Abstract

Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean sea (25,832.39 km2) and the southernmost and largest region of Italy. The Strait of Messina, just over 3 km wide, separates it from the Italian peninsula and the Strait of Sicily separates it from Africa, which is only 140 km away (from Marsala to Cape Bon in Tunisia).
