Adrano celebrates San Nicolò Politi on 2 - 3 - 4 August

Located on a lava plateau overlooking the Simeto river valley, Adrano enjoys renowned agricultural production, including citrus fruits, olives, pistachios and vegetables. The etymology of the name Adrano is derived from the Latin "Adranon," in honor of the god of the same name. The first settlement dates back to 400 BC. and was founded by Dionysius I near an ancient temple dedicated to this divinity. In 344 BC, it was the scene of the famous Battle of Adranon between Leontini and Corinthians. Subsequently, it was subjected to Roman rule, going through a long period of decline. During the period of Arab domination, it became a powerful feudal village and under the Norman dynasty it transformed into a county of considerable importance, known as Adernò. Among the notable architectural structures to visit are the Norman Mother Church, the monastery of Santa Lucia and the church of Sant'Agostino, which houses an inlaid marble altar. Among the buildings of importance, the 14th century Catalan castle stands out, now used as an archaeological museum, and the Bellini theater from 1846, built in Art Nouveau style.

The Salinelle dei Cappuccini are part of three similar sites in the vicinity of the municipality of Paternò. In each of these sites, volcanic activity in the subsoil generates the release of mud, salt water and gas to the surface. The Salinelle dei Cappuccini owe their name to the presence of a convent of the Capuchin friars towards the end of the 16th century, a convent later abandoned due to the unhealthy air.
