Arancini are synonymous with "Sicily" and with them they bring culture, gastronomy and refer to traditions timeless cultural.
The scent of the arancino, and the skill with which it is prepared, is also synonymous with Rosolini, where the "arancino" reigns undisputed.
The arancini
The arancini bring a dowry and pass on to Rosolini, a festival, which is a riot of smells; that swarm fragrant through the streets. Rosolini is located in the province of Syracuse, very ancient land, which he honors every year the "king" of the Sicilian table. This celebration takes place from 13 to 18 August, with a marathon that sees every declination of Sicilian arancini. This year the ninth edition of the event will take place.
It is one of the most anticipated events of the summer, which from year to year is enriches and attracts more and more gourmets. Many are the tourists who take the opportunity to visit the beautiful Rosolini, a feudal village, an ancient Syracusan colony. The ancient vestiges of the ancient "Rus Elinorun", dating back to the century. VII BC, known as “City of the Carob”, It has a lot to tell. Ancient walls and footprints dating back to the mid-XNUMXth century, linked to the marriage between Antonio Platamone and Margherita De Podio.
Festival of Rosolini
Margherita brought the Cugni d'Incumbao fiefdom, better known as Li Salini, as a dowry. Today tourists who go to the arancino festival can also visit a beautiful archaeological site, at “Stafenna”, a fascinating complex of paleochristian hypogea. It is possible to be overwhelmed by the smells of the Mediterranean scrub, in di Cava Pirainito, where a small stream creates spectacular waterfalls.
All Rosolini is surrounded by the predominantly colored countryside cultivation of citrus, almond, olive and carob trees. But once again, as has been the case for almost a decade, the highlight of the Rosolinese summer is the festival of this rice-based delight. Music, folklore, shows, tasting of typical local products, will be the setting for everything. Just immerse yourself in the atmosphere, and immediately find yourself in the culinary realm of gluttony, in which, as if by magic, the protagonists of the evenings will appear; conical rice balls, filled with all kinds of good things.
