House Of Ciullo D'Alcamo
The House of Ciullo d'Alcamo is a residential building located in the town centre of Alcamo, in the province of Trapani, Italy. History The popular tradition assigns the property of this house to the poet Ciullo d'Alcamo; it is not easy to understand where this hearsay came from. Actually, they first tell about this house, which has nothing to do with Ciullo d'Alcamo, in 1854 in a list of sites of historical interest, belonging to the municipality of Alcamo, now missing. It does not have any architectural characteristics of the 13th century, the period in which the poet lived, and who, more probably, was born in the old town set on Mount Bonifato and called Longaricum, rather than in the present town of Alcamo. In 1892 Francesco Maria Mirabella, a historian from Alcamo, asserted that the portal was to be assigned to the end of the 16th century, later than the poet’s period.Carlo Cataldo-Benedetto Barranca: Cielo e il contrasto sul suo monumento;Alcamo, Sarograf, 1996 Today i ...
