the tradition that a citrus fates has long been grown in this 1st child reach. and let's see if i can help with the winter home. the is my find myself with an orange conversation. this made it like a lemon, but it's an orange things i'm going to jump right in because i want to make myself useful. and i've got the right food, so the job way too big. so little effective, effective around $1500000.00 tons of citrus tray to produce every year on sicily, organic farm and play the cardinality hovers around $100000.00 kilos of our inches . no, just in the province disc atanya between other preferences as well. tell me what a special about the outlines of he out on sicily. let's pretend he thought of this region special to use the blood orange inside the fruit. there was this intense red

color. okay, that's typical for this region. so for the area around cataneo and close to aetna, vanya, this is because the mountain causes temperatures tend to change quickly. they wanna send the strong difference between day and night for the colors, the orange, and all the. okay, if i stick a let on to see what all you know to your file, all your orange us and what does it mean for the region? we've got a rather special distribution channel and we sell to acquisition groups. or in other words, private individuals who joined forces. could you develop a relationship with the products they're buying and these are almost always organic . our farming methods have been exclusively organic since 1992. my father started it and my brother and i carry on the traditional, we really believe it's the future.

if i think it's time for me to try, one of these are inches to decide pick to myself. so say it smells amazing. it's very g. c. and suites and says it's delicious. but what's about the inevitable bit of 5? you wouldn't believe it, but someone who runs the city has come up with a really innovative way to put them to use this product. guitar here is more than just an apple to real way to get to the beach. and in december it can get pretty cold. here. i'm here to meet and the rica, elena. company, orange. fine. but it's based in an old collapse. so in the old town. yeah, hi, nice to meet to meet you. thank you for acquiring my pleasure. okay. told me about

10 used to go and recount into connie came up with the idea of combining 2 iconic italian products, citrus fruit send fashion. you take the orange and you squeezy. and what you have left is pretty much 50 percent of the original way. so what we thought is a way to thrust for this by products into something meaningful for the fashion industry. and there's a family of materials that are called manmade. so what else like fiber and they all contain sunroof, as a comb frame for the semester, the necessary some white top, it's everything, there is no water. oh so and then from that we had struck the settings and then the cellulose. then we extract that looked like these pretty much so it's like paper. yeah, yeah. touch a slide suck. yeah, exactly. we saw a lot of things here. i think it's a top or something. yeah. how does it? that's all. yeah. and we have a scar here as the cops golf. yeah. okay. so it's like it looks very

nice. the new orange fine, but has already made a name for itself. it supplies freshly and companies across the spectrum with the seemingly endless supply of rule material on hand. there's still plenty of scope the development. wow. and that's the most casanya you can see from here. and by the way, you can see people when you walk on a place like this was amazing view, you get more inspiration than i think it's a fluid for your, your company, your vision. and it's a pleasure to all your clients and holds meeting with other people and also just work by you. so surrounded by kasanya is a port city in eastern sicily. many residents still depend on fishing for their livelihoods from and because of fast, it's not fall to the port, it would say the fish small kids, the,

the sea food looks irresistible. for us. i find myself drone to something else. to sicilian men. thing in the launch. uh huh. that screws artichoke. filled with garlic and parsley. okay. okay. you can just eat it like that's good. good. all just the the cathedral square with the blacks now that rock addison, tis the hoss of the city. old, the main shopping streets find out from here. the people are they are through is

the going all shitty. i was fortunate enough the color and the wonderful arts from my grandparents a scene that'd be cool and ever since i'm a small hot, passionate about my art forgot to of my 1st experience on stage was that the money on the person got to move the public warming the history of the system is pure drama and few contented stories as well as the daily napoli, ketani his most famous family of public chairs. the need soon theater in the system. it began around the year 1813. so yet it flourished until the arrival of the cinema television in the 1966 on the leak, which means that was the beginning of a crisis while that's her family survive total, 8 months to the tenacious. and that's that, that's kind of my grand parents being on the k. no, we determined not to give way to the looming monstrosity that was television data,

not the least you own it. for generations. local children have grown up planning about this just sent in the middle ages. very familiar with the heroes and heroines to check in and let you know. oh, we have here, children and adults, they come and watch your, your, your show. boy. now what i meant, i've downloaded it, we have a very broad rapids for from current engine ethics of suit to shakespearian tragedies, or 6 next week we're presenting a very special text on mobile devices. not appropriate. can truly do anything to be able to utilize the sicilian, maintain a special bond with moma at now. then it named the tourist active volcano in europe . broken ologist to set pay salon. no. takes me up the mountain. we stopped sink atanya in glittering sunshine. the,

