Sicily

well as the largest region of Italy. With the Aeolian
Islands, Egadi Islands and Pantelleria creates
autonomous region, which has a certain autonomy.

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,
where live 700,000 people.
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.
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.

The most beautiful beaches
of Sicily: In San Vito Lo
Capo, as well as the beaches
near Cefalu and Taormina.
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.
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.
 Arancini di riso-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.
Pasta-of course, many different types, all kinds of extras,
who likes what :)
Fish and 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.
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.
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.
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.
