PREHISTORY

Sicily is an ancient land populated since 300,000 years ago.
At that time, the smoke of volcanoes that show the presence of a precious good, attracted on the island people from the sea.

The first who spoke about these people was Thucydides, giving them the names of Sicani, Elimi Siculi and he handed us that the first two probably belonging from the same stock, arrived on rafts from the Iberian Peninsula, fleeing from the Ligurian, the Siculi's, instead, came from the val padana driven out by Celtic peoples around 1050 BC.

In this period, when it was already in the advanced age of most metals, this population reached a high degree of evolution, forming communities in some cases very large and leaving many impressive testimonials.
