mountain; and to the Costa family for letting Paolo Noce exist. To Melo, Liviana,

Silvana and Alessandra for letting me make Il Gambero my office the week the
internet died; to Giorgia, Katerina, Elena and Cristiana for nine summers in the piazza;
and to Pina for moral support, sunset chasing and making silicone jellyfish. Elsewhere
in Sicily, thanks to Franco Masera for showing me the footpaths of Filicudi; to
Michele Gallo for an amazing tour of Porto Empedocle; to Antonio Sarnari and the
artists of Il Gruppo di Scicli for an unforgettable weekend; to the Missione Amici dei

Santi Angeli for an extraordinary opportunity; and to Sarah Milthorpe, Hannah
Milthorpe and Seby and Silvia at Blu in Ortigia for aperitivi, moral support and trips
to the beach and Lidl. Most of all to Ismene, Juno and Giovanni.
