Being from the top left of Europe and having suffered the consequences of making bad assumptions about weather in Italy in winter ("It's Italy, must be warm") I'd always check.

For example, you might quite easily freeze to death at the top of Mount Etna! (And/or burned to death).

Actually I got it from Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon - I had no idea Arethusa was a water nymph :-)

I do quite fancy visiting Sicily & Syracuse though!
