Non mi piace "the people from Scilla". Mi era venuta "The Scilleses" che si avvicina alla denominazione originale. Non riesco a giustificare se e come posso coniare questo nuovo termine. Secondo voi è possibile o no? Grazie!

the Scillese
Ciao Mariateresa. Vedo Scilla dalla mia terrazza!
If you really want to invent something, you could try this. It would be Scillese, not Scilleses as you suggested, in both the singular and plural, like Milanese or Chinese, for example
Un saluto da Messina ;-)

As opposed to Charibdans? :)
Or simply Sicilians
