Sommatino, Sagra dell’ Agricoltura, Scarlata: Affluenza oltre le aspettative

In Sommatino, the third annual Agricultural Festival exceeded all expectations in terms of turnout. Giuseppe Scarlata's farm was present as it does every year. Scarlata stated: "I attended all the festivals, not just in Sicily, to have the financial strength to purchase fodder and hay from the north at quadrupled prices to feed my animals. Politicians have done and are not doing anything, but if the drought continues, 80% of farms will be gone next year, and with the demise of agriculture, beautiful festivals like this one in Sommatino will come to an end, and Sicily will die."
