Borgo dei Parrini was born in the early 1600s, when the priests of the Society of Jesus, called "parrini" in Sicilian dialect, decided to buy land near Partinico.

At the beginning of the 1700s, the Jesuits built watchtowers, warehouses, houses and a small church dedicated to Maria Santissima del Rosario. The Jesuit Order was suppressed and the property passed to the French prince Henri d'Orléans.

After World War II, the local population moved to the cities, and as a result the village remained abandoned. The degradation that took place lasted until the end of the nineties, when, on the initiative of the entrepreneur Giuseppe Gaglio, an "original" recovery slowly got under way which involved the small village.

Borgo dei Parrini is a small rural hamlet located within the municipality of Partinico (PA) in Sicily, Italy.

Founded by the Jesuit fathers in the 17th century, from which it takes its name (in Sicilian, parrini means 'fathers'/'priests'). The recent intervention of a local entrepreneur has transformed the small agricultural village, partly decadent, into a corner with eccentric houses vaguely inspired by the style of Antoni Gaudí. This intervention has been arousing growing tourist interest in recent years.
