Long referred to as the football at the end of the boot of Italy, the Mediterranean island of Sicily has suffered further indignity after Italy’s national carrier, Alitalia, removed it from its maps in an in-flight magazine. According to a BBC report, a passenger told the Italian newspaper, Corriere della Sera, that she noticed Sicily was missing while she was on a flight to the island.
The magazine’s Editor, Aldo Canale apologised to Sicily, blaming the error on a printing mistake. “We have run lots of editions on the beauty of Sicily and we would never dream of eliminating it from maps of Italy,” he was quoted saying.
