The project Sicily&Sicilians was born from the Associazione Culturale MOSTRAMED. The project follows the steps of the successful experience of Sandro Aglialoro, of the passion for arts and the daily work with young people of Vittoria Benzo and of the international experience as a translator of Francesco Caruso. Together they have developed this project to enhance the exellence of Sicily, by promoting art, culture and young sicilians people.

He has an extensive professional experience in marketing and communication at national and international level in different sectors: finance, luxury, food & beverage, ICT and now finally in the artistic and social field. He has always worked in volunteering and six years ago he started to focus on social entrepreneurship with Mostrami, a great collective of young artists who work at the national level. He would like to bring in Sicily his passion for young art and his project experience to replicate this success in his territory.
