SOLARINO:
Solarino
(San Paulu in Sicilian) is a city in eastern Sicily, near
Syracuse.
Monuments:
Sipala
Palace (eighteenth century), is located along the Corso Vittorio
Emanuele and the interior has been transformed into a bed and
breakfast
the
story: The
history of the origins of Solarino is shrouded in mystery and is
often the boundary between reality and legend, due to a fire in
1944 destroyed local
archives, making it somewhat difficult historical reconstruction.
Although
there are many archaeological evidence of human presence
in
today's municipal area, since prehistoric times, the foundation
of the first settlement occurred only in the eighteenth century
[11] at the hands of the Prince of Pantelleria Giuseppe Antonio
Requisenz.
Place
name: The
meaning of the name is unclear Solarino.
According
to a thesis, may derive from the Sicilian sularinu, which means
"lonely", perhaps because
reported
to the church that was originally isolated from the first
settlement; according
to other authors, [18] [19] however, the name is of Latin origin
deriving
from the word solaris or solarium which means "sunny",
referring to the geographical position of the territory.
A
foundation and confirmation of this theory,
the authors pose the feedback with the name of one of the
districts of Solarino, Soliardo, from Latin solis (= sun) ardeo
(= burn, inflamed, I shine), that is, "I shine or burn to
the sun", and then " sunny place ".

PALAGONIA:
PALAGONIA:
(Palagùnia
or Palaunia in Sicilian)
is
a town in the province of Catania, which is part of the calatino
site at the southern edge of the plain of Catania.
Palagonia
develops about 200 meters above sea level.
The
city, known for its vast citrus groves, has 16,429 inhabitants
(source Demo Istat March 2009). The
site has been inhabited since prehistoric times;
is
proved by the discovery of a Palaeolithic settlement near the
present town. It
seems that Palikè, near present Palagonia, was founded in
453 BC by Ducezio who made it the capital of his
state. At
the time of the Sicilians, Palikè was probably already
become an important political and religious center.
A
Palikè was located a famous shrine.
Tradition
has it that the gods called Palici, object of veneration by the
Sicilians, were born from the sulphurous waters of Lake Naftia of
volcanic origin. The
temple dedicated to them was probably located on the shores of
the lake itself; in
the temple rituals were practiced and obscure prophecies.
Municipal
Archives of Palagonia: A
fire destroyed the town hall in 1952 and with it the archive.
There
remain about 490 pieces (1866-1955) and vital records since 1866

