"Rustici" usually refers to some street food that you can find in a rosticceria or panetteria. It is a generic term for that kind of food. What you were looking for is called "mozzarella in carrozza" (lit. mozzarella in a wagon")

@@TheGlobalExpats unfortunately my grandfather died before i was born. he ended up settling and living in New York. which our family moved from New York to Arizona in 1972. and that is where i reside now. i have never visited Messina but i would LOVE to. that's where my roots go back to. God bless you and thank you for the vids!

Thank you for being in our beautiful town (I am from Messina). Some people use to think that we have not much; instead I can surely say that my town is a quite nice place. I also hope that citizens were friendly as they always are (that is one of the reasons why Sicilian people are famous in all the world). I hope you would come back again if you can. Although you didn't eat our tipical "Mozzarella in carrozza" (what you called "fried mozzarella"), I hope you enjoyed our city and, as a matter of fact, I am sorry you couldn't visit more places and monuments...we really have a quite number of it in our city. Nice video anf Thank you again :) Fabio.

I discovered your travels through Italy during Covid lock down. They are such a great escape when we are stuck at home. I have been to Messina and the clock is absolutely amazing, considering it's age and the mechanics in it's build. I especially love it when it plays Ave Maria and the little church rises. I love the animals and the rooster that rotate. My grandfather used to talk about that clock so we made sure we went to see it when we went to Italy. Keep up your great travels and enjoy.

The historical messina with loving delicious foods❤️

I don't really know how many under this video are from Messina, but anyway, I come from the province of Messina (I live in a town in the area), consequently I am from Messina. Ask a person from Messina what he thinks of this city and he will answer you with the biggest insults possible. (Bad management, bad bureaucracy, good mayor, but hated by bad citizens) As an essay said "One thing is good in Messina, the arancini". The "Rustici" are practically any type of fried food that can be eaten by hand. Fried potatoes, arancini, pidoni, and mozzarella in carrozza (Which actually isn't consumed as much in Messina, or at least, not as much as arancini and messinese focaccia). The dirty streets you have come across are only a few of those in Messina. A great example of bad bureaucracy are the famous sheet metal shacks of Messina, present due to the 1908 earthquake that completely destroyed the city (The few buildings that remained intact were inexplicably demolished by the police present to deal with the damage). About the "Bridge of Messina"... please don't talk about this. It's an idea from the 1950's, the problem is not ecologic, but economic. The money had to come from the north of Italy, and.. well, they will not come. With the covid problem and the EU economic support they say "We will make the Messina Bridge!"... i hope.

such a beautiful place ❤

This is where my ancestors are from.

I m from Messina and you were looking for mozzarella in carrozza! You should have visited the northern area of Messina which for me Is the greatest: torre faro, ganzirri... Antway very good job! Greetings from a messinese Who now live in North Italy!

I can’t exactly understand why they can’t get trash picked up but there are mounds of places where people just dump trash because they can’t seem to take it to the right place or something. So that was authentic Sicily that you found in that alley. Also I’d love to go inside of some of the churches with you if you ever go inside please share!

It’s sad when they won’t pick up rubbish for months on end but north Italy is becoming the same due to who leads us!!! Unfortunately!!

Messina, in reality, is a city where it's not worth any of your time. The cracked, run down streets and gloomy, dying vibe of a town that's authenticity was destroyed years ago in a massive earthquake and is slowly dying again due to economic troubles. My cruise ship stopped there for 2 days because of a storm. If you ever have to dock here, just go straight to beautiful Taormina, you won't miss anything interesting.

Wait a minute, what about the train and the ferry? so like an elephant crosses the back of a monkey?
