Sicily 西西里
It's more than an island! Discover Sicily and discover the world. The world's first multicultural society, Sicily is Italy's (and Europe's) most historically cosmopolitan region, having been ruled by Asians, Africans and Europeans. Sicily is black and white and a million shades of gray. There's no other place on Earth like Sicily. Our island is a unique place full of art, archeology, history, folklore and breathtaking scenery. And, of course, great food. Sicily is almost a nation unto itself. The enchanting land where Archimedes taught and Saint Paul preached was a Greek colony, a Roman province, an Arab emirate and a Norman kingdom. The Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Swabians, Angevins and Aragonese made Sicily their own, leaving behind an eclectic history that you can still touch today. And Sicily will touch you. Sicily is Europe, Africa and Asia on one island. Greek tyrants, Arab emirs, Norman knights, Byzantine bishops and Holy Roman Emperors made Sicily the place it is. Experience their legacy in Phoenician settlements, Punic cities, Greek temples, Roman amphitheatres, Norman Arab castles and Aragonese churches. Thirty centuries of history expressed in the Classical, the Romanesque, the Gothic, the Baroque...
Sikania to its most ancient peoples, Sicily was Sikelia, Plato's utopian society, to the ancient Greeks. Later, the sonnet was created at the Court of Frederick II, and Sicily found her place in the literature of Dante and Boccaccio. Sunny Sicily is Punic Palermo, towering Taormina, ancient Agrigento, splendid Siracusa, and medieval Monreale and Cefalù. And God created Sicily. The place where the mountains meet the sea. Sicilia, the island in the sun, is home to Heavenly beaches, majestic mountains and Europe's greatest natural wonder, Mount Etna. Sicily's coasts are gold with orange and lemon
orchards. In northeastern Sicily you'll find lush forests. In the central regions you'll encounter rugged land and rolling hills. Dignified vineyards, ancient olive groves, hardy almond orchards and endless wheat fields complete the picture. Summer is amber land under a sky of blue. Winter finds palm trees dusted with snow in a surreal symphony. Spring is a rainbow of wild flowers set against greenest fields...
[size=+1][size=+1]西西里島是地中海和人口最稠密的島，它屬于意大利，位于亞平寧半島的西南。東與亞平寧半島僅隔寬3公里的墨西拿海峽。公元前八世紀(jì)至前六世紀(jì)希臘人在島東岸建立殖民地。公元前241年成為羅馬帝國的一個(gè)省。以后歷經(jīng)汪達(dá)爾、拜占庭、諾爾曼人等統(tǒng)治，1442年并入西西里王國，不久又分裂，改受西班牙統(tǒng)治，1861年并入意大利王國。1946年5月起西西里島獲得自治權(quán)。
西西里島的面積為2.5萬平方公里，人口為500萬。
西西里島以及其周圍屬意大利的島嶼一起組成西西里地區(qū)。其首府是巴勒莫（75萬人口）。其它重要城市有卡塔尼亞（40萬人口）、墨西拿（27萬人口）、錫拉庫薩（11萬人口）、特拉帕尼（10萬人口）、卡爾塔尼塞塔（8萬人口）、阿格里真托（6萬人口）和拉古薩（6萬人口）等。主要港口為巴勒莫、卡塔尼亞與墨西拿。西西里島與亞平寧半島之間的海峽叫墨西拿海峽。
境內(nèi)多山地和丘陵，沿海有平原。多地震。地中海式氣候，北部、西部較濕潤，南部較干燥。西西里島的山是埃特納火山（3,323米），它也是歐洲、最活躍的火山。墨西拿北部的斯特朗博利島上的斯特朗博利火山也是一座活火山。 農(nóng)業(yè)以小麥、蔬菜、葡萄、棉花為主，并多柑橘、檸檬等亞熱帶果品。西海岸漁業(yè)發(fā)達(dá)，產(chǎn)沙丁魚和金槍魚。二十世紀(jì)五十年代，在此發(fā)現(xiàn)石油和天然氣，從而促進(jìn)了地區(qū)工業(yè)的發(fā)展，還有硫黃等礦藏和鹽場(chǎng)。
大多數(shù)西西里人說意大利語的西西里方言。有時(shí)這個(gè)方言也被認(rèn)作是一個(gè)獨(dú)立的語言。少數(shù)人說阿爾巴尼亞語或希臘語。 大多數(shù)人信天主教。
西西里島屬地中海氣候，春秋溫暖，夏季炎熱，冬季潮濕。
首府：巴勒莫。整個(gè)地區(qū)分九個(gè)省。
西西里島周圍的島嶼有烏斯蒂卡島、利帕里群島、潘泰萊里亞島、埃加迪群島、佩拉杰群島。
農(nóng)業(yè)：小麥、玉米、橄欖、葡萄酒和水果；工業(yè)：汽車工業(yè)；旅游業(yè)。
人口過度密集、浪費(fèi)、貪污、環(huán)境污染、缺水和國際性的非法組織（黑手黨）。
