go and help you join us to get to know the people and their dreams mediterranean the 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 these pub mine, this is the home. it's the full comics mountain. now, the sicily lies just beyond the coast of 2 nicea pit tonya, the islands,

2nd largest city, is nestled beneath the mountains and the tradition at a citrus fates has long been grown in this 1st heil region. let's see if i can help with the winter home. the area 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. and i've got the right food, so the job way too big a little effective, effective around 1500000 tons of citrus fruit to produce every year on sicily. organic fall moments lady killing audi, hobbies around $100000.00 kilos of our inches. no, just in the province of cataneo, but in other provinces as well. what time it was a special about the islands of here on sicily. let's pretend he thought he was this

region special to use the blood orange inside the fruit. there was this intense red color that's typical for this region. so for the area around the cataneo 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 let 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 will 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 and 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. so say it smells amazing. it's very g c and suites and says it's delicious. but what's about the inevitable bits of 5? you wouldn't believe it, but someone who runs this city has come up with a really innovative way to put them to use this problem. good time 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 in the rica edwina. company orange. fine, but it's based in an old perhaps. so in the old town. yeah . hi. nice to meet you. thank you for a price. my pleasure. okay. told me about 10 years ago and began to 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 men made. so what else like fiber and they all contain sunroof, as a complement rate for the semester necessary, some white top, it's everything that is not the water. oh so and then from that we extract the cellphones and then the cellulose that we extract look like these pretty much so it's like paper. yeah. yeah. i yeah. touch a slide. so. 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. okay. so it's like it looks very

amazing on you are in spite that has already made a name for itself. it's the size, especially, and 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 food for your, your company, your vision. and it's a pleasure to all your clients and halls meeting with other people. then also just work by you. so surrounded by kasanya is a port to see in east and sicily. many residents still depend on fishing for their livelihoods from and because of 1st it's not fall to the portal. i would say the fish small kids, the,

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 planning 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 the children and adults, they come and watch your, your, your show. but on maint downloaded it. we have a very broad rapids for, from current engine ethics of suit to shakespearian tragedies or 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. the sicilians maintain a special bond with moma at now. then it named the tourist active volcano in europe . broken ologist to set pay salon. no. takes me up the mountain. we stopped sink atanya in glittering sunshine. the

codes go into the car and drive back down the mountain side. we're headed for the national institute for diaz, physics info 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 a sporadic lava display to remind us of that fact the disease and the same total injury was where all the money to activity over. they see them, what kind of so not 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 i'll sit down because we'd set it up on our meters. we are taking savings

the lot of people ask 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. it's vital and harassment child the one the response, you know, well, i'm off of you and saw a few on this that one uh, the association stopped their work. okay. and that's what's up to the association emerged in 2004, initially by tom. so when it goes to university, friends decided they wanted to open a bonus. you also mentioned it up to tom. they said,

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 is probably going down, but that doesn't mean we should be dropping off god. after all, even if it's no fix, doting, anyone in the mafia is trying to set its 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. now do you ever know know most 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,
