I do not think criminality in Sicily is common..
People are very good and warm
food is excellent and based mainly on Fish ( swordfish is the typical fish)
Taormina is one of the most expensive and famous palces to see in Sicily
we have only one type of snakes in Italy.. it is the Viper.. but normally it
lives in woods
Viper bytes are so uncommon. that hospitals are not obliged anymore to have
anthydotes.
