This creative video profiles Rocky, known as King of the Vucciria. The video is in Italian, but shows how devoted Sicilians are to the traditions of generations before them. Rocky is a street food vendor who works at Palermo's Vucciria market.
In the video, Rocky says that he is fortunato because he gets up each day to prepare street food such as milza for the people of Palermo. He is proud to continue a tradition that his father and grandfather passed on to him. In the end of the video he says he knows his work everyday is important because he is feeding the people of Palermo.
He concludes with an old saying from Palermo, "Viva Palermo, Santa Rosalia e a Vucciria!"
Long live Palermo, Santa Rosalia and the Vucciria!
