A BIT OF HISTORY
Around 400 d. c. the mountains of Sicily were covered with extensive forests and the island was rich in wildlife. In S. Onofrio we would have ended in the middle of a thick forest of oaks and cork trees, in the company of wolves, foxes and deer, two steps from the sea. Today the thick forest no longer exists and has given way to the bush often torn apart by the fires. The merit of conservation was instead of the Marquis Artale family, in the sixteenth century, Sicily, also settled in these territories between Altavilla Milicia and Trabia.
The memory of this family remained in the name of the ancient tower and the farmhouse that arise Contrada Sant'Onofrio, now converted into hotel complex. The Artale family, once in possession of this land, made a vast hunting grounds surrounding it with a high solid wall just over two meters; mostly still it exists today and was built to discourage the depletion of the forest. It was also built a "cottage" on the mountain to comfortably accommodate the marquis and their guests. Some of the mammals that were interested in Marquis protect "withdrawals" unauthorized are still present: the hare, rabbits, porcupines and hedgehogs. Among the predators there are still elusive pine marten, weasel, wild cat and fox. Of the wolf, however, it has only the name of the nearby Pizzo Wolf.
