Un'Isola al centro del mondo

''Il sesto giorno, Iddio, compì la sua opera e lieto d'aver creato tanto bello, prese la terra tra le mani e la baciò. Là, dove lui posò le labbra, è la SICILIA centro del mondo.''

   (Anonimo Siciliano)

           

The central position of Sicily in the Mediterranean took different values \u200b\u200bin different historical periods.

Sicily had seemed almost the navel of the world the classical era. This role has been for centuries.

He had since prehistoric times because it is geographically the center of trade, migration and conflict. He had coveted prey of conquerors in ancient times because the most ambitious and strong, however, are soon to become "Sicilian" and Sicily and Sicily have pursued their further development.

He lost to Rome, where he became a province. He regained full with the Arabs, the Normans and the Swabians : emirate, Sicily, kingdom, empire . Quattrocentodiciannove years of greatness and an example for the people, and star center of the Mediterranean and Europe, land development and immigration from South and North, East and West. He lost, for now, with the deep crisis of the Mediterranean , switching traffic over the Atlantic, the logic of blocs and the Cold War, globalization .

Sicily, for centuries, since 1250, the year of the death of Emperor Frederick , viene trascinata dove gli altri la portano: col sistema imperiale spagnolo, con altri grandi e piccoli dominatori, con l’Italia, con l’Occidente, con l’Europa, con la superpotenza americana.
Chi ha relegato la Sicilia al ruolo di marginalità ed emarginazione vuole e fa in modo che i Siciliani stessi dimentichino la propria storia e perdano la propria lingua e cultura.

I musulmani di Sicilia? Un accidente della storia, un elemento di discontinuità.
Ruggero II re di Sicilia? Il re normanno. Federico II , Stupor mundi? L’imperatore svevo, l’Hohenstaufen. Il Palazzo “Reale” di Palermo , seat of the kings of Sicily? The Palace of the Normans (as they call it, all).
And to think that Sicily was an original workshop of cooperation between peoples and cultures. That all cultures just mentioned were in Sicily, which have profoundly affected, that the present character of the Sicilian is the result of this extraordinary cooperation.

Sicily was and has remained short, and has acquired a unique culture that allows it, especially at this time, to send a message to all the peoples of the Mediterranean (Tunisia, Egypt, Libya , etc..) seeking democracy and freedom.
