  14. Sicily has a typical Mediterranean climate with mild and wet winters and hot, dry summers. Sicily is an often-quoted example of man-made deforestation , which was practiced since Roman times, when the island was made an agricultural region.This gradually dampened the climate, leading to decline of rainfall and drying of rivers.

  15. Sicily has long been noted for its fertile soil due to the volcanic eruptions in the past and present.The local agriculture is also helped by the pleasant climate of the island.

  16. Etna Etna the tallest active volcano in Europe and one of the most active in the world. It is the highest mountain in Italy south of the Alps.

  17. Cuisine Sicily is different from the rest of Italy, especially in terms of the standard of service and cuisine. Perhaps the most well-known part of Sicilian cuisine is the rich sweet dishes including ice creams and pastries. Although Sicilian cuisine is commonly associated with sea food, meat dishes, including goose, lamb, goat, rabbit and turkey , are also found in Sicily.
