The largest island of the Mediterranean has always been a complicated place with a fraught relationship to the Italian mainland.

For example, the linguistic differences between the two are substantial, as Sicilian is practically its own language, rather than just a dialect.

In the 18th century, Italy was still divided into smaller states, but differently than during medieval times when the political entities were independent and were flourishing economic and cultural centers almost unrivaled in Europe.
