Mattanza: the Ancient Sicilian Ritual of Bluefin Tuna Fishing
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Penguin Books
- Publish date: 07/01/2001
Theresa Maggio witnessed her first mattanza on Favignana, a butterfly-shaped island off the cost of Sicily. Brought to the island by a fisherman who was in love with her, Maggio in turn fell in love with Favignana, with its white magic and stonework, its anchors and nets. Penetrating this exotic, all-male world as no woman has before her, Maggio documents a dark and beautiful ritual that might soon disappear -- a casualty of the modern fishing industry. Part memoir, part natural history, part travelogue, Mattanza is a riveting narrative of one woman's journey into another world, a world where moon lemons grow wild, and where the sea holds the promise of renewal.
