Episode 89:Total Sicily Podcast

About this episode

This episode explores the connection between Tuscany and Sicily, featuring discussions on heritage and travel.

So for this episode of the Total Tuscany Podcast, we are changing the name to the Total Sicily Podcast. Our fascination with Sicily started several episodes ago when Pat began the process of getting his Italian citizenship. After that, Omaha, Nebraska, Mayor Jean Stothert joined us to discuss her trip to Tuscany, which also included a stop in Carlentinni, Sicily, as part of a Sister City program. Pat has developed a friendship with a professional guide, Eleonora Formica. Eleonora has become a trusted advisor for families in America to reconnect with their heritage. She's also an expert tour guide of Sicily and a sommelier and can recommend the finest Sicilian wine for any pallet. Eleonaor joins us on this episode to help us expand our horizons on the Total Tuscany and Total Sicily podcast.
