Synopsis
Contributing Authors

The Nebrodi mountains, central-northern Sicily, have long remained archeologically unexplored. This volume hopes to increase the knowledge of many aspects of this part of the island: the meeting between indigenous and Greek cultures, their coexistence, the types of settlement and the organization of cities, the trade and the local pr

I Monti Nebrodi occupano la parte centro-settentrionale della Sicilia. Si tratta di un’area caratterizzata da rilievi che si elevano repentinamente dalla costa tirrenica, separati da strette vallate percorse da torrenti e con poche aree pianeggianti. La frequentazione umana e antichissima e fu agevolata dalla ricchezza di risorse naturali (acqua, boschi, terreni fertili) e da un clima molto favorevole. In epoca classica qui prosperarono numerose citta, sorte in genere su rilievi ben difendibili; gli insediamenti indigeni incontrarono la cultura greca a partire dal VI secolo a.C. ma si possono definire totalmente ellenizzati solo dopo la meta del IV secolo a.C. La fase di maggiore prosperita fu l’eta ellenistica, soprattutto quella successiva alla conquista romana della Sicilia: centri importanti furono, tra gli altri, Tyndaris, Halaesa, Kale Akte, Herbita, la cui ricchezza derivava dalla grande disponibilita di risorse naturali e dai commerci diretti o indiretti svolti con il resto dell’Isola e con la Penisola Italiana, ma anche con altre aree del Mediterraneo, soprattutto per quelli che si affacciavano sul mare. La nascita di molti di questi insediamenti risale di frequente alla preistoria e l’esistenza di alcuni di essi si e prolungata fino ad oggi. Le caratteristiche fisiche di questa parte montagnosa della Sicilia determinarono peculiari forme di occupazione e lo sviluppo di una cultura autonoma, anche a causa della sua perifericita rispetto ai principali centri dell’antichita. I Nebrodi sono rimasti a lungo archeologicamente inesplorati: pochi sono stati i saggi di scavo, concentrati principalmente su alcuni siti (soprattutto Tyndaris e Halaesa). Pertanto la storia di queste contrade e rimasta a lungo quasi sconosciuta. L’autore ha svolto ricerche finalizzate alla conoscenza di molti aspetti inediti di questa parte dell’isola: l’incontro tra cultura indigena e cultura greca, la loro coesistenza, i modi d’insediamento e la forma delle citta, i commerci anche ad ampio raggio, le produzioni locali. La ricerca ha tenuto conto inevitabilmente delle caratteristiche ambientali e del paesaggio, rimasto immutato per larghi tratti e per questo pieno di suggestioni che consentono di comprendere meglio le espressioni culturali delle comunita che si stanziarono nei Nebrodi nelle varie epoche, lo sviluppo delle citta e il loro reale peso economico e politico nel quadro del Mediterraneo antico.
