An American in Sicily: 101 Perceptions and Observations of Sicily Captured through the Prism of an American

What happens when a Sicilian-American returns to the land of his ancestors—not for a vacation, but to live, work, and truly immerse himself in the rhythms of Sicilian life? In An American in Sicily, Joe Pizzino invites readers on a delightful and often hilarious journey through the sun-drenched streets, quirky customs, and endearing contradictions of Sicily, all seen through the eyes of an American who’s spent over three decades navigating its cultural maze.

With warmth, wit, and a keen eye for the absurd, Pizzino shares 101 bite-sized reflections that capture the essence of Sicilian life—from the art of double-parking and the mystery of air conditioner aversion to the deep reverence for family lineage and the ever-changing moods of the Mediterranean weather. Each chapter stands alone, making it easy to dip in and out, whether you're curled up on the couch or sipping espresso at a café.

Whether you have Sicilian roots, a love for Italy, or simply enjoy stories that celebrate the beauty and humor of cultural differences, this book offers a window into a world where tradition and modernity collide in the most charming ways.
