Sicily, an island located at the southernmost part of Italy, is even further south than Sardinia.
Covering an area of 25,700 square kilometers with a coastline of 1,484 kilometers, it is the largest island in the Mediterranean, with a population of about 5 million.
At the southernmost tip of the island, it faces Tunisia across the sea, a distance of just over a hundred kilometers.
Like many others, Tang Long from China, recognized the name of this island from a widely famous Italian movie, "Malena."
Monica Bellucci's enchanting figure in the movie was the initial enlightenment into puberty for many young boys.
Compared to the highly industrialized United Kingdom and Germany, southern Italy exudes more of the pastoral charm of small towns.
The sea breeze brought a salty and damp smell, and the high temperature of 31 degrees penetrated the pores of every Inter player, causing beads of sweat to appear on many foreheads.
"Achuu!"
