FYI, Sicily is a separate country. It is the island just off the "toe" of the boot of Italy. No Italian would refer to himself as Sicilian,and vice-versa. I'm Northern Italian and when I was growing up, my Grandmother would warm me about playing with the Sicilian kids in our neighborhood. She would tell me that if I had an argument with one of them,all of them would attack me,even kids who didn't know the guy I had the beef with. There is no love lost between the two countries.
