About Sicily


Beach View

Sicily, an island in southern Italy, the largest and one of the most densely populated islands in the Mediterranean Sea. Sicily was inhabited 10,000 years ago. Its strategic location at the centre of the Mediterranean has made the island a crossroads of history, a pawn of conquest and empire, and a melting pot for a dozen or more ethnic groups whose warriors or merchants sought its shores. Sicily’s strong cultural traditions could be seen in the development of Italian lyrical poetry as well as in the works of some modern writers like Giovanni Verga and Luigi Pirandello.