History
of Solarino
From
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Solarino,
Sicilian town in the province of Syracuse, has a long history
of several centuries, sinking and confuses its roots in the
legendary visit to San Paolofece 'oppidum site near the
present town, [1] during his stay in Syracuse in 61 AD [2]
Historically,
however, the village was founded in the eighteenth century.
The
origins
The necropolis of
Cava Rivettazzo the first evidence of human presence in the
territory solarinese
While
the first form of human settlement in the area dates back
alPaleolitico top (third millennium BC), as may be inferred
from the discovery of a necropolis in the locality Cava
Rivettazzo, 4 km (1 km as the crow flies) approximately,
north today's urban center, by Paolo Orsi in the early '900;
the
first settlement of which there are traces, however, is much
more recent and covers the period greek going from fourth to
third century BC, as shown by archaeological excavations, a
few kilometers to the east of the country, in places Cozzo
Collura , the site identified as the Well of the Church, flat
area and, in the past, infested by malaria.
The Pozzo di San
Paolo in Cozzo Collura, solarinese first settlement dating
back to the greek
The
first official news on Solarino, however, you have only since
1296, the year in which it appears, in the role of the feudal
lords synthesized by De Spucches [3], as baronial feud of
Syracuse Gutierre de Nava. After
several changes of ownership, December 15, 1656, was invested
with the fief, the noble family of Catalan Requisenz, arrived
in Sicily nel1453 with the troops of Alfonso V of Aragon.
The
April 25, 1760, Don Giuseppe Antonio Requisenz, "Prince
of Pantelleria, Count of Buscemi and Baron delfeudo
Solarino", obtained the licentia populandi by King
Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies and made to
flow in propriofeudo: the population of the nearby village of
well of the Church, for evading the frequent malarial
infections, the inhabitants of the farm Trigona and displaced
persons of Siracusa, Noto, and Canicattini Bagni who had
escaped alterremoto the Val di Noto in 1693, thereby creating
the first town which he called "Earth St. Paul in the
feud of Solarino "[4]. The
authorization to populate the fiefs, in fact, were made by
Regie concessions that were intended, through the
establishment of new rural municipalities, to ensure the
feudal nobility, on the one hand, the preservation - in fact
- of your domain on the lands and, secondly, to create more
wealth for the population, but at the same time, also to
increase the census, the taxes and income of Customs and
Excise [5]. The
Land of San Paolo Solarino, was constituted as comunello
(term used in the Bourbon bureaucracy to indicate today
fraction) of the City of Syracuse Capovalle [6].
Municipal autonomy to
the Second World War
Requisenz Palace
(1759), the first building constructed in Solarino.
Since
its establishment, the Comunello had a big population
increase due mainly to the presence of settlers as well as
the facts come from different places of Sicily, also from
Genovesato [7], Piedmont and especially from Malta [8].
Presence
that is to be found both surnames of clear Maltese (Mallia,
Gozzo, Cianci) and Piedmont (Adorno) that still are present
in the Municipality; both
by coronimi Cassara (surname Maltese), Maltese, Vizzinisi
(Sicilian word to indicate the inhabitants of Vizzini),
Calancon wind (calanco properly is a particularly hilly
landscape delMonferrato and Ligurian Apennines), Cozzo Modica
(Modica, common in the province of Ragusa).
There
were then, among the first inhabitants, even families from
Morocco ('Maronitii ") and the Castelli Romani ("
Terrae Collium prope Romam habitatores'), as can be seen from
the Parish Register of Baptisms of the Mother Church [9].
In
1766, the Land of St. Paul already had 235 inhabitants, the
number nearly tripled after little more than twenty years;
and
in 1820 the founder asked the King of Naples permission to
"elevate San Paolo Solarino to the rank of an
independent town" [10].
Extraordinary
meeting of the Municipal Council and informal Solarino, held
December 20, 2007 as part of the celebrations for the
anniversary of municipal 180º.
By
Royal Decree n. 1687
of December 20, 1827, King Francis I of the Two Sicilies,
granted to Comunello San Paolo Solarino to separate from
Syracuse, to constitute Shared particular (ie, independent)
having the same name, so the sanctioning administrative
autonomy. This
autonomy, however, was not immediate, since they first had to
resolve the inevitable economic, logistical and
administrative related to the division of the territory
between the Cape Town-valley of Syracuse and the newborn San
Paolo Solarino. The
decision took place July 14, 1828, but the copy of the report
was sent to the mayor only July 29, 1930, so until then,
Solarino was in fact met again in Syracuse. [11]
The
population of the new municipality was predominantly rural
and consists mostly of small landowners, and the remainder
from agricultural laborers, artisans and small traders;
consequently,
popular activities were agriculture and lapastorizia.
Such
set-economic-social, which survived until the First World
War, is perfectly reflected in the urban structure of the
country. Until
the beginning of the last century, in fact, most of the
houses, except for the palaces (Requisenz, Conti Mezio and
Sipala) consisted of poor houses on the street level, with
one or two rooms, lacking the most basic services Toilet.
In
1850 was introduced the public lighting by kerosene lamps;
but
to wait until 1922 for the electrification of the same.
In
the second half of the nineteenth century, was planned the
Piazza del Plebiscito and the adjacent streets.
In
1925, finally, they began work on the incanalizzazione
rainwater and the construction of the water system.
At
the beginning of the twentieth century, a considerable rate
of emigration especially regarding the United States of
America and Australia, where many communities sprang
solarinesi (New Britain, Connecticut, in Paterson [12] in New
Jersey and in the suburb of Melbourne, Moreland, in
Australia) but also Latin America, Central Europe
(Switzerland and Germany) and the regions of northern Italy
[13]; that
failed to be balanced by immigration of 4,000 refugees in the
Syracuse friulanigiunti after the First World War, most of
whom settled in Solarino [14].
Of
particular importance was the role of Solarino during the
Second World War. Already
between September and October 1939, the campaigns around the
Hospital Vasquez were chosen for effettuarvi a training camp
of the I and IVbattaglione of the 75th Infantry Regiment;
the
outbreak of hostilities, the town was affected by the
presence of more than 1,300 displaced people mainly from
Syracuse, Augusta and so-called "Overseas Territories",
namely from former African colonies; in
May of 1943, then, Umberto of Savoy, then general of Army
Group South there mustered troops from Palazzolo, Buccheri,
Vizzini and Grammichele that had been deployed along the road
to Floridia; Finally,
between 11 and 13 July of that year, near the village was
fought one of the bloodiest battles that affected the
Syracuse area "[15]. At
the end of the fighting, the village, fortunately did not
appear particularly damaged. Had
collapsed the roofs of some houses and there were holes
caused by the bursting of grenades, but overall remained
intact both the church and the Town Hall. In
1944, however, just this last was set on fire by a group of
young draft dodgers, resulting in the destruction of the
municipal archives, for which reason, you do not have very
precise information about the early years of life of the City
and the border between history and tradition, in some ways it
is very labile.
The Battle of Solarino
(11-13 July 1943)
Plaque commemorating
the 50th Anniversary of the Battle of Solarino.
On
July 10, 1943, after starting from Palazzolo Acreide at a
time of Syracuse, in order to counter the advance of the
British, the 75th Infantry Regiment, led by Colonel Francis
Ronco, took refuge in Solarino - nearest town - after he
stumbled in the British aircraft that began bombing the
troops on the march. Reached
the company cyclists, stationed right in the latter
municipality, Colonel Ronco ordered the same company to
continue to Floridia, but crossing the ponteMulinello, the
vehicle that preceded the cyclists was targeted by allies
shooters positioned on the heights over the bridge, and so it
fell back on Solarino, where in the meantime had arrived the
men of the mobile group D from Misterbianco [16].
The
next morning the news came that departments motorized British
had already occupied Floridia. On
11 July, in reinforcing the column of the 75th Infantry
Battalion was also sent mortaidella division "Napoli"
[17] .. At 6, the column stood between Solarino and Floridia,
resumed the march to Syracuse, while armored units the
British were facing and almost half an hour later, the
fighting began. Increasing
the pressure English, to avoid being surrounded, Colonel
Ronco ordered the retreat on the heights of Cugno Randazzo,
who better to lend for the defense.
On
July 12, they were made to converge on Floridia
some British troops withdrawn from the front of Priolo
Gargallo; while
other allied troops from Noto and Avola had already crossed
Palazzolo, had already arrived at the homes of former fiefdom
Melissa (7 km from Solarino) and the column Ronco had to face
an opponent on two fronts [18]. At
4 in the morning of July 13, began the final attack enemy
infiltration hips were so profound as to threaten the
connection between the positions of the infantry and the
artillery group, for which the withdrawal was a must.
At
around 13 the whole area of Cugno Randazzo was invaded by
artillery fire and the Italian reaction was gradually
diminishing, until they ceased completely after about two
hours [19]. During
the later stages of the battle lost his life Lieutenant
artillery Antonio Santangelo Fulci, which, nel1949 would be
given the gold medal for military valor "for strong
evidence of military skill" (Decree Dellacorte Counts of
07 / 09/1949); while
Colonel Ronco who managed to rescue the battle flag of the
75th Infantry Regiment (which is now kept in the shrine of
the Vittoriano, in Rome), as well as the few survivors of the
same regiment was awarded the silver medal for military valor
. [20]
Fifty
years since that event, July 13, 1993, [21] in the presence
of associations of fighters, veterans solarinesi, civil
authorities and a squad of honor Infantry Division Aosta,
were laid two wreaths d ' laurel, one at the War Memorial and
the other at the foot of an ancient olive tree, Contrada
Cugno Randazzo. Also
in that location, near the chapel dedicated to Our Lady of
Mount Carmel, on the edge of the highway 124, was discovered
a plaque that was placed by the City Council, in memory of
those events. In
the same event, was awarded honorary citizenship in memoriam,
to General Francesco Ronco, who died in 1978.
From the Second World
War to the present day
The wayfinding
anti-racket, the first case in Italy, of a message like that.
Until
the end of World War II, Solarino was one of many
agricultural countries of the province of Syracuse with a
craft just sufficient for local consumption.
This
situation lasted until the sixties, when the birth of the
petrochemical Syracuse in the stretch of coast between Targia
and Augusta, most campaigns were abandoned and Solarino,
thanks to its geographical location, equidistant from both
the industrial clusters that the capital Province,
experienced the phenomenon of immigration with a consequent
increase in population, which led him to be, currently, the
third largest urban center of the province (after Syracuse
and Floridia) for population density (566 inhab. / km²).
Among
the eighties and nineties, the whole province of Syracuse was
hit by a resurgence of extortion [22] who did not spare even
Solarino. [23] Thus, in 1995 was established between the
various traders, the Association anti-racket and three years
later, he was signed a memorandum of understanding between
the association and the City, for the award by the latter of
local interior of the City Hall to be used to counter
anti-racket. [24] Finally, in 1999, to commemorate the event,
the City Council adopted an unprecedented initiative in
Italy: [25] at each entrance of the town was affixed to a
road sign which reported under the name of the country the
word 'common who said no to the racket. "
Another
date to remember in recent history solarinese was September
17, 2003. For
three days, the province of Syracuse was brought to its knees
by a violent flood struck the eastern Sicily, but the most
serious damage occurred just Solarino [26].
Only
in the first day, they were overwhelmed fifty cars, many
buildings suffered collapses, including elementary school and
some families had to take refuge on the roofs of the houses
because of the high water level "[27]. At
the end of the event weather turned damaged 80% of the road
network, was destroyed 70% of the drainage system and the
water and for days the country remained isolated from
neighboring towns, for the unavailability of the bridge and
the road to Diddino Syracuse and Palazzolo, and for the
interruption of the power line and telephone [28].
Also
in 2003, [29] on the basis of incentives prepared by the
regional law n. 30/2000
(so-called law Ortisi) has been suggested between the birth
of the Union of Municipalities and the nearby Solarino
Floridia, at the end of a collective management services
(including, municipal police, environment, public transport,
school lunch school), subject to the administrative autonomy
of the two local authorities. Assumptions
that resulted in 2010 [30], when the municipal councils of
the two countries have approved the memorandum and articles
of association [31] Union of Municipalities - Monti Climiti.

