Sicily and the Family Tree of Citrus
I loved this post about Sicily and the Family Tree of Citrus. Long ago I watched a show about Anthony Bourdain in Sicily. I was so taken with it that I immediately booked a flight to Rome with a connection to the night train to Palermo. I awoke in the morning to the train rolling onto the ferry to cross the Strait of Messina. As soon as the train disembarked I could see and smell the iconic Limone Interdonato Messina PGI, an heirloom variety created in the 1860s by Garibaldi's colonel, Giovanni Interdonato. Passing through the fragrant orchards is one of my fondest memories.
