The roots of an Italian-American legend

The roots of an Italian-American legend

Hospitality

Our tour includes a welcome at the pastry shop, where you will taste the pantofola, a typical Lercarese dessert and the "sweet Frank".
We continue towards Piazza Duomo, here a short break to begin the story that links the origins of the Sinatra family to Lercara. We continue along Via Regina Margherita singing "My Way", aided by the text inserted in the Illuminations that enrich the street. At number 36, the last Sicilian residence attributable to the family, which through its walls marked by time, will make us relive a sort of journey through time.
Lunch, "At the table with Frank" will make us rediscover the dishes that grandmother Rosa cooked for little Francis, but revisited by the chef.

A proposito di radici, di turismo di ritorno e storie poco conosciute dei piccoli centri dell’entroterra, in questo contesto assume un ruolo fondamentale Lercara Friddi. Infatti da qui, tra la fine dell’Ottocento ed i primi del Novecento, gli avi di Frank Sinatra mossero i loro passi verso l’America, quel nuovo mondo che gli avrebbe regalato la realizzazione del sogno di vedere il grandissimo successo del nipote a livello mondiale. A Lercara hanno visssuto in Via Regina Margherita Francesco Sinatra e Rosa
