Biancavilla
Italy, officially the Italian Republic or Repubblica Italiana, is a Southern European country comprising of the Po River valley, the Italian Peninsula and the two largest islands in the Mediterranean Sea, Sicily and Sardinia. It is shaped like a boot and for this reason Italians commonly call it lo Stivale, the boot or, due to its prevalent peninsular geographical nature, la Penisola, the Peninsula.
Inhabitants of Italy are referred to as Italians. Their official language is Standard Italian, descendant of Tuscan dialect and a direct descendant of Latin. The word Italy is derived from the Homeric Aeolic word which means bull. Italy is subject to highly diverse weather conditions in autumn, winter, and spring. The country has the fifth-highest population density in Europe at 193 persons per square kilometer. Today, despite regional variations in the form of accents and vowel emphasis, Italian is fully comprehensible to most throughout the country.
Biancavilla is a town in the Province of Catania, Sicily. In spite of its tiny size, it has been significant for the Cosa Nostra. Sicily known as Sicilia in Italian and Sicilian in Greek is an autonomous region of Italy and the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. La Cosa Nostra which means our thing or this thing of ours in Italian is a worldwide alliance of criminals, linked through both familial as well as conspiratorial ties that is devoted to pursuing crime and protecting its members.
