the tradition at a citrus phase has long been grown in this 1st heil region. let's see if i can help with the winter home. the reason i 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 a little effective, effective around $1500000.00 tons of citrus fruit to produce every year on sicily, organic farm, and play the killing audi. hobbies around 100000 kilos of our inches. know just in the province of cataneo, between other provinces as well. tell me what a special about the outlines of here on sicily. let's pretend he thought he was this region special to use the blood orange inside the fruit. there was this

intense red color that's typical for this region. so for the area around the cataneo and close to aetna, vanya, this is because the mountain causes temperatures tend to change quickly. they want to end this strong difference between day and night. the colors, the orange, and all the okay, if i stick a lot 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. we sell to acquisition groups or in other words, private individuals who join forces that you develop a relationship with the products they're buying. and these are almost always organic and our farming methods have been exclusively organic since 1992. my father started and my brother and i carry on the tradition, we really believe it's the future

if i think it's time for me to try, one of these are inches this i picked to myself to say it smells amazing. it's very g c and suites and says it's delicious. but what about the inevitable bits 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 faced in an old plot. so in the old town. yeah hi, nice to me to meet you. thank you for a price. my pleasure. okay. hold of me about 10 years ago and began to colleague

came up with the idea of combining 2 iconic italian products, citrus fruit send function. 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 trust for despite products into something meaningful for the fashion industry. and there's a family of materials that are called manmade cellulosic fiber, and they all contain sunroof, as a complement rate for the semester, the necessary some white top, it's everything that is not the water. oh so and then from that we extract the settings and the cellulose. that we extract look like these pretty much so it's like paper. yeah, yeah. i touch a slide. so 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 this phillips and to escape the development. wow. and that's the most casanya you can see from here. and by the side of that, where 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 beauty, kasanya is a put to see in east and 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 to fish small kids 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. does that include the 2 judges supposed organized crime on this island on page 4? it with then i do see him leaving 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. yeah. and then making those secrets of is 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 way 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, 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 it goes to university, friends decided they wanted to open a bomb. she had also mentioned it up to tom. they said, how are we going to deal with the must fuels the who come to demand extortion money

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, a mafia is trying to not it's dominance in other ways. it's remarkable. housing and tina and many other business people in sicily taking a stand against the mafia, tragedies, tacoma, daily and the poor to spell them and across the region as a whole. the mediterranean sea is now the world's deadliest the crossing. no sir, no, no mist, 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,
