the sicily lies just beyond the coast of to nicea to tanya, the islands, 2nd largest city is nestled beneath the mounts and the tradition of a citrus fates has long been grown in the 1st heil region. let's see if i can help with the winter holidays. the reason i find myself with 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 on times. i've got the right food. so the job way too big a little effective, effective around $1500000.00 tons of citrus trade to produce every year on sicily, organic farm and play deacon analogy hovers around $100000.00 kilos of our inches. know just in the province of cataneo. but in other provinces as well,

what time it was a special about the outlines of here on sicily. let's pretend he thought this region special to use the blood orange inside the fruit. there was this intense red color. okay, that's typical for this region. so for the area around cataneo and close to aetna, tanya, this is because the mountain causes temperatures tend to change quickly. they wanna send the strong difference between day and night for the colors, the orange, and all the. okay, if i stick 11 to see what all you know to into your file, all your orange us and what does it mean for the region? we've kind of rather special distribution channel and we sell to acquisition group . or in other words, private individuals who join forces. could you develop a relationship with the products they're buying and these are almost always organic . the old farming methods have been exclusively organic since 1992. my father

hi, nice to meet to meet you. thank you for a time. my pleasure. okay. hold of me about 10 years ago and began to colleagues 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 men made cellulosic fiber and they all contain sunroof, as a complement, right? for the semester necessary, some white top, it's everything that is not the water. oh so and then from that we extract the settings and then the cellulose that we extract look like these pretty much so it's like paper. yeah, yeah. i a touch a slide suck. yeah,

exactly. we saw a lot of things this. i think it's a top or something. yeah. how does it have to be a and we have a scar here as the cops golf. yeah. okay. so it's like it looks very amazing on you are in spite but has already made a name for itself. it's supplies freshman companies across the spectrum with the seemingly endless supply of room material on hand this phillips and to escape the development. wow. and that's the most casanya you can see from here. and by the way, you can see people when you walk on a place like this was amazing you, 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 plans and halls meeting with other people then also just work. but you're also surrounded by kasanya is a port to see in east in sicily. many residents still depend on fishing for their

livelihoods from and because of fest, it's not fall to the port, it would say the fish small kids, the, the sci fi looks irresistible, but i find myself drawn to something else to sicilian men thinking. 2 fine job. uh huh. that's screwed artichoke. filled with garlic and parsley. okay. you can just eat it like that's good. good. all good. the

the cathedral square with the blacks. now the rook elephant is the hoss of the city . all the main shopping streets find out from here, the people are they are through is also just a short walk away. which our line here for a very special meeting with a young man on with the right to bundle on all your my name is yeah. so no, the patient got a lot. betcha meal i don't know. made me call the police cool. efficient medicaid. maybe arch in with that. a mighty pro. cool. cool. me fun, really bay? she sure. yeah. giovanni, a, b, c, the all of them on the computer, but it's too old. replace to man. 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

which means that was the beginning of the christ lot, that our family survived federal, 80 monks to the tenacious most of that was kind of 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 mix 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 i mean, downloaded it. we have a fairly broad repertoire without some current engine epics of suit. the shakespearean tragedies or shakes. next week we're presenting a very special text to the moment. the fashions on the appropriate side can truly do anything to be able to. the sicilians maintain a special bond with moma. aetna then named the tourist active volcano in europe. broken ologist to set pay salon know takes me up the mountain we saw sink,

atanya in glittering sunshine, the 3000 meters above sea level. it's a completely different picture, the a rupture. what can happen to the people in cub, tanya, 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 the doubts that anyway. since 20. yeah. see, we have a very decent, astonishing gets, but to see about option about to the effect is not the so strongest of the society, the effect, these are the dash, the full out team day in the towns. and so rounding guy to talk about that kind of

explosive activity, lots few hours that we get quite windy 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 diaz, physics and so chronology 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 the rabbit law the display to remind us of that fact the new season. they're the same total and you be where all the money to activity over this issue. then what kind of sort of just the economics also move kind of strongly. it's also of about, excuse me, captivity impact of the cc. these monitoring 24 hours 7 say you show me is this monitoring thing. but what's the out here we go,

i can and i'll sit down because we set it up on our meters. we are taking savings by saving the life behavior of i strongly blue. com. so add a thing here, kind of boss, to try to for the cost and a day by day is apply that to you here in sicily cause it's not my, my, it's not that you know why. if you bought in here me, when you go open your eyes, the face of the thing searching you spot the list. so we go off. yeah. we these 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. 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 facade is not building giovanni 5 only, and how low basetti know is that the 2 judges supposed organized crime on this island and paid for it with the night. i do switch him leaving stuff with the in the historic center of palermo, i meet key out of control from the mc mfc and movement deal. so more and more

business people are refusing to pay protection money to the mafia and they're making those secrets of it that pushing because in the shop windows, the people estimate to it's about a month. yeah. yeah. why? 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 and the response, you know, i'm off of you. and so if anybody got see on this that one of those uh, association stats that work. okay. and that's what's up to the association emerged

in 2004, initially by chance when a go through university, friends decided they wanted to open a bong. she had 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? we prepared to pay the on. so was clearly knowing what you're supposed to forgot it . that is supposed to know. do you peep, so means farewell pizza, or extortion money. yadda would show has been involved with the initiative since the student days. now she works as a tool guide showing to arrest the of the pin number without the mafia. we meet valentino sharpoda, who owes that refuses to pay the peach, so i saw the official logo by there i had to do and i have problems with the master commentary on say, hey, go, i think you have to pay for it? no, no, no. well, he's never had any problem. having the logo in the store gaz these they pulled off at best bet. so we've never had any issues with some of the blood needs to sort of

move a geneticist any killed g the same, 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 number's probably going down, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be dropping off god after all, even if it's no fix, doting, anyone mafia is trying to such as dominance in other ways. it's remarkable housing and tina and many other business people in sicily taking a stand against the mafia. tragedies, tacoma, daily in the pool, 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 palomo, 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 see i mass just people facing the human b. i came to the, to she watch, including a couple of other kids to the owner as soon as she bought it. and then she watch cheaper, 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 under review because we have the migrant, the news release impediments for you, or with the migration. i'm not like the pixies up there. okay. i made a real decision between who was born in palermo. yes. would that would. that's really important. more sorry for you. yeah. but for my, for my, this is not a part of okay, really political. what do we do when you say you are a blog that way? and then that is very easy. and we are proud to leave in this part of the war. and the we believe that booth every is not. this is a is not se dividing the people and the zip codes, and then what is your leaving the confidence as to the people to be able to meet.

so when you come in, let them know you'll see laptops. now i am traveling out of the presence across the island to traces of the islands tossed in syracuse, the backend on secrecy. syracuse was the largest and wealthiest city in the entire mediterranean region. how familiar and people lived here. then almost 4 times as many as today. the day i'm in syracuse and the oldest part of the town is actually an island and it will teach you based on the ancient greek word for quail. this little corner of the world could use the number of things including home, except to end the 1st christian community in your home. 40 just phones, the city's historic center. today,
