The winters there are probably more bearable than here in Germany.
Can only recommend it to you But about the weather: it depends on where you go. In my village, there is also snow from time to time. The houses are also not modern. Sure, there is heating, but not every room has a radiator. Most of the time it's just electric heating or - if you're lucky - there's air conditioning in the house.
In culinary terms, a trip to Sicily is definitely worthwhile. Anyone who thinks that Italian cuisine only consists of pizza, pasta and lasagna is very much mistaken ^^ Every region also has different specialties to offer, as in every country. In Sicily you will find many dishes that have an oriental touch.
The culture is also interesting. Sure, it's Christian, but it's also somewhat oriental. The reason for this is that Sicily was conquered many times and these people then integrated their culture and food into the country.
The nature is beautiful. You can't compare the summer with the German summer. Where I live in Middle Franconia, it's extremely humid - you'd think you were in the Amazon or something. In Sicily, on the other hand, the summer is dry. The thermometer shows a few degrees higher, but that's not a bad thing. I find the temperature there much more bearable than here (at least the last few years).
Not everything is perfect there. The infrastructure is not so good, so I would really rent a car there. The traffic feels 5 times worse than in Germany. I do see people here who can't drive and endanger others, but it feels like every second driver there xD Apart from that, Italians don't really speak English either, so as a tourist there - without knowledge of Italian - you're in a bit of a pickle.

Sounds really good.
A former work colleague is from Sicily and she also praised it very highly.
As a child I spent 6 summer vacations in Grado, great memories. Of course, the northern Adriatic and Sicily are two different things.
But Italy is beautiful!
