Sicilian Literature: from 1900 to the present

Discover Sicilian narrative that intensely portrays the connection with the land and human experiences, reflecting a reality at the crossroads of cultures and a rich tradition.

Sicily is not only a recurring theme within Italian literature, it also has a cultural, geographical and historical uniqueness.
There is a specific Sicilian narrative, which works not only through its distinctive characters, places and authors, but also because it expresses a genuine ‘Sicilianness’, a real passion for and relationship with the land, with an intensity that only a few writers can successfully capture.

This Sicily, a melting pot of historical experience, has straddled different cultures and can be seen as a metaphor for the entire human condition. Told through a variety of voices and seen clearly but painfully, it comprises a very strong and vital literary tradition.
