By asking him a few questions, we hoped to capture his unique vision of your next destination and get some tips to add a special touch to your Sicilian experience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hi Nicol\u00f2, thank you for agreeing to this interview. How has your Italian tour been?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It was fun! I had the chance to discover new and beautiful places in Italy and meet some very interesting people (locals and musicians) who shared with me such a great experience! <\/p>\n<p><strong>You were born and raised in Palermo, do you think that Sicily has influenced your music? And in what way?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Obviously. Even though I don&#8217;t live there, Sicily is always part of me.<\/p>\n<p>My cultural background has always affected the way I look at the world and it has a great influence on my music and the sound images that I like to create through it. It is something that you carry inside forever. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nicolo\u0300 Carnesi - Tormentone\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-ZXh7-X_wQo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><strong>Where would you take someone who is visiting the island for the first time?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/volare.volotea.com\/en\/cities\/palermo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Palermo<\/a>, no doubt about it. It is the best city for finding that mixture of cultures that makes Sicily so fascinating. It is also the place where I started to play my music, so I would have a lot of stories to tell!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which venues are good for some live music? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.candelai.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">I Candelai<\/a>&#8221; is an historic club right in the heart of the city. However, Palermo is full of many places where you can find music of every kind played by local and international artists.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are there any music festivals not to be missed?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Since 2007 I\u2019ve never missed an edition of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ypsigrock.it\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ypsigrock<\/a>. It is held in August in Castelbuono, which is a town located in the Madonie Regional Natural Park. If you like contemporary music, wonderful landscapes and talking to nice people, this is definitely the festival for you.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there a local dish and \/ or drink that you\u2019d suggest trying? And where could we try it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sicily is a place where you can find delicious food basically everywhere, but in Palermo I recommend you try the traditional street food. My favourite is <em>pane e panelle <\/em>(chickpea fritter rolls). Also, don&#8217;t miss the chance to taste &#8220;<em>cassatelle<\/em>&#8220;, a sort of sweet ravioli with ricotta cheese. Great. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"747\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/volare.volotea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/BAZ9466-08.07.03-1.png?resize=640%2C747&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24743\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/volare.volotea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/BAZ9466-08.07.03-1.png?w=700&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/volare.volotea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/BAZ9466-08.07.03-1.png?resize=257%2C300&amp;ssl=1 257w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Do you have a favourite spot to go for a walk and perhaps admire the sunset?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of my favourite places to take a walk far from the chaotic world is Ficuzza.
