Hey, I just got back from the Historical Novel Society conference in Denver and ran into my old friend, Sandy, whose blog you need to visit. Check out the colorful Sicilian carts at Grant's Farm that she talks about - great pictures too - here's the link - www.theitaliansouth.com and see Sicily in Missouri.
And speaking of the Historical Novel Society and Sicily, you might want to check out Dan Armstrong's book called The Siege of Syracuse, featuring Archimede's slave, Timon Leonidas. Great read!
Find out and talk about medieval history, Sicily and the Mediterranean during the Crusades, food and culture, what did medieval people eat and drink (our sleuth is a tavern owner, after all!!) and what about money and trade? Spices and what about the streets of a medieval town after dark? And what about the women in medieval Sicily? What did they wear, eat, drink and how did they get married (or not)?
