Maria Grammatico was in an orphanage where she spent her adolescence in this medieval village, Erice at 2625 ft. above sea level. Going back in time to the late 1700s, the preparation of sweets spread in convents also and above all to ensure the cloisters a way to survive, mainly marzipan and almond paste preparations. Later, many convents were closed, and the older nuns, as they died, took all the secrets of many ancient and traditional Sicilian sweets with them. The remaining convents organized themselves to transform their ability to make sweets into a source of income. Also in Erice, in the San Carlo convent, there was the custom of putting money in an iron wheel, at the convent, behind a grate, and magically a tray of almond pastries took the place of the money. Over time Maria opened her own pastry shop in Erice in the early '80s. The recipes of Maria Grammatico are safe, and the shortcrust pastry 'genovesi' filled with lemon custard are certainly the most popular and delicious sweets in Erice."}
