Hey! I know that a chick. You know her, too. It’s ME, the artist formerly known as Nancy Richy. Knew I couldn’t fool ya!
Well, it’s never too late to make some changes in life, teach an old dog new tricks, give the house a fresh coat of paint, etc etc.
So, may I introduce to you the scribe you’ve known for all these years – The Sicilian Storyteller! I’ll make you an offer you can’t refuse AND tell you a story at the same time! LOL!!
My website hasn’t changed; only my penname has been altered. It’s your same old friend with a new handle; don’t be afraid to turn that handle and come inside. I don’t bite – well, only those I like. 💋
Let’s get real: I’m proud of my heritage and the fact that I’m a writer; it’s who I am and what I do so why not go with it?!
Hello, all my friends! See you later! Ciau, tutti amichi! Ni sintemu doppo! 🙋🏼♀️

Loving reading the comments in Sicilian. Having first learnt my shaky Italian in Rome, then Florence, I can just about decipher them!
What a fabulous name change. And if I’m not mistaken, it works better in English than in the Italian translation? xx

Thanks for. your comments, Gwen! I thought about going with Lu Narratore Sicilianu … for about 5 seconds. It’s quite a mouthful!
My parents spoke pure Italian as well as Sicilian and they would cross over very easily. I love the Italian language but Sicilian is intriguing – an interesting conglomeration of other languages which should come as no surprise considering Sicily was invaded by everyone at some point in time!
If you listen to the two songs I posted previously, you’ll see that Lou Monte’s Calabrese dialect sounds a lot like Sicilian, which is the language spoken in southern Calabria. Ciau, u mo amicu australianu!

I just saw where Sicily and the Isle of Man are related somehow. Both have that triskelion on their flag.

You’re right, John! Maybe some day I’ll write a little something about the Sicilian flag and the significance of the three legs, the three ears of wheat and the head of Medusa. I’m sure I’ll learn something new, too!

It may seem like a small thing but my father always reminded us that we are Sicilian, not Italian. There is a difference and I’m extremely proud of my Sicilian heritage. Glad you think it’s awesome; I do too!
