Marsala’s Fisherman Ciccio Celebrates 100 Years Riding Bike

Francesco Di Girolamo, also known as Ciccio ‘u piscaturi, celebrated his 100th birthday with his usual morning bike ride along the cycle path that runs along the sea in Marsala. Despite his age, he is still in great physical and mental shape. Born in 1924, he learned the fishing trade from his father and served in the Navy during World War II. After the war, he worked on fishing boats and later became the captain of yachts in Santa Margherita Ligure. His children and grandchildren surround him with love, and his favorite hobbies include making fishing traps and baskets. He enjoys simple meals like potatoes, sweets, wine, and soda, and his greatest passion is still riding his bike by the sea. On his birthday, he received a commemorative plaque from the mayor and the president of the council.