Palagonia
(Palagùnia or Palaunia in Sicilian) is a common
italianodi 16,429 inhabitants in the province of Catania in
Sicily.
In ancient times,
the name of the city was "Palica".
Located on the
southern edge of the plain of Catania, Palagonia develops
about 200 meters above sea level, and is known for its vast
citrus groves.
History
The municipality of
Palagonia in the province of Catania
The
site has been inhabited since prehistoric times;
is
proved by the discovery of a Palaeolithic settlement near the
present town. Seems
chePalikè, near present Palagonia, was founded by
Ducezionel 453 BC that made it the capital of
his state.
At
the time of the Sicilians, Palikéera probably already
become an important political and religious center.
A
Palikè was located a famous shrine.
Tradition
has it that the gods called Palici, object of veneration by
the Sicilians, were born from the sulphurous waters of Lake
Naftia of volcanic origin. The
temple dedicated to them was probably located on the shores
of the lake itself; in
the temple rituals were practiced and obscure prophecies.
Today
the lake, also called mofeta of Palici, not visible because
its gas is industrially exploited.
The
area is also installed a monitoring station gas flow exhaling
from soils of the Etna area, forming part of a network of 10
monitoring stations of the CO2 stream eCH4 and meteorological
parameters. The
stations are located on the flanks of the volcano and near
Mofeta of Palici for the study of geodynamics.
During
the Middle Ages the site fell under Norman rule.
Count
Roger, in 1169, inserted the feud and the territory within
the Archdiocese of Syracuse. Belonged
between the twelfth and fourteenth centuries to some of the
most important aristocratic families of Sicily (Alagona,
Ventimiglia, Passaneto, etc.). In 1407 Giacomo Gravina became
lord of the manor. From
then on the story of the city will be linked to the noble
house of Gravina-Cruyllas, until the death of Francesco Paolo
Gravina, eighth and last Prince of Palagonia, which occurred
in 1854.
Between
the late nineteenth and early twentieth century were built
some buildings of great architectural value neoclassical and
Art Nouveau. Among
these are the Palace Bridge in via Umberto, the family's home
the distinguished prof. Gaetano
Ponte, founder of the first chair in volcanology of Europe,
where among other things he had registered a geodynamic
observatory; Blandini
Palace, overlooking the Piazza Garibaldi, recently renovated
to house a small municipal museum; Palazzo
Politini Via Duca degli Abruzzi; Blandini
Palace (former home of the Ursulines) site plan Barresi,
birthplace of the brothers Giovanni and Gaetano Blandini,
respectively bishops of Agrigento and Noto.
Monuments
and places of interest
The
Hermitage of Santa Febronia
The
main monument of the city is the Hermitage of Santa Febronia,
basilica rock dating from the sixth-seventh century AD
located in the district Coste. It
is an environment most likely derived from an earlier
prehistoric tomb and that through several transformations,
was later used as a place of worship. The
back wall of the basilica, which houses the apse, on which
are painted the Christ Pantocrator, surrounded by an
Annunciation and four other figures in the background (dating
back to the fifteenth century); the
sides of the apse depicts the martyrdom of Saint Febronia and
San Bartolomeo, dating from the sixteenth and seventeenth
century; while
in the wall opposite the entrance are depicted: Saint Lucia,
a holy bishop, a praying angel surrounded by a round, St.
Agatha, St. Anastasia, and the Fall of these dating from the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This
wall is made even a second altar with niche
suitable to accommodate a likely icon, while the right wall
are carved the benches to sit during officiatura rites.
Among
one of the open windows on the wall perspective and the
fresco of Santa Febronia, you can see traces of a fresco
removed, depicting St. John the Baptist. At
the center of the environment from the floor descend through
the steps stone in a "T" in the walls of which are
formed the niches with the function of strainers for the
bodies of the monks after their death. The
process served to mummificarliparzialmente.
Another
access oratory is constituted by a scale stone on the back.
Every
year there is a procession in which the relics of Saint
Febronia, patroness of the city nicknamed 'Santuzzaviene
reach the hermitage.
The
hermitage is located 5 km east of Palagonia, the SS385
leading to Catania.
Rocchicella
The hill of the
district Rocchicella (now in the territory of Mineo), rises
in the Valley of Margi. It is easily accessible from the
highway Catania-Gela (SS 417), from the Catania-Caltagirone
(SS 385), or from the town of Palagonia, which is just over a
kilometer. Site of great historical and archaeological site
of human settlement since ancient times (12.000 / 10.000 BC),
as well as the center of the mystery cult of the gods Pali
(personification of boiling lakes of Naftia). It is mentioned
by classical Greek and Latin authors as home to both the
famous sanctuary of Palici, that the city of Palikè.
To visit the ruins dell'Estaterion and the Museum of the
archaeological remains found in the site.
Early
Christian Basilica of St. John
It is a unique
building which preserves the apse and some columns, dating
back to the seventh century AD Many small, it was not suited
to contain the faithful, so that we assume the possibility
that they would assist from the outside, in religious
services. The church had no real side walls but a light
curtain archeggiati within which were inserted doors that
were opened during services. Some documents of the
mid-sixteenth century, inform us of his membership in the
Order of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem.
Well
Blandini
With the
installation of the citrus groves, existing at the end of the
sixteenth century, were dug wells to find water needed to
cover the needs summer. Around the wells were built
structures, such as the well Blandini that with its more than
six meters high, dominating the surrounding plain. Outside of
the well there was a wit, a "noria", actuated by
animals for lifting water.

The economy of
Palagonia is mainly focused on the cultivation and marketing
of citrus fruit, mainly oranges, which are exported
throughout Europe enjoying considerable appreciation among
consumers for the somewhat unique characteristics and
organoleptic properties.
Transportation
Palagonia
is crossed by the SS385 that connects with Caltagirone and
Catania from which the city is respectively 30 and 52 km. A
few miles pass, the Highway 194 Ragusana connecting Ragusa to
Catania and the Highway 417 Caltagirone connecting Catania to
Gela. Links to various destinations are insured by suburban

Febronia (Nisibis, fourth century

Sibapolis, Nisibis (attualeNusaybin, province of Mardin in
southeastern Turkey, on the border with Syria). Is
venerated as a saint by Chiesecattolica, Coptic and
greek-orthodox.
Hagiography
Martyrdom of S.
Febronia - Mother Church Palagonia (CT), unknown author 800
Orphaned
at the age of two years he lived his life in one of those
Christian communities known, as we refer later to Nisibis
St Ephrem the Syrian, with the name "Daughters of the
Covenant", born between the mid inMesopotamia III
century and the beginning of the fourth century, which was
promoted in the city of Nisibis S. Plotinide. Here, under
the care of her aunt Brienna and religious Tomaide, grew in
virtue and doctrine, and soon became a great spiritual
guide for the sisters and the pagan women of the city.
Under
the tenth persecution launched by Emperor Diocletian is
captured and brought before a judicial Seleno. On 25 June
305, resisting the various enticements, including the one
to get married with young Lysimachus, nephew of the judge,
and heedless of the various threats, is sentenced
almartirio. His is remembered as one of the longest and
most deadly martyrdoms suffered by Christians of the time:
according to tradition was scourged and subjected to the
pains of the fire, scraped with iron combs, the breasts
were cut, hands and feet, gouged teeth and was finally
beheaded. In 363 the body is brought to Constantinople.
Later come to Trani, in Puglia, where up to '700 the saint
is venerated in the day June 25 with a motu proprio.
Remnants of the body from the town of Trani [1] are a
wooden reliquary of the '500 and a painting kept in the
Diocesan Museum.
Worship
His
cult saw a wide spread from East to West, mainly thanks to
the monks of the Byzantine rite. It is particularly
venerated in southern Italy: in Palagonia (CT), Patti (ME),
and Minori (SA), although with variations that would
legendary native of Patti and the name of Trofimena (a
Minor). [ 2] Although recent studies hagiographic
(particularly those of Paul Church and Reginald Gregoire)
have clarified the Enigma of Febronie, confirming them all
variations of the one and only Sibapoli Febronia of
Nisibis, the three locations that revere as Patron continue
to debate brightly on the subject; especially Patti and
Minor reject the thesis of Santa Nisibena in favor of the
oral tradition that the wants of Sicilian origin. A further
contribution on the historical origins of this enigmatic
Santa is given by the new study by Maria Stelladoro that
explores the complex set of issues revolves around the cult
that, from the ancient East to the West, particularly in
the three cities who venerate her as patron .
Wooden reliquary
of St. Febronia, eighteenth century. Diocesan Museum of
Trani.
His
cult spread in France, imported from Celestine monks,
remaining confined in monastic communities (many prior have
borne the name, also in various monasteries Italian). In
Milan, in Corso Garibaldi there are the remains of the
church of Santa Febronia; in the city existed in the '600
monastery entitled to it, as well as an altar at the church
of San Protaso. A Romanziol (hamlet. Noventa di Piave) is
the old Capital of s. Febronia, according to some scholars
dating back to the fourteenth century. A Trani, in Puglia,
where in the past was much venerated in the Cathedral
existed, until before the work carried out in 1837, a
chapel dedicated to her; still preserved in the Diocesan
Museum a valuable wooden reliquary of the XVIII century and
a painting that testifies before the custody of his
distinguished body at the metropolitan church of the city.
His relics are preserved, as well as in Palagonia (the
thumb of his right hand), Patti (fragments) and Minor (the
alleged body), also in Rome, at the church of San Carlo in
Catinari (head, therein transferred the ancient Church of
St. Paul), [3] while it is also depicted in one of the
statues of Bernini's colonnade in St. Peter's Square. A
body of Santa Febronia is also reported among the
twenty-five holy bodies kept in the church of San Giorgio,
a so-called Picture Gallery of the Seven Churches, in
Monselice (PD). A community of Sicilians from Patti,
emigrated to Hoboken, has also transplanted American city
in the worship of the Holy, He built a chapel and by
setting up the annual festival, which takes care of the
Society of Mutual Aid Pacts and Environment. Meanwhile, a
campaign of excavations conducted recently by the American
team led by Dr. Michael Fuller, found in the town of
Tuneinir (Turkey), in the places of origin of Santa, what
is reported as the tomb of Febronia and a marble reliquary
to contain a tooth, which is reflected in the story of the
Passion.
Is invoked for
protection from earthquakes, for the gift of rain, for
breast diseases. His attributes are the palm, the cross,
the book of the Gospel, sometimes even the pliers or the
sword, the latter to recall some stages of martyrdom.
The
Roman Martyrology celebrates the liturgical memorial June
25, the date on which is also known by the Coptic Church
and the greek orthodox church. The Ethiopian Church
venerates as the Cephronia, making memory on June 8.
Importantly, once the feast of Santa Febronia fell on 14
February, then converted to Valentine; and the same name as
the month of February is derived from februare (purify)
with specific reference to the ancient rites that were
celebrated first by the Romans in honor of the goddess
Febris, and subsequently translated into the Feast of St.
Febronia.

