The island of Sicily has been noted both for its natural beauty and the Mafia, a once local criminal underground organisation that went international when they branched into the USA.

Its capital city, Palermo, is home to numerous beautiful buildings; especially noteworthy is the Cathedral, which has a heliometer which projects an image of the sun onto the floor at solar noon, a rare testament to the once fruitful relationship between science and religion. Catania, Sicilys second largest city, is spectacularly located at the foot of the Mount Etna, an active volcano.
