Economics of the place: welfarism, speculation, second-and small businesses. Too many old people, because even the oldest stoned from their apathy, pensioners, who spend their pensions even in the purchase of furs for women and historically shapeless overweight, and sometimes large-screen televisions. Minority of young / older unemployed, underemployed, precarious: sad, without dreams, without looking, fearful, conformist, predictable, speechless and breathless. So inconsistent that perhaps some of them do not even have a shadow when they are in the sun.
Spoken languages: Italian formally, really a sort of muttering words in a guttural construct ungrammatical and gives the idea that widespread ignorance and dominant. The most that can be expected is a discussion on what it costs to rise and ended his life after the euro or "how are you-what do you do? In the most refined and certainly an interesting experience to hear about women.
Population : a million inhabitants and a culture they feel smarter than the other, who have no citizenship, no urban culture, no sensitivity of the concept of "public". In fact it is an agglomeration of people, or more appropriately, pieces of meat in human form, who still lives peeking behind the door of the house, the envy of others, as in the villages of the Islander static pecoreccio uneducated and from which, in most cases, moved here in the 50 and 80.
Trend: Sicily has always been a land of feud, and remains so even now in the island, the inhabitants of major cities, especially coastal, having emancipated the service of the feud, they feel all of the principles or, at worst, great people, and so behave in ceremonies, weddings and attitudes. In fact, due to a deep, structural and total ignorance about anything, people barely is able to distinguish a good wine dall'aceto, and drink everything, though.
Attitudes: local culture rude, self-referential, highly classist and racist that tends to in derogatory terms all that is outside the scope of the eyes. He despises the Arabs as the Romanians, Americans such as Milan. The Palermo despises equally, Catania and Trapani, think that all Moroccans or Tunisians are the poor wretches (and Tunisian or Moroccan is an adjective used in a derogatory manner), is firmly convinced that the place where he lives is the best, the most beautiful in the world.
In other words, is closed and dumb people, inexperience, tribal, with no further capacity to deal with their own clan, whose world extends to a radius of about two kilometers from its maximum - usually bleak and sad - condominium residence half-moldy, stale, and gray, made of waste materials in the 60s and 70s and regarded as a sort of royal palace of priceless value.
capacity for the company: best to do around here is to open a pasta factory. In fact, this is the best goods for the people buy in this market, and, damn dominant, it only takes a few pounds apiece. On the other hand, the real value of the same people, in most cases, will not exceed the price paid. When you want to have the most of people will promise two pounds of pasta Daten only one saying that the rest "has to come."
