Discussion Experiencing Latin@ Culture in Sicily/Italy

I recently spent nearly 3 weeks exploring Palermo and Cefalu in Sicily, and I was struck by the incredible warmth and hospitality of the people there. It got me thinking about the presence and influence of Latin@ culture in Sicily and Italy as a whole. Has anyone else noticed this blend of cultures? Are there specific places, events, or communities where Latin@ culture is particularly vibrant in Italy? I'd love to dive deeper into this topic and hear about your experiences or insights.
