni Ħamrun - A.D. 1979, joining Termini’s musicians Banda Musicale di Termini Imerese in a cultural exchange celebrating the Immaculate Conception.
