More info:

On the day when the Church celebrates the birth of St. John the Baptist, in San Giovanni li Cuti - a fishing village in the heart of Catania - the pantomine of "U pisci a mari" is represented.

Pantomine is a scenic representation that has its roots in the Greco-Roman era, and "U pisci a mari" is a ritual that is repeated in San Giovanni li Cuti from 1918: June 24, day of Saint John the Baptist, patron of the village, he is honored for it.

The fishermen of San Giovanni li Cuti "perform" in the capture of swordfish with shouts and goliardic shouts, and the pantomina enchants Catania and tourists. The "actors" are local fishermen: from "Lello il Bello" to "Melo u Dicci", from "Giovanni u pazzu" to "Pippu u Biccusi". And then there's him, "U pisci", Gaetano D'Arrigo
