Lucca Sicula has a history similar to many other Sicilian towns of the seventeenth century. At that time, in fact, to sit in the Sicilian parliament it was necessary to be the owner of a populated fiefdom. Thus it was that Francesco Lucchesi Palli favored the creation of this town, to which he gave the name of Lucca, being a native of Lucca which is located in Tuscany. To attract the population, settlers were offered a plot of land that they could exploit as they pleased, but paid a fee to the property. The town was called Lucca Sicula only in 1863 after the unification of Italy. The urban layout is the typical seventeenth-century checkerboard one. From the same period is the Mother Church, always built in the interest of Baron Lucchesi Palli to give the village the status of a populated fief.

Burgio Historic Village

Highlight • Settlement

Burgio is a small town rich in history and traditions. Like much of the island, this town has been ruled over the centuries by different populations. Between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries Burgio became famous throughout the island for the production of ceramics. The territory rich in raw materials at that time attracted workers from nearby Caltagirone who opened the first shops in the town. In 1990 Burgio was recognized as a "Municipality with an established artistic and traditional ceramic tradition" and is part, together with 32 other Italian municipalities, of the Italian City of Ceramics Association. Another feature of this town is the production of bells that continues thanks to the work of two unique craft shops in Sicily.