Palikè is an
Italian archaeological site. The archaeological site is
located in the resort Rocchicella, on a spur basalt near the
river valley Margi, near Palagonia, which is about 1 km,
although the beginning of the last century it was annexed to
the territory of the municipality of Mineo. The region has
recently acquired the area to open it to the public, also
creating a display area to exhibit the finds from the
excavations.
The news on the
ancient city are uncertain: it speaks Diodorus saying that was
refounded by Ducezio in 453 BC The city was founded on the
height of Palikè overlooking the plain where was the
ancient sanctuary of Palici, indigenous deities soon entered
in greek pantheon. According to many historians today
originates from the ancient Palikè Palagonia, whose
name would mean precisely "Palica Nea" ie the New
Palica. Since 1995 some excavations of the Superintendence of
Cultural and Environmental Heritage of Catania have
identified, in front of the cave that opens at the foot of the
rise, the presence of a series of archaeological layers that
come from the Mesolithic to 'Swabian age. Archaic age dating
of the oldest structures that can be attributed to the
sanctuary of Palici which is being rebuilt with monumental
structures such as porches and banquet hall in the fifth
century BC, probably thanks to the initiative of Ducezio,
Sicilian boss that would set its place of Alloy Sicilian town
just at the shrine of Palici. According to the myth greek gods
Palici would be born from the union of Zeus with the nymph
Talia: the temple would be built on the banks of the pond
mephitic, where they carried out certain rites by which the
priests performed divination and ordeals. Today the pond
Naftia not visible and its gases are exploited industrially.
Palici
From
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The
Palici are a pair of chthonic deities Sicilian Roman
mythology and to a lesser extent in Greek mythology. Are
mentioned in Ovid's Metamorphoses V, and 406 in Virgil [1]
(the latter speaks both of a temple near the river Simeto
Palici dedicated to both the nearby forest of Mars where the
Sicilian Arcente trained in the weapons son). Their cult is
centered around two small lakes that emitted sulfur vapors
near Palagonia and were associated with the geysers and the
underworld. Next to the shrine dedicated to the ponds
existed Palici, where it was founded the Sicilian city of
Palikè. In the sanctuary were practicing the oath
ordalico, the oracle and Asylum. The oath was happening
around the cavity from which flowed water jets. There, you
could make contact with the gods provided the arraigned
respected ritual. The swearing approached the cavity and
pronounced the oath, inscribed on a tablet, which was thrown
into the water, if not floated the man was considered
perjury and punishable by death or blindness. The oracle
indicated the gods and the kind of sacrifice necessary to
obtain the favor. Inside the sanctuary could find refuge
slaves abused by cruel masters. The latter could not take
away by force their servants, until they have secured with
an oath to Palici treating them humanely. The origin of the
mythology is not certain; a legend makes Palici sons Zeus,
or probably of Hephaestus, with the nymph Etna or Talia, but
others argue that Palici were sons of the god Sicilian
Adranos. The cult, in addition to the god Adranos, is
connected with that of the goddess Hyblaia. The myth of
Palici is told in the Women of Etna Aeschylus of which a few
fragments remain.