at 3000 meters above sea level, it's a completely different picture. the, what kind of a rupture was kind of what happened to the people in cub, tonya. and what are the 2nd to us on demand. so obviously the, all the kind of that option, one thing is very, very low off to do that option web dilemma for those can reach and the doubts that anyway. since 20. yeah. see, we have a very decent, astonishing gets, but to see about option about the effect is not the so strongest of the society, the effect, these are the dash, the full out in the, in the town. and so rounding guy to talk about that kind of explosive activity, the last few hours that he quite winds the up, the yes and i've had enough light. we just asked if the codes go into the car and drive back down the mountain side. we're headed for the national institute

for the physics and so can knology to what's known as the war room. he is scientists keep a close eye on aetna. it's one of the world's most active volcanoes and puts on a sporadic novel display to remind us of that fact the disease and the same total injury was where all the money to activity over they succeed in what kind of salt. nope, just economics also move kind of strongly and also of about and says make activity . in fact of the cc, it is monitoring 24 hours, 7 days. and you show me this monitoring thing. but what's the out here we go, i can and i'll sit down, we go. so we set it up on our meters. we are taking savings by saving the life

behavior of economics from level com. so add a thing here at a boss to try to for the cost and a day by day is apply that to you here in sicily, cause it's not my my, it's not the yeah. why? if you born here, me, when you go open your eyes, the face of the thing searching you spot. so we get off with this huge mounting to us out for the rest of the life. so it's something like, i'm the to me my my now with a very cold experience and i'm glad to be heading back to miles and mediterranean, climbed to palermo to be precise. so my next meeting i have to travel across the island from the east to its capital city, the almost 700000 people live in palermo.

for a long time, it was seen as the strong cold of the sicilian mafia until popes of the population started to push back the. the 2 men you see behind me on the facade is not building giovanni fi coordinate and how low both city. no. the 2 judges supposed organized crime on this island and paid for it with that night. i do see him leading up with the in the historic center of palermo, i meet key out true from the mc mfc and movement deal. so more and more business people are refusing to pay protection money to the mass here and then making those secrets of it that pushing. because in the shop windows, the people asked us today to it's

about the mafia. yeah. what do you think is behind this customization? unload aussies. so the question yes, unfortunately that's true. and it is tiny detrimental to those who are trying to fight against the mafia every day. very often the nation emanates from stories and books and movies. the godfather, for example, but there's nothing charming or glamorous about the mafia funding. the mafia is violent and harassment child the one the response. you know, well, i'm off of you and saw a few on this that one does the association stuff that work. okay, and that's what's up to the association emerged in 2004, initially by chance when a go through university, friends decided they wanted to open a bong. she had also mentioned it up to tom. they said, how are we going to deal with the most fuels the who come to demand extortion money

from us from the store? we prepared to pay the phone, so was clearly note and we'll discuss the forgot it. that is supposed to know. do you, pete? so means farewell pete. so or extortion money. yeah, it would show has been involved with the initiative since the student days. now she works as a tool guide showing to risk the of the pin number without the mafia. we meet valentino a shelf though. now who owes they refuses to pay the peach, so i saw the official logo by there. did you ever have problems with the math? you're coming to you and say, hey, go, i think you have to pay for it? no, no, no, no. he's never had any problem having the logo in the store gaz these they bought off at best bet. so we've never had any issues with some of the needs of the genetics, any killed g of thing, but i saw new generations opening and running businesses in sicily today have a different mentality. and that's why they're not paying. unfortunately,

there's no way of knowing how many are actually paying the most probably going down, but that doesn't mean we should be dropping off god. after all, even if it's not like starting anyone, mafia is trying to not it's dominance in other ways. it's remarkable. housing in tina and many other business people in sicily taking a stand against the mafia. tragedies, tacoma, daily and the poor to spell m. o and across the region as a whole. the mediterranean sea is now the world's deadliest, the crossing. last you ever know know? most 1600 people died or went missing, trying to reach your rep from africa. the mattress palermo, deluca orlando, allows rescue vessels to duck in the city,

view because we have the migrant in front of release impediments, but for you or with the migration, i'm not like the pixies up there. okay. i made a real decision between who was wondering palermo. yes. would that would. that's really important more. yeah, sorry for you. yeah. but for my, for my, this is not a part of okay, you really level what do we do when we say you up like a blog that we had told them that the very easy we are proud to leave in this part of the war and the we believe that meet the radio is not the see is a is not the se dividing the people that comes and then what time did you leave with the confidence that the people can be able to meet? so when you come in, let them know will select all. now i am traveling out of the presence
