	ITALIA - Spotlight On ... The Paelagian Islands - Sicily
		The main attraction of Lampedusa is the great solitude of this island, lost between the coasts of Sicily and Tunisia, and the strong contrast between the aridity of its land, covered with Indian figs, agaves, carobs and low bushy scrub on one hand, and the sharp colours of an extremely crystal-clear sea on the other.
		This island breaks away from the mainland just in front of the cove bearing the same name and which is populated by sea turtles (Caretta caretta) that use its beach to continue the life-cycle of this protected species.
		(pozzolanas) and lava flows that reach the sea are the cause of both the island's extremely peculiar conformation (along the coastline and inside the island) and of its low but sometimes thick vegetation composed of lentiscus, euphorbiae, sealilies, carobs, mulberries and grapes.

	SICILY
		(The treacherous whirlpools and undertoe in the strait inspired the ancient legend of Scylla and Charybdis.) Sicily is a triangular island, bounded on the Southwest by the Mediterrean Sea, on the North by the Tyrrhenian Sea, and on the East by the Ionian Sea.
		Sicily is comprised of nine regions (Agrigento, Caltanissetta, Catania, Enna, Messina, Palermo, Ragusa, Siracusa, and Trapani) and many smaller islands (the Egadi Islands, the Lipari Islands, the Pelagie Islands which include Lampedusa, Pantelleria island, and Ustica island).

	Land and Nature of Sicily
		Until about 800 BC, most of Sicily was still covered by extensive forests through which flowed navigable streams full of fish, and until 1850 it was still possible to fish smaller "rivers" such as the Belice and Platani, which today are little more than seasonal streams.
		Volcanic Etna, at about 3,323 meters Sicily's highest mountain, is not part of this chain, nor are the lower Sicanian Mountains of south-central Sicily or the Iblei of the southeast.
		Today most of Sicily is agricultural, and with a few exceptions, such as the Alcantara River which flows into the Ionian south of Taormina and the Ciane River near Siracusa, the few streams run only from January until late April.

		If, as Leonardo Sciascia said, Sicily is a metaphor for the world, it is unsurprising that Palermo would be a metaphor for Rome or Milan, where the "Clean Hands" political trials (for bribery) of the early 1990s were no more conclusive than the Andreotti trial at finding the culprit for Italy's persistent political difficulties.
