hi, today i'm on the knowledge assignment in the mediterranean sicily. that's you'll be able to see quite easily behind me there not enough to know if i'm wrong about in the top line. this is the home. it's the full clinic. mount sadness in the sicily life just be on the coast of to nicea the put tanya, the island 2nd largest city is nestled beneath the mounts and the tradition at a 6 1st phase has known being grown in this 1st hile reach. and let's see if i can help with the winter home. the area i find myself as an

orange conversation. this made it like a lemon, but it's an orange things i'm going to jump right in because i want to make myself useful. and i've got the right food, so the job way too big, effective, effective around $1500000.00 tons of citrus fruit to produce every year on sicily, organic foam and play the killing audi. hobbies around 100000 kilos of our inches. know just in the province just atanya, but in other provinces as well. tell me what a special about the outlines of here on sicily, the specially value this region. special g is the blood orange. inside the fruit, there was this intense red color that's typical for this region. so for the area around the katana yet and close to aetna, vanya, this is because the mountain causes temperatures tend to change quickly. they want to end this strong difference between day and night, the colors, the orange, and all the. okay, if i stick

a lot on to see if you're going to into your file, all your orange us and what does it mean for the region? we've kind of rather special distribution channel. we sell to acquisition groups or in other words, private individuals who join forces that you develop a relationship with the products they're buying. and these are almost always organic and our farming methods have been exclusively organic since 1992. my father started then my brother and i carry on the tradition. we really believe it's the future if i think it's time for me to try, one of these are inches this i picked to myself. it smells amazing. it's very g c and suites and says it's delicious. com. but what's about the

manageable bits of 5? you wouldn't believe it, but someone who runs the city has come up with a really innovative way to put them to use this product guitar here is more than just an apple to real way to get to the beach. and in december it can get pretty cold. here. i'm here to meet and the rica, elena. company, orange. fine. but it's based in an old collapse. so in the old town. yeah. hi. nice to meet to meet you. thank you for a price. my pleasure. okay, told me about 10 used to go and recount into connie came up with the idea of combining 2 iconic italian products, citrus fruit send function. you take the orange and you squeezy. and what you have left is pretty much 50 percent of the original way. so what we thought is a way to thrust for this by products into something meaningful for the fashion

industry. and there's a family of materials that are called manmade. so what else if fiber and they all contain sunroof as a comb freight for the semester, the necessary some white top, it's everything, there is no water. oh so and then from that we extract the settings and then the cellulose. then we extract that looked like these pretty much so it's like paper. yeah, yeah. i touch a slide suck. yeah, exactly. we saw a lot of things here. i think it's a top or something. yeah. how does it? that's all. yeah. and we have a scar here as the cops golf. yeah. it looks very amazing on you are in sky, but has already made a name for itself. it subsides, flashing companies across the spectrum with the seemingly endless supply of rule material on hand. that's built into scope, the development. wow. and that's the most casanya you can see from here. and by the

way, you can see people when you work on a place like this was amazing view. you get more inspiration than i think it's a fluid for your your company, your vision, and it's a pleasure to all your clients and halls meeting with other people that also just work by you. so surrounded by kasanya is a port to see in easton sicily. many residents still depend on fishing for their livelihoods from and because of fest, it's not fall to the portal. i would say the fish small kids, the the sci fi looks irresistible for us. i find myself drawn to something else. to sicilian men thinking the

launch. uh huh. that screws artichoke. filled with garlic and parsley. okay. okay. you can just eat it like that's good. good. all just the the cathedral square with the black novel rock edison tis the hoss of the city. old the main shopping streets find out from here. the people are they are through is also just a short walk away. they travel. i'm here for a very special meeting with a young man on with the right to one to on. oh, well your, my pay, my name is snap. so no,

the patient got a lot. betcha meal i don't know made me call the police going on, but it was cool ish that case. maybe option what that a not a problem. cool. cool me fun. really. bay, she sure. yeah, julian, yeah, be see the name on the computer, but it's the old repetitive streaming. i mean, you'll see big, clear, good on the. okay, there seems to be a lot to talk about here. but what i want to know is who's pulling the strings, i'm going to take a look. so that is the to thank you for having me. yeah, thank you. are very talented man. can you tell me more about your work with pop up? so the fortuna, the goal should and i was fortunate enough to color and this wonderful art from my grandparents a scene that'd be cool. and ever since i'm a small african, passionate about my art, forgot to of my 1st experience on stage. was that the money on the person doesn't move the public warming the history of the system is pure drama,

and few contented stories as well as the daily napoli, ketani his most famous family of public chairs, the need soon theater in the system. it began around the year 1831 associate. it flourished until the arrival of the cinema television in the 1966 on the leak, which means that was the beginning of a crisis while that her family survived total, 80 monks to the tenacious. and that's that, that's kind of going to be my grand parents being on the k. no, determined not to give way to the looming monstrosity. that was television data, not the least you own it. for generations, local children have grown up plenty about the sicilian, me since the middle ages. they're very familiar with the heroes and heroines to check in and let you know. oh, we have here. children and adults,

they come and watch your your, your show. but on maint, i've downloaded it. we have a very broad rep, a tour from current engine ethics of suit to shakespearian tragedy. 6 next week we're presenting a very special text on mobile devices on the appropriate side. can truly do anything to be able to of the sicilians maintain a special bond with moma at now. then it named the tourist active volcano in europe . vulcan ologist to set pay salon. no, takes me up the mountain. we stopped sink atanya in glittering sunshine. the 3000 meters above sea level, it's a completely different picture, the what kind of a rupture, what's kind of what happened to the people in cub, tonya,

