Sicily is Italy's most agricultural region with rich vineyards and orchards thriving in the fertile volcanic soils of Mount Etna, the tallest active volcano in Europe. Greek colonies established in the eighth century B.C., left ruined temples and theaters that are now some of the island's most popular tourist attractions.
