  Descripción

  Hi! My name is Vincenza. I was born in North of Italy and at the age of 45 years old I decided to move to Sicily with my family.My family is composed by my hysband (Manuel) and my son Fabrizio (10 years old)and my daughter Sofia (12 years old).We decided to move to the south because we needed a more quite life style away from smog and confusion of the city. At the moment I don't work, I take care of my children, I follow them with their sports and school . We have a big vegetable garden and me and my housband try to grow vegetables and fruit , this is our hobby.
  My husband works in the family cheese factory just closed to our house.
  Our house is quite big and really new ,infact we moved here one year ago.There are 4 rooms and 3 bathrooms.
  A big kitchen where I love to prepare my north traditional dishes and Manuel loves to cook bread and sicilian dishes. We would like to meet new people and host them in our house because we love to know different culture .
  You could be stay with us and live in an italian family in which there is a mix of north and south italian characteristics.
  
  I would like to improve my english or german so I need to make conversation speaking all the time with you and I would like my children could improve english too with your help. Anyway if you are here to improve italian, I can help you because me and my husband don't speak sicilian or dialet. Me and Manuel can speak english and I know german too even if my german is not so fluent. Sometimes I can ask you to accompany my children to school.
  If you can play an istrument, paint, if you have any hobby please share it with us.
  I can ask you to help me with my garden to collect vegetables and water the yard. My husband could ask you to help him in the cheese factory in case some foreign tourist come here to see the production of cheese . Thare are so many activities linked to the countryside, ie. September/October... it's time to harvest! November...it's time to harvest olives and produce our fantastic olive oil...and so on..
  
  Next to my house there is also the school of Art located in the old school of Marcatobianco. Sometimes we like to produce feleted objects using our sheeps wool and to welcome foreign people interested to the wool world.
  
  Marcatobianco is really a small village, there are only 100 habitants..there are more sheeps than people.
  This village is at 700 m, sourranded by hills...the landscape is really nice .You like it if you enjoy the nature, animals counrtyside and do long walks.
  
  
  Sicily is not my native country , I have started to visit Sicily in the last 2 years..I visited so many pleaces and I can say that counrtyside of Marcatobianco, in the province of Palermo (heart of Sicily), has nothing less than other turistic places.In Marcatobianco seems to be in a movie of the 80's, the time seems to stand still..I bet you can't find this in any other place..
