						I PARCHI LETTERARI "IN THE DIMENSION OF THE JOURNEY" 
						- THE PLACES: MONTALLEGRO
							
							
								| 
								" A town (positioned) on a rocky hill 
								surrounded by bare summits, presumably it takes 
								its name from a fertile valley that is rich with 
								water" 
								(Stolberg) |  |  
								|  |  
						Originally the name of the first inhabited area was 
						Angiņ since it was positioned on an elevation (present 
						day Monte Suso) between Cattolica and Siculiana. Around 
						1600, due to a lack of water, the town was abandoned and 
						the settlement was moved to the plain below. While stopping in this town it is recommended to also 
						pay a visit to the Oasis of Montallegro, managed 
						by 
						LIPU, and located five kilometres from Eraclea 
						Minoa.
