In Sicily you will find the cultural currents and mood of the Mediterranean in its purest form. Not to mention the Italian mafia, which has its roots in the island and is shrouded in mystery.
Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean and lies on the toes of the Italian foot. Its history has been marked by many rulers throughout history, including both the Greeks and the Romans, but also the Arabs and the Normans. All of these left behind influences that can be found in many of the island's diverse and fun cultural life.
Despite its size, cities and towns there are small, and each with its own unique appearance, its own culture.
The island is also home to one of Europe's highest an most active volcano, Mount Etna, which regularly reminds itself of eruptions and is active today.
Sicilian beards are considered very proud and adhere to their traditions and characteristics. Although Italian is now the national language, they have their own language, Sicilian, which is respected and many who use it more. Sicilian is quite different from Italian, and is related to both Latin and Arabic.
The inhabitants of the island are considered rather conservative and outgoing, but at the same time very hospitable and guests who pass by are warmly and warmly received.
