Sicily

 The early Roman name for Sicily was Trinacria because of its triangular shape.  Today this island is an autonomous part of Italy but has a rich history and distinct culture of its own.  A semester in Sicily is full of opportunities to make friends, discover foods, and experience a new way of life.