Location
Position of the
town of Rosolini in the province of Syracuse
Corporate website
Rosolini
(Rusalini in Sicilian) is an Italian town of 21,757
inhabitants [2] of the province of Syracuse, located in
the south-eastern Sicily.
Geography
Rosolini is 49
miles from Syracuse, and is located in the southwestern part
of the province. Located at the foot of the mountains Iblei
and straddles the provinces of Siracusa and Ragusa. Of the
town, which is mainly an agricultural center, is the oldest
part of the town, built in the early sixteenth century,
which is to mark the nineteenth century. Little remains of
the original nucleus of the center. Rosolini however, is
full of caves and ancient archaeological sites before the
greek-Roman domination.
The northern part
of the municipality of Rosolini is separate from the main
building and is in turn divided into two parts, united only
by a road. This is due to the legacy of the ancient
boundaries between the barons of the Val di Noto.
History
The coat of arms of
the city of Rosolini depicts an eagle with spread wings with
claws hooked and lying, surmounted by a crown fashioned of
gold, with the shield of the coat of arms of the principles
Moncada-Paternò on the chest and with a strip
containing the foot the words "Universitas Rosolinorum
Regi benefit" on a blue background.
The mythological
legends ascribe a direct descent from the god Vulcan, whose
son, escaped from Etna, founded the city. The vicissitudes
of history instead speak of families Platamone, Moncada,
Asmundo, Paterno. Regarding the name, this would be a
mixture of languages of the people who
succeeded to the domination of Sicily, which apparently
started by the Greeks who called this land with the name of
"Eloro", have given inspiration to the Romans who
renamed it the "Rus Elorinum" Rosolini from here.
It is more reliable and realistic instead of the name
"Rusalini" as it is said in dialect, is of Arabic
origin as indeed all the districts in the area. In fact,
when the Arabs conquered Sicily found a Byzantine Empire in
complete decay and it was not difficult for them to settle
peacefully in the area bringing the benefits of their
culture. Especially not stravolsero local traditions,
calling what was to be the place of Christian worship in the
area more important, in the literal translation of the
Arabic. In fact, the ancient settlement that the Arabs found
was located (and still exists) a Christian basilica carved
into the rock where they worshiped a cross. So the Arabs
respecting the local tradition did nothing but call in their
language and that is what they found: "Rus Salib'ni"
in Italian literally translates to "The Cave of the
cross." (See "On the origin of the name Rosolini
"Carmela and Ottaviano Perricone, published by Pro-Loco
in 1992) To confirm the Arabic origin of the name"
Rusalini "is to keep in mind that all the districts in
the area have so far names (although crippled centuries)
Arab type "Nar Balata" (water area) "twill
rinnici" (channel built by the Arabs to reclaim the
entire wetland area of the district) "Ranati",
"Stafenna", "Gisira", "reindeer"
and many other districts that Arabs identified and colonized
in their settlement in the area. So do not understand why
the main quarter "Rusalini" should get out of this
logic and take the name from an unidentified settlement
greek ("Eloro") where the suffix "Rus"
and non-existent archaeological evidence will frustrate this
attempt of interpretation. So it is to be considered more
truthful than the name of the city is of Arab origin.
Honorary
citizens
Are "Honorary
Citizen" of Rosolini: St. Aloysius Gonzaga (protector
of the city), St. Joseph, I fell Nassyria (The monument is
located in Piazza Giovanni Paolo II - Green Valley), Father
Roberto Masinda (originally from Congo), Nicholas Mannino
(founder and president of the Parliament of Legality).
Deli
From "maccu re
honeycombs" who ate the ancient Greeks, the
"capunatina" of Arab origin, the "tummali"
of Spanish food specialties typical rosolinesi denote the
origins of the population that has composite formation and
also reveal the fundamental basis from which .
Remember briefly
some typical specialties many of which today's young people
do not know, often dishes that are found in other parts of
the island, but that in each area have a "quid"
that characterizes them, such as garlic, onion , vinegar,
lemon, oregano, nutmeg, brandy, and that makes it a culinary
product typical of the country itself.
Still in the
childhood memories of many people there are some women, the
so-called "house of nuns", who prepared the
wedding lunches, dinners of mourning, "cunsuli",
or sweets for the festive period, the so-called sweet of
Ripon that were of exquisite workmanship and inimitable.
Some of their
recipes continue to be prepared for which the traditional
flavors are found intact in the dishes that we give the
basic ingredients. Soups meat dishes side dishes, cakes,
sweets and so integrate the modern kitchen of the place.
Among the soups are: "u 'ncucciatieddu" consists
frustoletti of durum wheat pasta cooked in a blend of
ricotta, water and bits of pumpkin boiled water; "Paste
ca muddica", pasta with breadcrumbs brustolita, oil,
garlic, pecorino cheese; "Ravioli", in square
panels wheat pasta stuffed with ricotta cheese, eggs and
marjoram, served with sauce of pork or veal, and finally,
"the maccarruna and cavatieddi" dough into small
pieces empty inside because they worked with a wire dry
grain ("usu"), or with a knitting needle "gouged"
with your fingers, then topped with a sauce of pork,
sprinkled with ricotta and baked.
Among the vegetable
soups include: "the honeycombs' nzincaredda",
broad beans, peeled and cooked in water tank dress with oil
and salt and that is accompanied with raw onion; "U
maccu lurdu", always beans cooked with chick peas,
beans, lentils and pork lard. The latter was the popular
dish typical of Shrove Tuesday and, finally, "the lolli
no maccu", rolls of dough mixed with "maccu"
made with beans peeled reduced cream.
Among the meat
dishes as well "or farsumauru" and "or iaddu
to gna minicoria", is particularly tasty "to
gnieddu eu ciaurieddu 'nfurnatu". This continues to be
one of the most common dishes as the entire territory of
Rosolini and its area of influence, albeit not
the most prevalently used to sheep as in the past, yet allow
sheep and goats. Remember then "u pisciruovu to
rosalinara", sort of omelets made from egg, fried
copolletta, parsley, pepper and wild asparagus, cooked and
mixed with cottage cheese.
The tradition of
preparing buns did not suffer any interruption and still
occupies a prominent place in the local cuisine: so we 'to'
mpanata ", pasta stacked discs filled with broccoli,
salt cod or eels in the Christmas period, meat lamb at
Easter and fired; then again "in nfigghiulata"
disk of dough with rolling pin stretch ("lasagnaturi"),
stuffed with ricotta cheese blended with eggs, salt, and
pieces of sausage, folded into three parts and fired after
having approached the edges; Finally "in Cucca"
strip of dough with rolling pin stretch, stuffed with chunks
of cheese and sausage and baked, after it rolled.
Among the desserts
include "the gravazzati" strip of dough with
rolling pin stretch and stuffed with a blend of ricotta,
chocolate chips and powdered sugar; "Meals fuorti"
amalgam of flour, sugar and egg white; "Ramuzzi the"
sweet prepared with mixture of flour and honey "SATRA";
"Mustazzola the" amalgam of flour and cooked wine;
"Urchins re miennila", sweet almond, whose seeds
peeled and finely shredded blend in egg white and sugar,
offer one more reason for foodies to come Rosolini where
they can enjoy the various bakeries that produce them.
Culture
The town's name
seems to derive from the Latin Rus Elorinum, which indicated
the territory of Eloro, ancient colony of Syracuse sec. VII
BC or more probably from the Arabic "Rus Salib'ni"
literal translation of "Cave of the cross",
referring to the Arabs (who colonized the entire area for
centuries) to the Byzantine basilica carved into the rock
and located in the old settlement of the City. It belonged
to the family from Platamone sec. XV with the title of
barony, but the town was founded by Francesco Moncada Prince
of Lardaria only in 1713, after having had the estate by
inheritance from his wife Eleonora Platamone. Of particular
relevance are the architectural Platamone Castle, built in
1668che preserves an early Christian basilica of the
century. V and the Mother Church, built between the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. There are also
interesting archaeological remains of Cava Lazzaro, which
preserves the necropolis of the Bronze Age. Up to 1712
Rosolini was one of the ninety-feuds of the vast territory
of Noto.
In 2010 was
established by the City Council award "Rosolini - Carob
Gold" that is assigned, by a special Honorary
Committee, citizens rosolinesi that stand in the arts,
culture, science and social carrying the prestige of
Rosolini. In 2010 the prize was awarded to Daniel Sipione
(Chancellor of the lepers, founder of the nonprofit "Our
friends lepers"), in 2011 Dr. Ottavio Arancio
(Associate of Pathology and Cell Biology at Columbia
University, who is interested in studies on Alzheimer's
disease), in 2012 to spouses Caterina and Giorgio Calabrese
(scholars dietary).

Language
and dialect
A Rosolini is
commonly spoken language of Sicily, in the variant part of
metafonica southeastern used straddling the provinces of
Siracusa and Ragusa, which differs in some ways from the
traditional Sicilian language. The main difference with
regard to the phonetic is the failure to use than the rest
of the main spoken of the letter H in many words. Ex. A
"keys" becomes "Ciavi", "more to
call" becomes "Ciamari", "Acchianari"
- "Accianari", etc. Another characteristic feature
is the use of the letter "r" in place of "d"
in many words such as "to" become "re",
"Duman" becomes "Romanians". Last
feature is the change of the classic sound "ggh"
which is pronounced "ddj" es. "Buttigghia"
is pronounced "buttiddja", "pigghiari"
becomes "piddjari" and so on. There is also a
phenomenon seen only in the towns of Rosolini, Ispica and
Pachino: the pronunciation of the "c" before a
vowel tends to be pronounced like a "g" instead of
"ski" as in the rest of Sicily. Es. "Bicycle"
is pronounced "bigicletta" instead of
"biscicletta".

(San Paulu in Sicilian) is an Italian town of 7,782
inhabitants [3] of the province of Syracuse in Sicily.
It
is located in the hinterland of Syracuse, 17 km to the
northwest delcapoluogo. It is the smallest municipality, by
extension, of the province, but at the same time it is also
the third largest town in the province by population density,
after Floridia and Siracusa.
Its
importance, within the province, mainly from the processing
of agricultural products. In common, in fact, converge
annually, is largely of olive production in the area for the
milling, is a quantity of almonds approximately 65,000

Physical
Geography
The
town of Solarino is located on a hilly slope between 190 and
145 m above sea level; the town hall is located 165 meters
above sea level, so this is the official altitude of the
town. [5]
The
territory stretches over a hilly area called Val d'Anapo, [6]
extreme eastern foothill of the Iblei Mountains that slope
towards the plain of Syracuse, which is bounded by physical
boundaries: the quarries and Cirino Spampinato
Culatrello-southwest ; the slope of the valley dell'Anapo
north-east; diFloridia the Plain to the southeast. For this
reason, the altitude is variable: it goes from a minimum of
120 meters, in the district Macchiotta to a maximum of 390
meters, in the locality of Trigona, with an excursion
altitude of 270 meters. [7]
The
appearance of the agro solarinese is characterized by
Mediterranean scrub and olive groves of the hilly and
dagliagrumeti the plain below. Also prevalent almond trees,
prickly pears carrubie most often placed on the property
boundaries of the same citrus groves.

the Climate classification, introduced by Presidential Decree
no. 412 of 26 August 1993, the City is part of the so-called
Area C, having a heat requirement of 966 GG.

