Sicily is an autonomous region of Southern Italy. It is known for the island’s triangular shape. It is a major part of the Mediterranean trade routes, giving it a rich history and culture. Archaeological sites in Sicily include the Necropolis of Pantalica and the Valley of the Temples.

Sicily is highly agricultural, with large orange and lemon orchards. It is also known for its wine-making and the variety of cuisines, hence the nickname “God’s Kitchen”. Ingredients are all-natural: fresh fruits and vegetables, herbs, citrus, spices, and sea foods freshly harvested from the surrounding coastline such as tuna, sardines, cuttlefish and swordfish.
