Gil Fagiani / translated by Paul D’Agostino

Size in Sicily (Misura in Sicilia) Sicilians say everything in America is bigger: buildings, streets bars, cars food portions even people’s backsides. But in an outdoor market in the 10,000 abitanti town of Capo d’Orlando there are six-foot zucchinis yellow peppers the size of footballs and lemons -- that if they fell on your head -- could cause a concussion. Dicono i siciliani in America tutto è più grande: i palazzi, le strade i bar, le macchine le porzioni di cibo addiriturra I sederi. Ma in un mercato all’aperto nel paesino di 10.000 abitanti chiamato Capo d’Orlando si trovano zucchine a due metri peperoni gialli grandi come palloni e dei limoni che, se ti cascassero sulla testa, ti farebbero entrare in coma.
