Sicilian Regionalism

Sicilian Regionalism is a movement advocating for greater autonomy or independence for Sicily, an island in Italy. It emphasizes Sicily’s unique history, culture, and identity, seeking to preserve its traditions, language, and economic interests. The movement often arises from feelings that the island's needs and concerns are overlooked or underrepresented within Italy's centralized government. While some supporters push for full independence, others want enhanced regional powers. Overall, Sicilian Regionalism reflects a desire for self-determination and recognition of Sicily’s distinct regional character within the broader Italian state.
