THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!!! I was taught this game by my Sicilian grandfather as a very young child. We played it all the time when I was a young girl. Since then, he’s passed, and I no longer have anyone to ask in my family that recalls how to play! So now I’m a mother of 4 kids and I’ve always wanted to share this with them. Nothing I searched in google came up with any results. I’m sooo excited happy to have come across this video, because I was searching by the wrong word! My grandfather used to say “Gotcha!”- or however you’d spell the word that sounds like “doo-weetie”, which is clearly “to vitti”. (You can understand how a little kid might misunderstand the pronunciation of a word, especially a language she’s not used to.) And google translate for “Gotcha” is “preso”, which I knew for sure it wasn’t called that! So when I watched this video, and heard you pronounce it the way you did, I got a good laugh at my child version of myself misunderstanding what my grandfather EVERY TIME he said “ti vitti” for “doo-weetie”, and was THRILLED to FINALLY find the correct spelling and the game I’ve been searching for for years! Thanks again!

That's amazing, I'm so glad that this could be a help. Google isn't very good at finding our foggy Sicilian memories, so I'm glad to have helped to solve the mystery. My grandfather used to sing a Childrens song, as I recall it; "Scioa, Scioa, La..." but I've never been able to find anything online about it. I'm not giving up hope though! Thanks for watching!

Hi, I just found your channel and I love your videos. I hope you keep making them for traditional games. I have started to collect the Italian regional decks as well, but I am still missing several. It would be fun if you made a video for an Spanish deck. Kind regards.

Finally. I've been trying to find out about this game for years. My Mom would play it with us when we were kids, we're Sicilian. Dad was born in Bagheria and Mom's Parents in Santo Stefano di Camastra. It's all coming back to me now. Thank you.

Just one more thing, I think I couldn't find it because Mom pronounced it a little differently. She'd say, dee WEE tee. So I'd spell it Diwitti. Wrong. Now I know why I couldn't find anything. Thanks again. @@Play-In-Games
