Descendants of Vincenzo Mormino 17 January 2020 Descendants of Vincenzo Mormino 17 January 2020 First Generation 1. Vincenzo Mormino was born (date unknown). The town of Termini Imerese, whose population numbers about 26,000, is located on Sicily's North Coast in the province of Palermo, roughly mid-way between Cefalù and the Sicilian capital. Termini, as it is usually referred to, is about 38 kilometers east of Palermo or about 25 minutes by train or car. The town is divided into two parts: Termini Bassa (Lower Termini) and Termini Alta (Upper Termini). Almost all of the town's historical attractions are located in Termini Alta, since that area effectively comprises the town's old historic center. Lower Termini is where the railway- bus station and the hotels are located. Termini is wedged in between the sea and the steeply-rising slopes of Monte San Calogero, the peak that marks the beginning of the Madonie Mountain Range which runs east towards Messina and South to the vicinity of Enna. Viewed from the sea, Termini presents a picture-postcard image of a Sicilian seaside town. The view from Termini looking out over the sea to Palermo is likewise spectacular. Termini is famous for its elaborate Carnival (Mardi Gras) festival, which is ranked along with Acireale's and Sciacca's Carnevales as one of the best in Sicily. The name Termini Imerese is derived from the Latin "Thermae Himerenses" or "Hot Springs of Himera." Indeed, the remains of arched Roman aqueducts are visible at Termini. The name also derives from the toponymic "Imera" which was the name the ancient Greeks applied to the settlement near present-day Termini that they came to occupy. The story of Imera is the only historically noteworthy episode that can be linked to the ancient history of Termini Imerese. Imera was founded in 678 BC by Greek colonists from Zancle (Sickle), modern Messina. Zancle itself had been founded in the previous century by Greek colonists. It is probable that a prehistoric settlement already existed there, populated by Sicanians. The Greek town of Imera represented the furthest westward penetration of the Greeks on the North Coast of Sicily, and thus, represented a threat to the Carthaginians, who had colonized the western area of Sicily and founded Palermo and Solunto, the latter city being only 30 kilometers distant from Imera. In 480 BC, the Carthaginians decided to invade the region. Hamilcar, a Carthaginian general who was an ancestor of the famous Hannibal who later fought the Romans, assembled an army said to number 30,000 men to march upon Imera. The Greeks of Imera sought and received help from their fellow Greeks of Agrigento and Syracuse. The three combined Greek armies literally massacred the Carthaginians, and thus the Carthaginian threat to the Sicilian Greeks was effectively eliminated, at least for the remainder of that century. In 409 BC, Hannibal, grandson of Hamilcar, led a large Carthaginian army against Imera. This time, the Greeks were defeated and Imera was destroyed. It is believed that the survivors of the battle fled to either Termini or Caccamo (famous for its Norman castle), and founded the two towns or developed existing settlements.

  • Filling a GAP in Our Knowledge: the Gangivecchio Archaeological Project (GAP)
    Filling a GAP in Our Knowledge: The Gangivecchio Archaeological Project (GAP) Since the summer of 2000, the University of Iowa and the Archaeological Superintendency of Palermo have collaborated on the archaeological investigations of the site of Gangivecchio, Province of Palermo, Sicily. Gangivecchio is a 56 hectare estate in east central Sicily, centered on the Abbey of Gangivecchio, a Benedictine abbey founded in 1364 and now the private property of the Tornabene Family. Since initial surface investigations in 1974, it has been known that the site appears to possess an occupation sequence of long duration, perhaps going back to Hellenistic times, but with even tantalizing hints from the Greek colonial period. Most of the ancient evidence is from the period of the High Roman Empire, 1st to 5th centuries C.E. Test pits in the courtyard of the Abbey document Late Roman, Byzantine, possible Arab, and certainly Norman components to the site, as well as a full sequence of Medieval to modern components. One crucial facet to the project is the deployment of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) on the site. In 2004, 22 radar grids, covering an area of more than 3,500 sq m were investigated with data analysis continuing to this day. A deliberate intention to test excavate the radar results has been at the heart of the GAP project, to assist in the development of the radar technique for archaeology. Results to date have been extremely encouraging. In 2012, a new, three-way collaboration between the University of Iowa, the Archaeological Superintendency of Palermo, and the University of Palermo (division of Medieval Archaeology, Faculty of Arts and Letters) was established and a joint field-school was run in June and July of 2012, with 10 American and 6 Sicilian students.

