On 13 December, the small island of Ortigia does something no other Italian city quite matches. A silver statue of Saint Lucy leaves the cathedral, thousands of people follow it through the dark, and many Syracusans give up bread and pasta for the day. This is the...

On the western slopes of Mount Etna, in a landscape of black lava and pale grey orchards, grows one of the most prized ingredients in the world. The Bronte pistachio is so treasured that Sicilians call it the "green gold". A single taste explains why. Deeper in...
