Gee, I got so wrapped up in food I almost forgot! Cinzia and Antonio also have a small shop in town where their beautiful ceramics are displayed. I brought home incredible red ancient Greek patterns that Antonio told me were patterned after Etna and it's lava fireworks display and lava flows.
Of course the Greeks had a profound influence on Sicily - read Thucydides if you don't believe me.
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)?