  • Download the Things to Do in Palermo PDF
    Things to do in Palermo Palermo is the regional capital of Sicily, which is the largest and most heavily populated (about 5,000,000) island in the Mediterranean. The area has been under numerous dominators over the centuries, including Roman, Carthaginian, Byzantine, Greek, Arab, Norman, Swabian and Spanish masters. Due to this past and to the cultural exchange that for millennia has taken place in the area, the city is still an exotic mixture of many cultures. Many of the monuments still exist and are giving the city an unique appearance. The city of Palermo, including the province of Palermo, has around 1,300,000 inhabitants and has about 200 Km of coastline. The old town of Palermo is one of the largest in Europe, full of references to the past. Palermo reflects the diverse history of the region in that the city contains many masterpieces from different periods, including romanesche, gothic, renaissance and baroque architecture as well as examples of modern art. The city also hosts it's rich vegetation of palm trees, prickly pears, bananas, lemon trees and so on. The abundance of exotic species was also noticed by the world- famous German writer Goethe who in April 1787 visited the newly opened botanical gardens, describing them as "the most beautiful place on earth". Below, we would like to provide you with some useful information and advices about things to do and see during your stay in Palermo. We are happy to provide any further information you might require.

Le prime notizie storiche lo danno popolato dalla popolazione indigena degli Elimi, a Nord-Ovest, e dai Sicani, a Sud. Questi ultimi daranno il nome alla catena montuosa che interessa l’area meridionale dell’Alto Belice Corleonese. In epoca classica e medioevale,il comprensorio segue le vicende storiche siciliane:la colonizzazione greca e cartaginese,le guerre puniche,l’af- fermazione dei Romani,le invasioni barbariche,la presenza bizantina,la conquista araba. I Normanni fondano Monreale (sec. XII), la città più importante del distretto, e la dotano di un ampio territorio, nucleo fondante di quello dell’Alto Belice Corleonese.

  • Monreale Cathedral Cappella Del Crocifisso
    72 THE PROVINCE OF PALERMO ENVIRONS OF PALERMO: MONREALE 73 restored again in the 1980s when the 19th-century timber proved to be full of termites; that of the choir bears the stamp of Arab workmanship. The mosaics The magnificent series of mosaics tell in pictures the Old and New Testaments (NB: Coin-operated lights are essential to see the exquisite details; binoculars are useful). It is not known whether only Greek, or local craftsmen trained by Byzantine artists, were in- volved in this remarkable project, and the exact date of its completion is uncertain (thought to be around 1182). The large scenes chosen to illustrate the theme of Christ’s Ascension and the Assumption of the Virgin fit an overall scheme designed to celebrate the Norman monarchy and to emphasize its affinity with Jerusalem. Under the rich decoration of the upper walls runs an elegant marble and mosaic dado in the Arab style. Nave: Above the arcade the Genesis cycle begins in a double tier, starting with the up- per row at the eastern end of the south side with the Creation and continuing round monreale cathedral Cappella del Crocifisso Presbytery 2 4 Crossing 3 1 monreale cathedral: west front interlacing arches of limestone and lava-stone, can be seen from Via del Arcivescovado.

