The photos and the description of all the principal Churches, of the Nelson Dukedom , the museum of the abbey, of the Real  Capizzi College, of the Old City Center with its small, tortuous, Arab like streets  and  other Bron­te's monuments, important and striking, to be visited or be seen, will help this important aspect of our town know and examine in detail.

We discover together our history, our mythological past that can be identified with the Union of the 24 Hamlets and the ancient Maniace's Abbey risen in the Maniace valley, close to the Saraceno torrent after the year 859 A.D.. The Castle, the Abbey, even the city of Bronte and its territory be­longed first to the Palermo Hospital and then to the heirs of Hora­tio Nelson. The vassalage suffered for centuries by the city was one of the principal causes of the misery and the riots. It brought hard­ship, epidemic but also, anticipating the times in 1887, the birth of the Society of the honest workmen and of the Ospedale Castiglione Prestianni.

Especially from 1700 to all of 1800, Bronte was a city fecund of illustrious personalities, a large number of "elected intel­ligences" formed in the big forge of Sicilian knowledge represented in those centuries by the College founded by Ignazio Capizzi. In the pages dedicated to the personalities will find the outstanding men's profile (Antonino Cairone, Nicola Spedalieri, Pietro Calanna, the Card. De Luca, the brothers  Cimbali, the historian Benedetto Radice,  Vincenzo Schilirò, ...), together with that of many others illustrious brontesi of our days  (Sciavarrello,  Zingale, Mario Lupo, Nicola Lupo, ...). We talk to you also about our Mayors, about  the  Parliamentarians and about the Council. Because of the indifference to memories memories of great men, with these pages we wish to remember the figures of our illustrious citizens and, above all, honor and recall from a forgotten past the best sons of our town.

In these pages we describe the fiestas Bronte's traditions (the Holy Friday, Annunziata Feast, the Sepulchers ...), the ty­pical Sweets and Bronte's traditional dishes. The local cuisine is rather poor, with simple and natural ingredients, countryman style, but, may­be because of that, contains old and genuine flavors and tastes now forgotten in other Italian regions.

The pages dedicated to  Envi­ron­ment will show some  impor­tant characteristic of  Bronte's territory and shall comment the most significant. We shall talk of the magni­ficent surveys and the varie­gated environment of  the large territory of  Bronte (the woods, the Sciara (lava) of the SS. Cristo, the volcano  Etna, the Difesa, "u Pagghiaru" ).
Our City gives to the Etna and Nebrodi park  and to the lava grottos of the  Simeto river, over one half of its  25.000 hectares of land

In this section we talk to you about the local economy and the "green gold of Bronte", the pistachio, a precious fruit of our land, in the various stages of its maturation. We also present the other local economic activities and the many genuine products originating in our territory (typical cheeses, fresh fruit, ...)

With these pages  we want to create a point of contact in which we can find ourselves together again in the Web; we want that other people may learn things about Bronte and let the citizens of Bronte  know fellow countrymen who live outside of our town. We ask all the brontese guys that still love their city, but above all,  the  ones scattered all over the world, (brontesi who have emigrated and their children, etc.) who have not forgotten their origin and that have heard of Bronte through their parents or their forefathers.
