It's the Journey - A podcast by Carlo Pietro Sanfilippo
Categories:
When we say yes to our dreams and follow the threads that pull at our hearts, it can lead us to new places and new people. My Yes Ands, as I shared in AfterLIFE, Waking up From My American Dream) lead me across the ocean to the homeland of my grandparents and that journey, with the help of Rick Steves, lead me to Jackie Alio! Last fall before I hike across Sicily, I spent 2 hours wandering the streets of Palermo like a kid in a candy shop absorbing the stories and lessons Jackie shared with me. In preparation for my next trip to Sicily I've begun reading some of her books. I was absolutely delighted when she said yes to coming on the show to share some of the things we talked about and to expand on the books she has written, including her soon to be released book: Kingdom of Sicily, 1130-1266, The Norman-Swabian Age and Identity of a People.
