  1. Sicily Dominika Kras

  2. Sicily is the largest island of the Mediterranean, as well as the largest region of Italy. With the Aeolian Islands, Egadi Islands and Pantelleria creates autonomous region, which has a certain autonomy. Sicily has 25.7 km2, and live almost 5.1 million people. The region is divided into nine provinces: Agrigento, Caltanissetta, Catania, Enna, Messina, Palermo, Regus, Siracusa and Trapani. Sicily's capital is Palermo, wherelive 700,000 people.

  3. Trinacria Sicily has long been called the Trinacria, it come from the island Thrinacia, which is associated with Sicily or come from Triskelionu, the emblem of the island. Emblem of the tripod head of a woman with wings and snakes in her hair.

  4. Sicily is upland and mountainous, and to the east is the largest active volcano in Europe-Etna. Prevails there Mediterranean climate. It is characterized by mild but rainy winters and warm, dry summers. Number of sunny days per year is 300, and the average annual temperature is 21 degrees Celsius. The largest rivers are Salso, Simeto and Platani.

  5. Monuments and attractions in Sicily: Palermo, Taormina, Siracusa, Catania, Noto, the Royal Palace in Palermo, the Greek Theatre in Syracuse, Castle Ursino in Catania, the Church of San Pancrazio in Taormina, Palazzo Corvaja, Mount Etna, Agrigento - Valley of the Temples , Cefalu, Montreal, Aeolian Islands, Linosa, Caltagirone, Erice, Ragusa, Modica. The most beautiful beaches of Sicily: In San Vito Lo Capo, as well as the beaches near Cefalu and Taormina.

  6. Every Sicilian is bilingual, they say in Italian, which is the official language, but also the Sicilian language. Sicilian language has many dialects. It comes from Latin. Eastern and western Sicily has to the difference in language, but for a foreigner these differences aren't large. But if somebody know Italian language, you can easily see difference of these two languages. Knowing Italian can guess what Sicilian language means. But everyone knows Italian and only speak in the language for foreigners.

  7. But the most, what amazed me is their Sicilian cuisine. It is probably one of the most varied cuisine in Italy. From vegetables and meats until the wonderful seafood. Looking for information about Sicily, I came across a lot of delicious regulations that will implement in the near future. • Arancinidiriso-rice balls stuffed with meat and vegetables, then dipped in batter and fried. It is a mandatory food in Sicily  • Caponata-in Polish cookbooks called eggplant in sweet and sour sauce, and in fact it is a little bit true, but not entirely. The components are: eggplant, celery cheese, onions, tomatoes, capers and spices. Everything is fried. You can find many types of Caponata.

  8. Pasta-of course, many different types, all kinds of extras, who likes what :) • Fishand seafood-you can find lots of delicious fish, such as swordfish, sea bass, sea bream and red mullet and seafood: shrimp, squid, octopus, lobster, mussels, clams. • Sweets- base is tiramisu, which can be found throughout Italy. Also liked pana cotta, which I think is very best desserts : ) A Sicilian desserts are Cannoli- "envelope" of dough similar to our faworki dough, filled with sweet ricotta cheese, Cassata, sponge cake with sweet ricotta and fruit and Semifreddo , chilled dessert with almonds, covered chocolate. • Meat-as in Poland is a popular beef and pork, and recently the lamb. Poultry isn't as well known. • Vegetables- vegetables are certainly highly varied. An eggplants, a tomato and the green beans, potatoes, zucchini, peas and beans. In the spring artichokes in large quantities. • Fruits-especially oranges, peaches, apples, pears, grapes, cherries, watermelons and melons.

  9. I hope that one day I can go to this beautiful island and taste the original Sicilian dishes. I want to learn about their traditions and customs.
