The Sicilian Fisherman

Season 1 · Episode 6 · Nov 23, 1984

Ciccio Longo is now nearly 80 and has been fishing the Straits of Messina all his life. Here they kill swordfish and tuna with the harpoon. Ciccio's nickname is Piscibonu - the 'good fisherman'. Piscibonu was once champion harpoonist, like his father and grandfather before him, and he is still out fishing most days from dawn until dusk. One day after an exciting chase they land three big tuna fish, the next day nothing. His great love is the sea - 'It's like a woman. I want to embrace it' - but each year he catches fewer fish. The factory ships have begun to destroy Piscibonu's way of life. He accepts it with good humour - perhaps because he knows there is little he can do about it.
