Please can some one give me some advice, i have encountered this opening to the Scilian on several occasions and always play the same move next what is the corredct line if any?

This line is actually played somewhat frequently in blitz. At least I've run into it a few times. I usually just respond with Nc6.
Unless your opponent put more preassure on f7 it's nothing you need to worry about.

2.Bc4 in the Sicilian should transpose into main lines if White plays a delayed d4, or at least position similair to main lines.
If White goes all out attack on f7 you can easy defend it. Developing your Knight early to c6 is a good option as this Knight can go to e5 to defend f7 at the same time attacking the bishop on c4, and if white has attacked f7 with Qf3, you can simply take on c4 if your worried about f7 :)
Thanks....