Territory
Hydroelectric
plant dell'Anapo. The containment basin bottom, near
Solarino.
The
district is considered a medium-high seismicity zone (zone 2)
pursuant to Ordinance No. PCM. 3274 of 20/03/2003, which
established the seismic classification of Italian
municipalities.
The
reason lithological predominant in the territory is
characterized by sediments calcarenitibiancastri - well
combined - which on the surface appear discreetly altered and
engraved by valleys where small streams run dry for most of
the year. These sediments were referred by the geological
literature "training Monti Climiti" refers
Oligocene-Miocene. [9] The rock outcropping of limestone,
which constitutes more than half of the territory, does not
have a uniform structure, being in some places and compact in
others, quite friable, thus giving rise to subterranean
formations, such as the Cave of the Fan. The remainder is
made up darocce clastic sedimentary breccias as conchiliari
dating back to the Quaternary and Pliocene limestones sandy,
clayey sandstones econglomerati few meters thick.
From
the point of view of soil, land solarinesi formed by the
decomposition of the rock outcropping pHleggermente have a
basic and a reddish color caused by the presence of iron
hydroxide alkaline deicalcari own environment that favors the
formation of hematite; while those of alluvial have a color
ranging from brown to red to dark yellow. [10]
As
for the hydrography, land solarinese falls in the basin of
the river Anapo that, just a few kilometers from the town,
was conveyed in two artificial reservoirs, in order to
harness the kinetic energy of the water supply by the same
name for produrreenergia center. [11]
History
Main article:
History of the voice Solarino.
The
history of the origins of Solarino is shrouded in mystery and
is often the boundary between reality and legend, because of
unincendio that in 1944 destroyed the town archives, making
it somewhat difficult historical reconstruction. Although
there are many archaeological evidence of human presence in
today's municipal area, since prehistoric times, [12] the
foundation of the first settlement occurred only in the
eighteenth century [13] at the hands of the Prince of
Pantelleria Giuseppe Antonio Requisenz. [14]
The
earliest records of Solarino, however, date back to the
thirteenth century, when it is counted as a baronial feud in
the role of feudal lords from De Spucches. [15] Until then,
the story tends to be confused with the tradition that sees
the preaching of St. Paul solarinesi lands, during the stop
of the three days it took to Syracuse in the year 61. [16]
Key
dates in the history solarinese, in addition to the April 25,
1760, granting the licentia populandi and, therefore, the
foundation of the first settlement, are December 20, 1827,
the day when King Francis I, granted to "Comunello 'San
Paolo Solarino l 'administrative autonomy, [17] and July 13,
1943, when in the countryside around the country, after three
days of fighting, ended one of the bloodiest battles of World
War II in the Syracuse area, known as the Battle of Solarino.
[18 ]
The
first coat of arms in force from 1827 to 1920, which shows
the ancient name of the City "San Paolo Solarino".
Place
name
The
meaning of the name is unclear Solarino. According to a
thesis, [19] could come from the Sicilian sularinu, which
means "lonely", perhaps because it refers to the
church that was originally isolated from the first
settlement; according to other authors, [20] [21] however,
the name is of Latin origin derives from the word solaris or
solarium which means "sunny", referring to the
geographical position of the territory. A foundation and
confirmation of this theory, the authors pose the feedback
with the name of one of the districts of Solarino, Soliardo,
from Latin solis (= sun) ardeo (= burn, inflamed, I shine),
or "burn or I shine for sun ", and then" sunny
place ". [22]
Solarino,
however, has not always been the name of the town in
question. During the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies in fact, the
official name of the country was "City of San Paolo
Solarino," and so even under the Kingdom of Italy, at
least until September 9, 1920, when in official acts
preparatory to the municipal elections of next October,
popped up for the first time the words "City Hall
Solarino". Only in 1922, after nearly a century of
municipal autonomy was introduced municipal seal with the
inscription "City of Solarino", the current name of
the country. The reference to St. Paul, however, was not
entirely random. [23] In fact, during the journey in 60 AD,
from Cilicia took him to Rome, the Apostle of the Gentiles,
who arrived in 61 AD in Syracuse stayed there for three days.
[24] According to local tradition, during this stop, despite
the custody militaris which he was subjected, [25] the Holy
also visited the oppidum this area Cozzo Collura, [26] near
present Solarino, where - it is said - he miraculously gush
of water, after beating the ground with his foot; in fact, at
that place were found archaeological finds related to the
Roman period that goes from the second to the fourth century
including the remains of an early Christian church and a
well, which is why, even today, the site in question is
called by the inhabitants the place Puzzu 'the San Paulu
(Pozzo di San Paolo). [27]
As
for the change of name of the municipality, from San Paolo in
Solarino Solarino, although there is no official explanation,
according to the scholar P. Serafino M. Gozzo [28] This event
is related to the political will of the mayor at the time,
Carmelo Lamonica, to secularize institutions, eliminating the
reference to the religious figure of the saint by the name of
the municipality. Just the same Gozzo, with a request filed
September 23, 1978, became the promoter of a popular
initiative should be restored because the original name of
St. Paul Solarino, his request, however, had no follow-up by
the administration of the time , although it was supported by
more than two thousand signatures of residents. [29] The name
of the Apostle of Tarsus, however, is not lost, but continues
to exist even today in the dialect name of the country, in
fact: San Paulu and the resulting name its inhabitants called
sampalísi (= "Sampaolesi") [30] or even
paliddi (literally "Pauline").

Monuments and places of
interest
Mother Church St.
Paul the Apostle.
The
main sights of Solarino are undoubtedly those related to
tradition and to the cult of the patron, the so-called
Pauline sites, namely the Pozzo di San Paolo, the Grotto of
St. Paul and the remains of the Church of San Paoloche are in
Cozzo Collura, as well as the Church madredel own country

same Mother Church, all buildings dating back to the
eighteenth century, are to be reported and the War Memorial
Hospital Vasquez built in the twenties and the recent Peace
Monument.
Near
the village, however, worthy of note along with the

electric Floridia, Priolo Gargallo, Solarino and Sortino for
the establishment of the "Centro Nautico of Anapo",
whose coordination sport was entrusted to Davide Tizzano,
Olympic champion in rowing in Seoul 88 and Barcelona 1992.
[51]
Society
Demographic
evolution
The
inhabitants of the first settlement formed inside the feud
"Solarino" in the eighteenth century, were mostly
farmers from the nearby village of the Well of the Church and
from the farm Trigona; to these, were added the displaced of
Syracuse, Noto, and Canicattini Bagni who survived the
earthquake of Val di Noto in 1693. The first demographic data
of the town (then fraction of Syracuse) date back to 1766,
when the Land of St. Paul in fief of Solarino counted 235
inhabitants, the number nearly tripled after little more than
two decades, thanks to the presence of settlers who were
brought as well as various places of Sicily, also from
Genovesato, [52] from the Piedmont, Malta ("Terrae
Melitae habitatores »), homeboy ('Maronitii") and
the Castelli Romani ("Terrae Collium prope Romam
habitatores'), as can be seen dalRegistro Parish Baptisms of
the Mother Church. [53]
At
the beginning of the twentieth century, Solarino, was
affected by a considerable rate of emigration, especially to
the United States of America and Australia, where many
communities sprang solarinesi (New Britain, Connecticut, in
Paterson [54] in New Jersey and in the suburb of Melbourne,
Moreland, in Australia) but also to Latin America, Central
Europe (Switzerland and Germany) and regions of northern
Italy. [55] This bleeding was not able to be balanced either
by immigration of 4,000 refugees arrived in Friuli Syracuse
in November 1917 because of the First World War - most of
whom settled in this very commonly [56] and lasted until the
until the sixties.
Following
the economic boom and the birth of the petrochemical Syracuse
in the stretch of coast between Targia and Augusta, most
campaigns were abandoned and Solarino, thanks to its
geographical location - equidistant from both the industrial
clusters that the provincial capital - knew immigration
resulting in an increase in population, which led him to be,
currently, the third largest urban center of the province
(after Syracuse and Floridia) for population density (566
inhab. / km²). Population census
Ethnic minorities and
foreign
As
at 31 December 2007 in Solarino are residents 169 foreign
citizens, equal to 2.26% of the population. [57] The national
communities are more numerous:

