“The flag of Sicily (Sicilian: Bannera dâ Sicilia) (Italian: Bandiera siciliana) was first adopted in 1282, after the successful Sicilian Vespers revolt against Charles I of Sicily. It is characterized by the presence of the triskelion (trinacria) in its middle, the (winged) head of Medusa and three wheat ears. The three bent legs allegedly represent the three points of the triangular shape of the island of Sicily itself.”

“My motherland Sicily is an island which lies between mainland europe and africa, volcano and sea, ancient myths and crime news, private space and no man’s land, the family and everybody else. My motherland Sicily is an island in which beauty and obscenity go hand in hand, in a kind of “consecrated harmony”.
