The geography is also fascinating, with splendid beaches and an incredible Mountain Volcano (Etna) and a broad plateau. Well worth a period of study. The rest of Italy is undoubtedly just as interesting, so it all depends on what part you have a chance to “get at” and the subjects you are supposed to study. Post these and we'll try and help you out. Ok Kristina. Rome has the advantage of allowing you to live in a great capital, one of the World's most attractive ones, but... it will distract you terribly. It's full of life and has so much to offer people of all ages, but especially the young. I've been living here for ages, i can assure you. A school in Sicily will allow you to meet Italian culture gradually and will give you an insight into one particular Region, without distracting you unduly. I've travelled to Sicily very often and toured it extensively. Toss a coin and good luck. Both options are positive. Sicily is the gem, with an implausible story which dates behind Millennia, with the abounding enlightenment where Greeks, upon the East coast, Carthaginians, upon the West coast, Romans, Roman-Byzantines, Saracens from North Africa, Normans, French, Spaniards as well as some-more not long ago “continental” Italians have played the heading role. The embankment is additionally fascinating, with superb beaches as well as an implausible Mountain Volcano (Etna) as well as the extended plateau. Well value the duration of study. The rest of Italy is positively only as interesting, so it all depends upon what partial we have the possibility to “get at” as well as the subjects we have been ostensible to study.
Post these as well as we’ll try as well as assistance we out.

Ok Kristina. Rome has the value of permitting we to live in the great capital, the single of the World’s many tasteful ones, but… it will confuse we terribly. It’s full of hold up as well as has so most to suggest people of all ages, though generally the young. I’ve been vital here for ages, i can assure you.
A propagandize in Sicily will concede we to encounter Italian enlightenment progressively as well as will give we an discernment in to the single sold Region, but distracting we unduly. I’ve trafficked to Sicily really mostly as well as toured it extensively.
Toss the silver as well as great luck.
Both options have been positive.

There’ s no difference.

Because of it's location, it's so much more diverse than the mainland in my opinion. You have influences from Greece and Africa. Many places have a beautiful mix of Arabic and Italian style. It's a really cool melting pot. I have travelled extensively throughout Italy and Sicily is always my favorite. I'm not crazy about getting in and out of their airports, but once you are there it's utterly beautiful. Yes, there is a mafia influence, but its unlikely that you will ever experience it, it's more subtle than you see in the movies. The people of Sicily are generally warm and friendly. In some towns where the Mafia has more of a presence, say Enna or Palermo, or even parts of Siracusa area, people are a bit more suspicious and standoffish, but only until you warm them up and then they are just as friendly as anyone else. For me, the atmosphere and the beauty of Sicily is so unique and appealing. Don't get me wrong, I love the mainland, my parents are from La Marche, but my heart is really in Sicily. The coastal towns are so gorgeous, they are affordable and fun. The food is spectacular, lots of fresh seafood and the desserts in the Trapani/Palermo area are my favorite. I think you will have a more authentic experience in Sicily. I'm not sure which school you are considering in the mainland, but it's likely to be filled with English speaking people in a very english-comforting atmosphere. Whereas in Sicily, you are likely to be with other Europeans and you will really have a more "foreign" experience because it's not as popular as the schools in the mainland. There is a wonderful School in Cefalu which is about 40 minutes east of Palermo. Cefalu is a beautiful town and it's an easy and quick trainride to get into Palermo for bigger city activities. I just can't say enough great things about Sicily, if it were me in your shoes I have no doubt I would choose to go there. Sicily is amazing. Because of it’s location, it’s so most some-more different than the mainland in my opinion. You have influences from Greece as well as Africa. Many places have the pleasing brew of Arabic as well as Italian style. It’s the unequivocally cold melting pot. we have trafficked at length via Italy as well as Sicily is regularly my favorite. I’m not funny about removing in as well as out of their airports, though once we have been there it’s definitely beautiful. Yes, there is the mafia influence, though the doubtful that we will ever knowledge it, it’s some-more pointed than we see in the movies. The people of Sicily have been in all comfortable as well as friendly. In the little towns where the Mafia has some-more of the presence, contend Enna or Palermo, or even tools of Siracusa area, people have been the bit some-more questionable as well as standoffish, though usually until we comfortable them up as well as afterwards they have been only as accessible as any one else. For me, the ambience as well as the beauty of Sicily is so singular as well as appealing. Don’t get me wrong, we adore the mainland, my relatives have been from La Marche, though my heart is unequivocally in Sicily. The coastal towns have been so gorgeous, they have been affordable as well as fun. The food is spectacular, lots of uninformed seafood as well as the desserts in the Trapani/Palermo area have been my favorite. we consider we will have the some-more accurate knowledge in Sicily. I’m not certain that propagandize we have been deliberation in the mainland, though it’s expected to be filled with English vocalization people in the unequivocally english-comforting atmosphere. Whereas in Sicily, we have been expected to be with alternative Europeans as well as we will unequivocally have the some-more "foreign" knowledge since it’s not as renouned as the schools in the mainland. There is the smashing School in Cefalu that is about 40 mins easterly of Palermo. Cefalu is the pleasing locale as well as it’s an easy as well as discerning trainride to get in to Palermo for bigger city activities. we only can’t contend sufficient good things about Sicily, if it were me in your boots we have no disbelief we would select to go there.

Maybe you meant the mainland versus the Sicilian island?? Sicily is an Italian segment as well as thus is partial of Italy!! Maybe we meant a mainland contra a Sicilian island??
