The above photo is the flag of Silicy . Domenico Dolce is borned in Sicily which is an autonomous region of italy . Sicily is also importance for the archeological and ancient sities like Necropolis of Pantalica and Valley of the Temples . Here I show some of the photos of Sicily and in my opinion , Sicily is very beautiful . In 01 , 02 , 08 Fall RTW , Dloce & Gabbana use the feeling of " Country " which may inspired by Sicily !
Sicilian lifestyle and folklore
The family is at the heart of Sicilian culture as it has always been for generations. Family members often live close together, sometimes in the same housing complex, and sons and daughters usually remain at home with their parents until they marry, which tends to occur later than in previous decades. Couples today have fewer children than before , yet babies and children are much revered in Sicilian culture and almost always accompany their parents to social events .
Sicilian weddings are lavish , expensive , and traditional . They are normally held in church. The Catholic church is an important feature in Sicilian life . Almost all public places are adorned with crucifixes upon their walls , and most Sicilian homes contain pictures of saints , statues , and other relics . Each town and city has its own patron saint , and the feast days are marked by gaudy processions through the streets with marching bands and displays of fireworks .
Sicilian religious festivals also include the presepe vivente (animated crib) , which takes place at Christmastime . Deftly combining religion and folklore , it is a constructed mock 19th century Sicilian village , complete with a nativity scene , and has people of all ages dressed in the costumes of the period , some impersonating the Holy Family , and others working as artisans of their particular assigned trade . It is normally concluded on Ephihany , often highlighted by the arrival of the magi on horseback .
Sicilians also enjoy outdoor festivals , held in the local square or piazza where live music and dancing are performed on stage , and food fairs or sagras are set up in booths lining the square . These offer various local specialties , as well as typical Sicilian food . Normally these events are concluded with fireworks . The most important laic event in Sicily is the carnival . Famous carnivals are in Misterbiano , Regalbuto and Sciacca etc .