Dialect
solarinese
The
dialect (or rather: the vernacular) solarinese - Sicilian:
parrata sampalisa - is part of the Sicilian language, and
specifically pertains to the "dialect metafonetico
Eastern Europe." It, however, has some peculiarities,
[58] especially in phonetics, which differentiate it from
this type of dialects, and especially those of neighboring
municipalities (Floridia and Syracuse): [59]
degeminazione
double occlusive retroflex sound [dd],
[60] to which the words Iddu (= he, him), nuddu (= none),
cavaddu (= horse) in Sicilian are pronounced ['iɖɖu],
[' nuɖɖu] and [ka'vaːɖɖu] in
solarinese become idu, nudu and cavadu (['iɖu], ['
nuɖu] and [ka'vaːɖu]).
failure
retroflexion of voiceless alveolar plosive [t] in the
pronunciation of the links <tr> and <str>, then,
the words tri (= three) and strata (= road), which are
pronounced in Sicilian respectively ['ʈɽi] and [
'ʂɽaːta], with a sound similar to English
words and street tree, in solarinese, will maintain the
sound that they would in the Italian language, that is, ['
tri] and ['Strata].
The
reason for this difference, perhaps, is to trace the origin
of the original composite settlement of the country, which
saw the presence not only of Sicily (canicattinesi, netini,
Syracuse) but also of the Maltese, Liguria and Piedmont. [61]
However, with the advent of mass literacy and the increasing
economic and cultural relations with the neighboring country
of Floridia and with the capital, such diversity now last
only in the range of older population. Therefore, the dialect
spoken by Solarinesi currently is similar to that Floridians
and Syracuse.
Folklore:
the ciarauli
According
to a local tradition (also widespread in the nearby town of
Palazzolo Acreide), all those who are born on the night of
January 25, the date of the conversion of Saint Paul, having
the quality miraculous - given to them by the Holy - to be
able to heal from snake bites or from "passiature"
(erythema contact caused by poisonous reptiles or other
animals, such as scorpions and tarantulas). According to the
legend, San Paolo is the protector against the reptiles. [62]
This belief, starts from the episode described by St. Luke in
the Acts of the Apostles [63] regarding the bite procured to
Paul in the island of Malta, by a viper that, to the
amazement of those present, produced no result. These people
are called "ciarauli" (from the greek κεραυλής
"keraulés", that horn players, since the
first and oldest ciarauli during healing, they used to use of
musical instruments). The ciaràulu "or ciaràula",
therefore, are individuals who may belong to any social
class, since the "title" is acquired exclusively
for diem natalem and whose hallmark excrescence under the
tongue called the "mark of the spider ". [30]
However, the simple birth and l '" footprint "are
not in themselves to make bastevoli BECOME ciàraulu a
person, but you need to follow a real training process [16],
which starts at around seven or eight years . When you reach
that age, "marked" can learn the formulas
scongiuratorie (ciarmi) by another ciaràulu, but only
in the church, and only on Christmas Eve during the
consecration of the Eucharist, or the formulas will lose
effectiveness.
The
healing modalities, completely abandoned the use of musical
instruments, is the following: the ciaràulu, fasting,
analyzes the painful part and judges the type of bite, makes
the sign of the cross, wets the part with his own saliva,
therefore, makes a gentle massage, mentally repeating the
spell ("ciarmu"). This operation (to be done in the
morning and evening, for three days) is repeated three times,
and concludes with a sign of the cross. In previous centuries
this popular belief assigned to "ciarauli"
extraordinary abilities so much that many were to take a
pilgrimage to Solarino), [64] to fulfill a vow of thanks to
the Holy One who had brought them heal from a bite or reptile
another poisonous animal.
Since
2010, the ciarauli was dedicated a special event called
Kerayles fest, included as part of the festivities in honor
of the patron, alternating lectures, musical and
choreographic. [65]
Culture
At present, the
cultural manifestations of the most commonly encountered
concern the promotion of the territory, of the popular and
religious traditions and food and wine.
Despite
the absence of special spaces such as theaters and cinemas,
are frequent representations teatraliche they are played in
the streets of the town - especially in summer - thanks to
the initiative of some associations and local theater
companies. Even the music industry is very active, with the
presence of several groups, such as Qbeta, which however are
not a few difficulties to express themselves lacking adequate
space and investments in the sector. Sporadic, however, the
exhibitions of painting, photography and sculpture and
literary meetings scenarios they see as the assembly room
"Falcone and Borsellino", the religious institution
"Cenacolo Dominican" or the former Hospital
Vasquez, given the lack exhibition spaces ad hoc.
Museums
In
the city center there are three private museum spaces: one of
naturalistic, another female on handicraft production, and
the third, of character etnoantropologico. Another museum -
also of ethnological and managed by Pro locomotive should
rise at the west of the country along the road to Palazzolo
Acreide, near the former mill of Locozio, currently
undergoing restoration. [66]
Ecomuseum
Hyblon, housed in the structure of the Cenacle Dominican
Father in Via Barbagallo, is a museopaleontologico -
Mineralogical collecting specimens of the natural heritage
of the area iblea, coming not only from the valley
dell'Anapo, but also from Cavagrande Cassibile and
Vendicari. [ 67]
Permanent
Museum of Lace and Embroidery Artistic, established in 2003,
is located in Via Machiavelli and is based on a private
collection of lace and embroidery made between the
nineteenth century and the second half of the twentieth
century and from every Italian region. [68]
House
of the twentieth century, located in Via Vincenzo Bellini,
n. 43, consists of a typical solarinese dating back to the
period of the First World War, restored and turned into a
permanent exhibition of local ethnographic material. [69]

and until 1993 in Solarino which hosted the broadcaster
Teleanapo, obscured following the law Mama on the regulation
of public and private broadcasting system. [71] Since 2008,
Teleanapo returned to broadcast stream, becoming unaweb TV.

migrants and which gives news also etnologoGiuseppe Pitrè

As
for other types of events (fairs, festivals, competitions,
sports events), their persistence is essentially linked to
the economic resources of the organizers; and so, in the
past, Solarino was also the scene of livestock fairs (boario
market from 1882 until the eighties [74]), trade fairs (Fiera
del Sole, dal1995 to 1997), art contests (National Piano

