it is law in tunisia that a man should provide basic needs for his family. Shelter, food, clothing.
“Many look for jobs for 6 months travelling around the country looking for
opportunities”
“ In 2006 I worked for 51 days out of the year now it is more like 101 - 151 days out of
the year”there are some companies which can arrange your temporary work but its
often better just to call them yourself
“fruit picking is a dirty and difficult job especially in the
summer sun”

Sicily’S eclectic dNa
Sicily has a long history of being under an eclectic mix of rules and styles which have led to its rich and interesting culture. along with architecture and cusisne, the mass production of
foods and arab irrigation techniques are things left over from arab rule.
arab architecture arab Food and Markets arab agriculture techniques
citrus fruits, sugar cane, cotton, dates and hemp were also cultivated in considerable quantities, nurtured by the implementation of highly effective arab irrigation technique.
Sicilian cuisine was also strongly influ-enced by the arabs, who added almonds, aniseed, apricots, artichokes, cinnamon, oranges, pistachio, pomegranates, saffron, sesame, spinach, sugarcane, watermelon and rice to the local palate.
palermo’s churches are surmounted by red domes or covered in decorative art. the castello di Zisa in palermo (above), are in pure Fatimid style and surrounded-ed by arabic gardens.

although admittedly even long after Sicily became a province of the Normans, arabic was still spoken as the court language and much of the islamic institutions were kept in place, it proved only a matter of time before an intolerance of islam, much harsher than that of the previous islamic rulers, was set in place. islam and all its external influences, including the decorative arts, were cleansed of much of the work that could be attributed to islam.

the discipline of the produc-tion of iGp lemons demands a biological stop from No-vember of every year to 31st January of the following year.
Sorting and removing of the stem. in this stage, the opera-tor also takes steps to further select the lemons depending on market characteristics. after this stage the lemons go through subsequent processes which include first washing and
then peeling them by hand
rind removed and peeled lemon goes to waste (85% of the lemon) or to make fertil-
iser and to light ledS.
lemon rind is added to pure grain alcohol for 2 days.

the main characteristic of the technique of cultivation is the use of the famous ‘pagliarelle’: straw mats which are lent on wooden supports, usually made out of
chestnut wood, and are used to cover the foliage of the trees, so as to protect them from the cold and wind, climatic elements which can be decisive in the production of the harvest. the covering with these “pagliarelle” delays the ripening of the fruit, the
results of which is one of the principal characteristics of the variety.