and what are the 2nd to us on demand. so obviously the, all the kind of that option. one thing is very, very low off to do that option web dilemma for those can reach and the doubts that anyway. since 20. yeah. see, we have a very decent, astonishing gets, but to see about option about the effect is not the so strongest of the society, they'll affect the use of the dash, the full out in the, in the towns. and so rounding guy to talk about that kind of explosive activity, the last few hours that he quite winds the up, the yes and i've had enough light. we just asked if the codes go into the car and drive back down the mountain. so we're headed for the national institute for the physics and so can knology to what's known as the war room. he is scientists keep a close eye on aetna. it's one of the world's most active volcanoes and puts on

a sporadic lava display to remind us of that fact the disease and they're the same sort of lines you mean, where all the money to activity over they see them look at it. so no, just the economics also move kind of strongly and also of about, excuse me, captivity. in fact, of the cc, it is monitoring 24 hours, 7 day. and you show me this monitoring thing. but what's the out here we go, i can and also we go so we set it up on our meters. we are taking savings by saving the life behavior of economics from level com. so add a thing here at the boss to try to for the cost and a good day by day is why is that to you here in sicily? cause it's not my my, it's not the yeah. why? if you born here, me, when you go open your eyes,

the face of the thing searching you spot. so we go off with this huge mounting to us out for the rest of the life side. something like, i'm the to me my my now with a very cold experience and i'm glad to be heading back to miles and mediterranean, climbed to palermo to be precise. so my next meeting, i have to travel across the island from the east to its capital city. the almost 700000 people live in palermo for a long time, it was seen as the strong cold of the sicilian mafia until popes of the population started to push back the are too

many see behind me on the saw just not building giovanni fi coordinate and how low both city no. does that include the 2 judges supposed organized crime on this island on page 4? it with then i do switch him leading up with the in the historic center of palermo. i meet key out true from the mc mfc and movement deal pete. so more and more business people are refusing to pay protection money to the mass. yeah. and then making those secrets of it that pushing because in the shop windows, the people asked us today to it's about the mafia. yeah. what do you think is behind this customization? unload aussies. so the question yes, unfortunately that's true. and it is tiny detrimental to those who are trying to

fight against the mafia every day. very often, the nation emanates from stories and books and movies. the godfather, for example. but there's nothing charming or glamorous about the mafia funding. the mafia is violent and harassment child the one the response, you know, well, i'm off of you and saw a few on this one. this is a situation start their work. okay. and that's what's up to the association emerged in 2004, initially by tom's when a good to university friends decided they wanted to open a bonus. you also mentioned it up to tom. they said, how are we going to deal with the most fuels? the who come to demand extortion money from us from the store, we prepared to pay the on. so was clearly knowing what you're supposed to forgot it . that is supposed to know. do you, pete? so means farewell pizza, or extortion money. seattle would show has been involved with the initiative since

the student days. now she works as a to guide showing to arrest the of the pin number without the mafia. we meet valentino a shell phone, a who owes they refuses to pay the peach. so i saw the official logo by there. did you ever have problems with them last year coming to you on say hey go, i think you have to pay for it? no, no, no, no, well, he's never had any problem. having the logo in the store gaz these they bought off at best bet. so we've never had any issues with some of the needs of the genetic soon. he killed the opposite of thing, but i saw new generations opening and running businesses in sicily today have a different mentality. and that's why they're not paying. unfortunately, there's no way of knowing how many are actually paying the most probably going down, but that doesn't mean we should be dropping off god. after all, even if it's no fix, doting, anyone mafia is trying to such it's dominance and other ways.

it's remarkable. housing and tina and many other business people in sicily taking a stand against the mafia. tragedies, tacoma, daily and the pull to spell m. o. and across the region as a whole, the mediterranean sea is now the world's deadliest the crossing. no sir, no, no mist, 1600 people died or went missing trying to reach your rep from africa. the mattress, palermo, deluca orlando, allows rescue vessels to duck in the city, in defiance of orders from central government. the. it's no surprise that we're meeting at the mercy, void t a cafe and education project for young refugees the

like to know why are you so open and support? see, watch and all the people who help the people in the c, i mass just people facing the human beings. i came to the to she watch, including a couple of other kids to the other as soon as she bought it. and then she watch cheap, but there is the platform that she don't cost the people in. this cannot be less bad. sometimes people talk about migration and problems, but you will have a view of the situation with the migration or even interview because we have the migrant, the news release impediments. but for you or with the migration, i'm not like the pixies up there. okay. i made a real decision between who was wondering palermo?

yes. well, that's really important more. yeah, sorry for you. yeah. but for my, for my, this is not a part of okay. you really level, what do we do when you say you are a blog that way and then that the very easy the trial to leave in this part of the war and the we believe that meet the radio is not the see. these are called is not the se, dividing the people and zip codes, and then what time is they're leaving. the company says to the people to be able to meet. so when you come in, let them know you'll see laptops. now i'm traveling out of the presence across the island to traces of the islands tossed in syracuse, the backend on secrets. a syracuse was the largest and wealthiest city in the entire mediterranean region, half a 1000000 people lived here, then almost 4 times as many as today. the
