Podcast #6 - Sicily

Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean sea and one of the twenty Italian regions. At the International Travel Expo, I met dr. Jerry Pilarski, an American professor who moved to the city of Trapani in Sicily more than two decades ago. In this interview, Jerry gives us a great summary of what Sicily has to offer to tourists.