geography
City
planning
Detail of a house
solarinese Nouveau.
Solarino
is 859 km from the capital, Rome; 255 km from the regional
capital, Palermo; 210 km from Agrigento; 157 km from
Caltanissetta; 63 km from Catania; 132 km from Enna; 158 km
from Messina; 67 km from Ragusa; 363 km from Trapani; and
just 17 km from the provincial capital, Syracuse.
The
urban center of the City, built on areas that were formerly
known as: Santa Croce, Badìa, Closed Fondaco, Station,
Coast Casino, Moat Barone, Cozzo Modicano and Piano Palace
has a plant in orthogonal, oval. Its architectural appearance
recently, since the founding of the town dates back to the
second half of the eighteenth century, is characterized -
especially in the Northeast quadrant (Vie Martyrs of
Ardeatine, Vittorio Veneto, Nazario Sauro, quartiereStazione)
- the so-called "Attardamento of Decoration Liberty ",
which manifests itself in particular shapes of the window
sills and frames limestone surmounting doors and windows of
the houses built up to the forties eanni fifty. [87]
The northeast side
of the Piazza del Plebiscito, centering the War Memorial, and
the Palazzo Conti Mezio (Town Hall).
Heart
geographical, political and religious of the country is the
Piazza del Plebiscito. Almost square, is divided into two
symmetrical parts from Corso Vittorio Emanuele, and it is the
main roads of the country and the provincial and state roads
to Floridia, Syracuse, Sortino and Palazzolo Acreide. There
are the Town Hall, the Cathedral Church St. Paul the Apostle,
the Monument to the Fallen in War, ilPalazzo Requisenz and
the only pharmacy in the country. At the center of the
south-western side of the square, in front of the Mother
Church, is, then, the majestic pine planted during ilFascismo
to commemorate the death of Arnaldo Mussolini and that, after
the second world war, was renamed in Tree of Liberty, in
memory the end of the war. [88] Finally, from December 2006
to July 2007, the square was the subject of an extensive
restoration and consolidation on the replacement of the
original flooring with a new one made of blocks of white
stone d'Avola, the removal of pine trees that arredavano
(except for the Tree of Liberty), the subsequent planting of
magnolias and the installation of a new public lighting,
so-called art, in order to bring out the monuments and
buildings that face . The main street is the Corso Vittorio
Emanuele, about 800 meters long and it is the natural
continuation of the SS 124, in it there are the police
station, the Palace Sipala and most of the businesses in the
country.
Other
places of interest, from the architectural point of view -
urban, are Piazza IV Novembre (known by Solarinesi as the
square of grass, because in ancient times was not paved and
there grew wild on the lawn), square of approximately 1,000
square meters located in the west of the country, whose
particular structure on two floors, reminiscent of the
auditorium and the audience of a theater and that this
characteristic is often used perrappresentazioni performing
arts; Piazza Aldo Moro, semicircular, within which is
embedded a staircase with painted murals on the top, 5
September 2009, was a statue of Padre Pio and Piazzale Victor
Rizza, named in memory of an Italian-American researcher (of
origins solarinesi) Rockefeller University NewYork died
tragically with his son, in the crash of Flight SR111 2
September 1998. [89] The square, oval, was derived from the
confluence of the streets Dante and Piave, near of 'Hospital
Vasquez, is elevated above the road surface due to the
difference in height between the two arteries and its
interior features a rotunda surrounded by lawn on which were
planted palm trees and other tall trees. [90]
Municipal
district
The
district has an area of 1,301 hectares, out to
be, well, the smallest of the Province of Syracuse. Its
boundaries are: north and west with the Municipality of
Sortino; to the northeast, with that of Priolo Gargallo; to
the east, still with Priolo Gargallo and Syracuse; south and
southeast with Floridia and southeast with Palazzolo Acreide.
The
extra-urban areas (locally called districts) that combine to
form it are: Balatazza, Calancon wind, Carrubbazza, Case
Rosse, Cassara, Cava Cirino, Basin Porco, Costa Lucente,
Costa Palmieri, Costa Pernice, Cozzo of Death, Cozzo Collura,
Cozzo Rabbit, Cugno Canne, Cugno Cardone, Cugno Randazzo,
Finaiti, Fuller, Caves Conzo, Loco, Loco Carciolo, Locozìo,
Macchiotta, Maltese, Mangiapecora, Farmhouse, New Well, Well
Oliva, Quartararo, Raina, Ràzzina, San Demetrio,
Sellichisina, Sfardascarpe, Soliardo, Trigona, Vizzinisi,
Loco Zaiera, Zanno. Many of these (Cozzo Amena, Cozzo
Rabbit, Fuller, Macchiotta, Maltese, Mangiapecora, Pozzo
Oliva), due to the population growth of the City now form an
integral part of the urban center. Other (Balatazza, Finaiti,
Trigona, Cugno Canne, Sellichisina), however, being next to
the town and as a result of the constant building expansion
that has found new life since the nineties, [91] are
urbanizing, losing their rural characteristics and
increasingly becoming the new edge of the village.
Economy
Almonds, a wealth
for the economy solarinese.
The
country's economy, in the past, it was mainly agricultural,
as indeed were those of other municipalities of Syracuse.
Known primarily for the production of olives, almonds
ecarrube territory solarinese resulted mainly intended to
intensive crops (60%), extensive crops (30%) and pasture
(10%).
After
the economic boom of the sixties and following the birth of
the petrochemical, agriculture has had a setback as well as
the breeding of cattle and sheep, so their impact in the
economic fabric of the country is gone, with time,
diminishing and currently, is quite modest. [92]
Nevertheless, thanks to the ability of economic conversion of
many local operators, the economy linked to natural products
(cereals, olives, carob, almond, fruit and vegetables), is
attempting one development in terms of processing and
exporting of products (local cakes, honey, oil, canned). Just
think about it, the City converges much of olive production
in the area, for the milling and that, annually, in Solarino
is processed a quantity of almonds of about 65,000 tons,
equivalent to 80% of the Sicilian production. [4] Therefore,
two seasonal jobs typically have been transformed into a
stable source of employment, thanks to export the finished
product on an international scale. As a result, the economy
of the country, major importance is the industries of food
processing [93] (dairies, oil mills, flour mills, butchers,
canneries), beekeeping, processing of citrus fruits and fruit
and vegetables. As of 2000, signs of recovery are also
visible in the building sector and is quite developed sector
also linked to wine and food through different structures
(bars, pubs, discopubs, restaurants, pizzerias, reception
rooms) is present in the city center and its surroundings.

Home San Paolo Solarino - Syracuse New. Following the
dismantling of the railway and urban expansion, the station

Obtaining

have followed, driving of which there was a mayor 59 times,
12 times a commissioner, 7 times a acting, 6 times mayor and
once each, a municipal magistrate and a royal delegate. In
1943, then, for three months, the city was subjected to the
US Military Government of Occupied Territories (AMGOT); as
they were to appoint the first two mayors allied after World
War II.
To
date, the sindacatura longest was that of Michael Gozzo that
Solarino administered for 14 consecutive years, from 1882 to
1896, while the shortest, lasting just 54 days, from January
5 to February 28, 1990, it is up to Benito Cassia . During
the First Republic, the political party that has had more
mayors was the Christian Democrats (22 of 31
administrations). With the direct election of mayors,
introduced by the Law of 25 March 1993 n. 81, has served as
First Citizen, twice the candidates of the center and for

Sport
Football
February
10, 2008, the 20th day of the regional championship of Second
Category Group F, the teams of San Paolo Solarino (held in
blue) and the Real San Paolo deployed in midfield before the
derby, terminatosi 5-2 for Real.
Despite being the
most popular sport and the most followed by Solarinesi, has
never given great results, reaching levels amateur
medium-low.
To
date, the best result is achieved third place in the
Championship promotion, obtained in stagione1998-99 by Gruppo
Sportivo San Paolo back from three consecutive promotions
(the Third Category allaPromozione in the years 1996 to 1998)
[113] and only team to solarinese win a trophy category (the
Cup of Trinacria Second Category, June 22, 1997, in the final
of Viagrande against Messina of Giustra). [114]
This
lack of results, however, has been linked not only to
technical skills and competitive, but especially in economic
matters, [115] since all football clubs solarinesi of the
past have gone to meeting financial failure, including
formations title holders.
So
it was in the late seventies with Solarinese, the City first
team to play in the championship-promoting in the 1976-77
season, [116] that in the meantime, after changing several
names (SS Mobilburgio and, after the merger with the AC
Solarino, Solarino SS) was relegated to the first category in
the 1978-79 season, after taking the original name.
The
same fate befell the GS San Paolo who, having averted the
crisis in 2001, [117] two years after he had to give up their
sports title, [118] to disappear permanently from the
football scene in 2004. [119]
In
subsequent years, have alternated and complemented various
formations and then later disappear as the previous teams,
reaching between 2007 and 2010, the maximum number of four
formations solarinesi simultaneously present in the amateur
leagues between Second (San Paolo Solarino and Real San
Paolo) and third category (Rebirth Solarinese and Solarino).
For the 2011/12 season, however, in Solarino are two football
teams, both militants in the third category: the Solarinese
and Sporting St. Paul. [120]
Cycling
It
is the second most popular sport in the town, but it is also
the one that gave more satisfaction, especially at the level
of youth competitions, culminating with the conquest of two
junior world titles on the road, in 1992 [121] and in 1993,
[122] by Digiuseppe Palumbo. As for cycling events in the
recent past, has been the scene of Solarino Trofeo Pantalica,
international race (category 1.1 UCI) road cycling for
cyclists (elite category); [123]
February
27, 1999, Andrea Ferrigato wins the sprint the XXIV Trofeo
Pantalica, arriving place in Piazza del Plebiscito.
currently, however,
the various races organized concern sectors amateur, youth
and amateur cycling. Among these deserve mention:

neighborhood" by a group of enthusiasts (Club Silvio
Pellico) that they decided to organize a cycling race
characterized by the fact that the arrival was in the

Hi!
First I introduce myself. My name is Marisa Pappalardo and my
hobby is genealogy, as well as the study and research (for
future publication put in the yard) of migration flows that
have affected the municipalities of Canicattini / Floridia and
later (since founded later), Solarino. I read your blog and I
can tell you (as I acts), that Sipala were already before 1797
in Canicattini and for all I know so far (because research on
Sipala I started a couple of days ago), the Sipala already
existed in 1754. Below I will try to explain the family of
this family Sipala (if do not come out the other Sipala these
days). In 1754 takes place the marriage between Joseph and
Mezzio this Pasquala Sipala. Act parish Pasquala Sipala
meanwhile appears to be born in Three (abbrevizione Terre)
Balneorum, then Canicattini Bagni (I state that often is
referred to as Canicattini Balnei or Balneorum and
Cannicattini, but the last condition is more frequent since
the beginning of 1800 ). In addition we can also know the
names of the parents, who are Sebastiano Sipala and Sebastiana
Ficara, so in summary, we have a name, that Sebastiano Sipala,
already present in Canicattini before 1754, being the father
of Pasquala. In 1773, the couple's daughter Mezzio / Sipala,
who was born in Canicattini anyway, but when the wedding was
resident in Solarino, she married this Bombaci. This specific
line, gave birth later, Benedict Bombaci, notary as well as
mayor of Canicattini.
Thank
you for your attention.