  • The Classification of Sicilian Dialects: Language Change and Contact Silvio Cruschina (University of Helsinki)
    The Classification of Sicilian Dialects: Language Change and Contact Silvio Cruschina (University of Helsinki) 1. Introduction The role of prescriptivism in inhibiting language change and in imposing a reduction in variation on the basis of linguistic norms has long been acknowledged. This emerges most clearly in the contemporary situation of standard languages, where variation across different dialects of the same language has been subject to a (relatively) successful prescriptive influence and to attempts by prescriptivists to preserve the standard language. The situation is somewhat different, however, for lower-prestige varieties and minority languages: the lack of a standard, and hence of prescriptive rules, coupled with the influence of the high-prestige language spoken in the same territory, provide favourable conditions and sometimes even triggers for language variation and change. This paper is concerned with the contemporary situation of Sicilian, where the traditional classification of its dialects comes up against cross-dialectal variation and the pace of language change. Despite constituting a distinct language of Italy, Sicilian has no official status and consequently no standard grammar or orthography. A significant number of differences, especially at the phonological level, allow the identification of several Sicilian dialects within the island: indeed, these differences have been used as the major criteria for the classification of the Sicilian dialects. In addition to the lack of a standard grammar and of prescriptive norms, Sicilian is in constant contact with Italian in a situation of diglossia: the two languages are used in different contexts and under different conditions by the same community (see Berruto 1987, Grassi 1993, Loporcaro 2009).

  • Food and Religion in Sicily—A New Green Tourist Destination by an Ancient Route from the Past
    sustainability Article Food and Religion in Sicily—A New Green Tourist Destination by an Ancient Route from the Past Bellia Claudio 1,* , Scavone Valeria 2 and Ingrassia Marzia 3 1 Department of Agricultural, Food and Environment (Di3A), University of Catania, 95126 Catania, Italy 2 Department of Architecture (DARCH), University of Palermo, 90133 Palermo, Italy; [email protected] 3 Department of Agricultural, Food and Forest Sciences (SAAF), University of Palermo, 90133 Palermo, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.:+ 39-095-758-0336 Abstract: The Francigena Way (Via Francigena) is a long international itinerary that was awarded recognition as a Culture Route of the Council of Europe. It starts in Canterbury (UK), touches 13 European regions and ends in Rome. An ancient track of this route is in Sicily (Southern Italy), and its name is Magna Via Francigena (Great Francigena Way). This track is a pilgrimage route that connects two ancient port cities, Palermo and Agrigento, passing through internal rural territories that now deal with the exodus of population from rural to urban areas. The route passes through the Sicilian territory named “Upper-Belìce corleonese”, a rural area around the city of Corleone (a little village known worldwide for the sad Mafia events) that includes a number of municipalities. In the past, this religious pilgrimage was a fundamental part of the expression of faith for Christians and now still represents for Sicilians a strong symbol of Christian identity. In recent decades, pilgrimage tourism around the world has grown significantly each year. The aim of the study is to know the pilgrims’ motivations for choosing the Magna Via Francigena pilgrimage as a vacation and any possible similarities between pilgrimage tourism and food and wine tourism, in the wider context Citation: Claudio, B.; Valeria, S.; of sustainable and slow tourism.

  • G. Venturella, B. Baum & G. Mandracchia the Genus Tamarix
    G. Venturella, B. Baum & G. Mandracchia The genus Tamarix (Tamaricaceae) in Sicily: first contribution Abstract Venturella, G., Baum, B. & Mandracchia, G.: The genus Tamarix (Tamaricaceae) in Sicily: first contribution. — Fl. Medit. 17: 25-46. 2007. — ISSN 1120-4052. The tamarisks flora of Sicily is here up dated with the addition of two species new for Italy (Tamarix rosea and T. chinensis) and three new records for the island (T. africana var. flumi- nensis, T. tetragyna and T. hampeana). Key words: Tamarisks, Taxonomy, Mediterranean Area. Introduction Tamarix L. is a critical genus of the Italian vascular flora and it is characterized by a considerable morphological and ecological resemblance of taxa, infraspecific variabili- ty and teratology of floral elements. The number of floral parts is sometimes constant but this parameter cannot be considered valid for any identification of specimens when it is not correlated with the position of flowers on the raceme, the reciprocal position of flo- ral parts, the variability in their numbers, etc. The difficulties in the identification of tamarisk species are sometimes caused by inaccurate descriptions and by problems in analytical keys. According to Willdenow (1816), Desvaux (1824), Ehrenberg (1872), Bunge (1852) and Ahrendt (1926), 200 specific and intraspecific taxa are included in the genus Tamarix. This number was reduced to 69 (54 species and 15 varieties) by Baum (1978).
