"Little man in a big world, eight-year-old Calogero Amoroso shows off his double-breasted best for a wedding in Sciacca. Once known for its large families, Italy now has the industrialized world's lowest birthrate. Sicily's rate, though higher than that of the nation as a whole, has fallen by almost half since 1950. Sicilian women today have an average of 1.7 children."
—From "Sicily—Italy Apart," August 1995, National Geographic magazine
