I have family living in Bagheria, Sicily (about 12 Kilometers from Palermo) and can be a source of useful information about modern Palermo and the area immediately surrounding it, including its ever changing restoration projects. For example the Ziza, a Norman summer palace built on Arab Architectural principles, was finally restored about three years ago.
Is there a group leader of the Sicily Project? With three thousand five hundred years of history, there is a lot to cover. I am most familiar with the Sicilian Vespers (and have contributed to that Wikipedia page)and have done a lot of research about Sicily and Mediteranean Politics of the late 13th Century. I am a member of Arba Sicula, a Sicilian-American cultural organization located at St. John's University in NYC. I speak some Italian, but not much Sicilian. Is anyone interested in joining me to improve the "Vespers" Wikipedia entry?13thcentury (talk) 02:51, 14 July 2009 (UTC)Joseph E. Caiazzo, J.D.
