Sicily
The Region
Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean, has been known since ancient times with the name of Trinacria for its triangular shape. It is separate from Calabria to the east by the Strait of Messina.
The island is characterized by a landscape mostly mountainous. The main mountain ranges are the Madonie and Nebrodi to the north, Peloritani to the north-east, and mountains Iblei south-east, which are considered geologically as a continuation Italian Apennines.
Sicily and its surrounding small islands are extremely interesting also from a volcanological point of view. Etna, located in eastern Sicily mainland with a height of 3320 meters, is the highest active volcano in Europe and one of the most active in the world.
Aeolian Islands in the Tyrrhenian Sea, north-east of Sicily, are a vast volcano complex that includes Stromboli, currently active, but also the three dormant volcanoes of Vulcano, Lipari and Vulcanello.
The island is crossed by several rivers, many of which cross the central area. salso flows from the slopes dell'Enna before entering the Mediterranean Sea, near the port of Licata. To the east, in the province of Messina, are the Alcantara, that reaches the sea near the Giardini Naxos, and the Simeto, which flows into the Ionian Sea south of Catania. Other important rivers are to the south-west Belice and Platani.
