Yes, it's "See-chee-lya" with the accent on the 2nd syllable ("chee"). As far as I know (Italian is my native language), in Sicilian they say and pronounce it just the same. Sicilian dialect is different from standard Italian, but it's the words and the accent that are different.The pronunciation rules are the same.

Being Italian myself I will tell you my experience, as in what people assume or say about me. 1. That we have a bad temper (true in my case) 2. That we are jealous 3. That we are mean 4. That we are passionate lovers (true in my case, I love - love & sex, and if I love you I absolutely adore you, and I either love you to death or hate you there is no in between) 5. That we always wear black (true in my case) 6. That we are fat, cook and eat all day 7. That our fathers or brothers will kill them 8. That we are loud 9. That we yell all the time 10.That our husbands sit around in wife beaters all day 11. That we have lots of kids 12. That we are religious

Being sicilian I can say you that "Sicilia" is NOT pronounced in the same way in italian and in sicilian.
In standard italian it is pronounced "see-CHee-lee-ah"
In sicilian it is pronounced "see-SHee-lee-ah"
This also happens when we speak italian but we obviously have our distinctive accent...most people in central and southern italy pronounce the "c" between vowels like a "sh" sound, whereas in standard italian the correct pronunciation is "ch".
