Separated from the Italian peninsula by the strait of Messina (3 km), Sicily is the biggest island in Italy and thanks to its natural beauty, it's famous in the world.

During it's history it was a maritime crossroad and a land of conquest. Here you can find more testimony about ancient civilisations. For example the Arabs looked to the island for their expansions in Europe, Greeks and Phoenicians built monuments of their civilisation.

Today Sicily is the second region in Italy for population density and Palermo is the regional capital of Sicily.

Like in a picture in Sicily you can admire big yellow wheat field, beautiful gardens, citrus, the blue sea, red dawns and sunset…

During the summer Sicily is the favourite destination of people that love sun at his zenith. In fact it's at the same latitude of Tunisian coast and it offers attractive coasts and fascinating landscapes. All around the island there are many smaller islands like the Eolie, the Ustica, the island of Pantelleria and the volcanoes of Stromboli and Vulcano.

Etna volcano, that it's still working, it's the biggest volcano in Europe and it's one of the attractions of the area.

The climate is Mediterranean with hot summers, warm springs and could autumns and winter.
