Italy - A trip of Isola di Sicilia(2nd island)

Sicily (Italy: Sicilia) is a common name for Sicily (Region Sicilia), a special autonomous region of the Republic of Italy that combines the islands of Sicily and its surrounding islands.

Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, with an area of 25,420 km2. The island is also called Sicily (island), which is derived from English.

Sicily is Italy's largest state, accounting for less than a-twelfth of the country's total area. The symbol on the state flag is called Trinacria and consists of Medusa's face and three bare feet. The feet are said to represent the capes of Palermo, Messina and Siracusa. Trinacria is also the ancient name of Sicily and is derived from the Greek word "three capes".

  The largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. It is an island that is a little bigger than Shikoku with a population of 5.2 million. Monreale on the outskirts of Palermo takes about 30 minutes by car from the city. Climbing Conca d'Oro to the top of the hill, the streets are full of bougainvillea and oleander.
