Many of you know that my culinary tours take place in Noto, Sicily. Famous for its Baroque architecture, beautiful beaches, archaeological sites, lemon groves and ancient olive trees, the area faces an unsure future. An American oil company began exploration for gas there this past year. Please read the following article from the Times Online (UK newspaper) titled, "Jewel of a cathedral faces new threat after tycoon is allowed to drill for oil."
On the front page of La Repubblica online today, there is an article about this issue in Italian, where they have collected over 70,000 signatures for the cause. Please help to protect this beautiful area of Italy -- pass this on to your friends and family, and sign a petition against oil drilling in Val di Noto. Please visit this page from the Italian newspaper La Repubblica scroll to the bottom, and fill in the form:
In case you do not read Italian, here is a glossary for the petition form:

Cognome - Last name
