I go back and, looking carefully, I am amazed, incredulous for that decidedly out of tune detail. I go back again and stop the image … what I saw is really true! In front of a riot of love for Sicily, where everything, every detail, every glance, every corner screams in Sicilian and Sicilian, a packet of pasta comes out, in the foreground, “Napoletana”, Di Martino di Gragnano pasta. The package is actually misleading, there are all our colors, beautiful and shiny, but what about … it has nothing Sicilian. For heaven’s sake, nothing against the company that has certainly worked a lot on an attractive and elegant packaging, but has no connection with our territory and certainly no Sicilian wheat grain. Disappointed and embittered I think that this “fall in style” to our beloved designers, especially Dolce, we can forgive, considering how much love they have for their land; perhaps it is an escaped detail or a venial advertising sin. We will wait for the next parade, perhaps done in a beautiful wheat field, with a table full of cheering models who eat a nice plate of baked anelletti as only we know how to do, choosing among our Sicilian excellences that worthily represent our beautiful territory.
