Sicily
Sicily is an autonomous region of Italy and the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, and is directly adjacent to the region of Calabria via the Strait of Messina to the east. We can find in its territory the volcano Etna, wich is close to Catania and with its 10,900 feet high, is the tallest volcano in Europe and one of the world's most active volcanoes.
Sicily has been noted for 2000 years as a grain-producing territory. Oranges, olives, and wine are among its other agricultural products. The mines of the Enna and Caltanissetta district became a leading sulfur-producing area in the 19th century but have declined since the 1950s.
