Each product available on the platform is listed and sold by a partner seller identified on the product page. The platform acts as a metasearch/marketplace: it facilitates discovery and checkout, but the sale is made by the seller, who becomes responsible for the transaction.
Shipping is managed directly by the partner seller. The package is sent from the seller's warehouse or logistics network and handed over to the courier. This model enables more efficient deliveries and ensures that order management is handled by the party with actual availability of the product.
On the product page, you will find ingredients, allergens and nutritional information based on the data provided by the seller or producer, namely the official label. If you have allergies or intolerances, we recommend carefully checking the product page before purchasing and contacting the seller with any specific questions.
The platform was created to promote Italian food and make it more accessible. We select sellers in the food e-commerce sector with consistent catalogs and transparent information. Each product is associated with an identifiable seller and a complete information page: we want shopping here to mean buying with confidence.
Delivery times and costs depend on the seller and destination. At checkout, you will always find an updated delivery estimate before confirming payment. For international shipments, times may vary depending on the country and courier.
The book: «Sicily is an island, so to speak» is many things at once: a comedy book, a clear-eyed account of a much-loved land, a curious and irreverent travel diary, and an instruction manual for assembling and dismantling the myth of «Sicilianness». Mario Fillioley knows well that he is facing a place that has been told too many times, cloaked in a tradition of its own which, from the cycle of the vanquished to television dramas, has accumulated and absorbed an endless series of versions, always hovering between topos and stereotype. And he knows that to recount this place, in all its infinite manifestations, he has one winning weapon: irony. Avoiding both rhetorical and anti-rhetorical posturing, Fillioley speaks to the reader as if he were a friend, without tricks or hypocrisy. He thus succeeds in an apparently impossible undertaking: saying something new about the island that is too large, too complex—the island, so to speak. Telling, with lightness and loving disillusionment, the story of a different Sicily, not definitive and therefore all the more real and credible. The author: Mario Fillioley was born in Syracuse in 1973. He is a literature teacher at a public school and has translated several books from English. He has a personal blog, Aribiceci.com, and a blog on Il Post. Several of his stories and reports have been published in IL. One of his texts is included in the anthology Non si può tornare indietro, published by Marsilio in 2015.
