A parlarmi di lui, è stato un giovane e appassionato artigiano incontrato lungo il viaggio. Il modo sinceramente ammirato con cui me lo ha descritto, ha fatto sì che lo cercassi. " Turi 'u Miricano" è uno degli ultimi Maestri Siciliani nella costruzione del "Marranzano", il piccolo strumento in ferro battuto comunemente conosciuto come "Scacciapensieri". Deve il suo nome ad un ormai lontano passato trascorso nelle Americhe settentrionali, sulle rive del Mackenzie, il fiume più lungo del Canada, dove emigrò insieme alla madre, per lavorare nella fiorente carpenteria diffusa in quelle lande gelide e remote. Quando sua madre si ammalò di tristezza, dovette far ritorno al piccolo e mite borgo mediterraneo. Mi racconta di quel periodo e i suoi occhi azzurri si accendono ancora d'orgoglio e nostalgia. Ormai, mezzo secolo dopo, nonostante la sua irriducibile forza d'animo, gli acciacchi del corpo gli stanno imponendo di fare pace col fuoco della forgia. Eppure, come già accadutomi al cospetto di altri anziani fabbri, a restarmi addosso è la ferma sensazione che quella vigoria del corpo e dell'animo, necessaria ad affrontare per decenni un mestiere duro come questo, non lo abbia abbandonato. Rimane indelebile nel timbro della voce, nella decisione dello sguardo, nella postura del corpo e in altri piccoli e grandi dettagli. Qualcosa di quella ferrea volontà, una volta acquisita, è per sempre. ___________________________________ Catania

Every time I look at one of your interior photos I am always amazed by the skill with which you capture the light and the shades. It tastes all yours. I am breathless.
I feel like I'm entering a magical world like Robert Richardson's cinematic world (Hugo Cabret's).
And as in any magic there is a story, in yours by Turi 'u Miricano that makes the shot even more interesting and poetic.
Hello :-)

The subject is very remarkably light and original (and picturesque). Note the GIANT harp.
