<br />
La costruzione del castello si inquadrava in un progetto che mirava a rendere il territorio controllato militarmente. Il Castello Svevo di Augusta unendosi alle fortezze di Catania e Siracusa estendevano il dominio e un controllo capillare su un più vasto territorio.

  • CERTALDO (FLORENCE), ITALY - 19 JANUARY 2015: Interior of a bedroom of the Castle of Tavolese, in Certaldo, approximately 50km from Florence, Italy, on January 19th 2015.<br />
<br />
The castle was built in the 13th century and was inhabited by Farinata degli Uberti, an Italian aristocrat and military leader, considered by some of his contemporaries to be a heretic. He is remembered mostly for his appearance in Dante Alighieri's Inferno. There are more than 7,000 square meters of interior surface and 62 hectares of land (among which are 14 ha of olive grove and <br />
11ha of vineyards).<br />
<br />
The high maintenance costs and the increasing property taxes have  convinced the owners of historical and luxury properties to consider the opportunity to sell their real estate to foreign markets, that are the only ones interested. in such offers.<br />
<br />
The castle is listed in a portfolio of 70 castles managed by Lionard Luxury Real Estate, a company founded in Florence in 2008.

  • ACI CASTELLO, ITALY - 3 OCTOBER 2021: Grace Motta (21) holds her son Antonino at the Copacabana restaurant, where the family celebrated the baptism with a buffet, in Aci Castello, Italy, on October 3rd 2021.<br />
<br />
The Roman Catholic diocese of Catania ended a grace period and imposed a three-year ban on the ancient tradition of naming godparents at baptisms and christenings, arguing that the once essential figure in a child’s Catholic education had lost all spiritual significance, becoming a mere connection for material gain and family ties — and sometimes mob ties — and should be at least temporarily scrapped. Other dioceses, including in the Tuscan city of Grosseto also announced plans this month to restrict the figure, and Pope Francis has expressed interest in the idea, according to the Calabrian archbishop who first floated it to him more than five years ago.<br />
<br />
That tainted notion of the godfather became most popularized by The Godfather, especially the iconic baptism scene when Michael Corleone renounces Satan in church as his henchmen whack all his enemies. But church officials warn that secularization more than anything led them to rub the godfather out.
