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)?

Corleone, Albanians in Sicilian history, and travel in Sicily
In Book #3, the de Rogerio family has fled to Corleone to the estate of Leo de Iannacio, away from the violence and siege of Palermo during the War of the Sicilian Vespers.
this area is home to a great deal of agriculture, particularly lemons and oranges, as well as melons, eggplant, cabbage, pistachios and almonds.
Check out the link above to see some beautiful pictures of Corleone, where I will be visiting to give authenticity to the third book in the Vespers Trilogy.
