Description
Worshippers crying "hail Mary" walk alongside their Muslim neighbours in the Tunisian port district of La Goulette, harking back to a time when Sicilians were at the heart of neighbourhood life when the country’s Italian community numbered 130,000, including the parents of actor Claudia Cardinale, who was born and grew up in the area. The Madone de Trapani procession, marking the Catholic Feast of the Assumption, is an echo of a "forgotten history" researchers of Italian origin say offers a model for co-existence with migrants, among faiths and ethnicities.
