Exclusive videos from Chips' Giro di Sicilia

Dino, the official Chippings bike mechanic (or, in the words of one cynic, the "placebo mechanic") was also the unofficial videographer on the Sicily ride.  After mastering a complicated downloading and file transfer protocol that included use of the Linux operating  system, a PC to Mac video converter and three weeks of advanced trial and error engineering, Dino provided three videos for posting on Chippings site.  Viewers will appreciate his authentic, unrehearsed, hand-held camera approach. The videos are:

A self-narrated 360-degree view of Agrigento, the most extensive Greek temple ruins outside Greece itself.  You'll note a spot appearance by Giovanni DeRocco at the end.


A belly dance by Dottore James P. "Jimma Jamma" to the tune of the jam and jelly song.  Filippo Cane also appears in this clip but his belly don't dance like Jimma's.


The Chippings' comments on a dinner, prepared by master chef Giovanni DeRocco, in the kitchen of the LoL Hostel in Siracusa.
