Polizzi honors Scorsese with honorary citizenship

“Today I wouldn’t be who I am without Polizzi”. It is also for this reason that Martin Scorsese became yesterday afternoon (October 13) an honorary citizen of Polizzi Generosa, for a moment that will remain in the memory and history of Madonita. There has been talk of nothing else in these days: in the streets there is a lot of anticipation, preparations, welcome signs in the shop windows to make the arrival of a personality like Scorsese, 82 years old next month, impeccable and with a great sense of Sicilian hospitality. An atmosphere that made the people of Polizzi feel privileged, honored to be fellow citizens of the great director and his grandparents who emigrated to the United States. The original surname of the Sicilian grandparents was Scozzese, then modified by a transcription error to Scorsese.
