As you know the region of Basilicata has two provinces: Potenza and Matera. Is that where the reference "Kingdom of two Sicilies" comes from? I spent a month with an uncle in Matera. Poor and dry is what I remember. Yes they made fresh macaroni every day but no clue whether they called it gravy or sauce. My grandparents both immigrants always made "gravy" on Sundays. Of course, we always knew about sauce but that's what came in a jar. In conversation if we didn't mean red gravy, we'd say brown gravy to distinguish the two.
