  Polizzi Generosa, Palermo Italy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Polizzi Generosa, which is in the heart of the Madonie Park, is eighty kilometres from Palermo.
Afterwards, Polizzi was always a demesnal town, a title that it proudly preserved and when required defended doggedly: for example, towards the end of the 14th century the townspeople collected and paid into the royal coffer an exorbitant sum in order to get free of the seigniory of one Raimondo Caprera.
The cultural liveliness of Polizzi is reflected today in the interesting Lancia di Brolo Municipal Library, inaugurated in 1890 thanks to a donation by Fed-erico Lancia di Brolo and to the book patrimony that originally belonged to the monastic buildings - one of the richest small-town libraries in all Sicily.

 Holiday villa in Palermo, Polizzi Generosa with walking, rural retreat   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Indeed Polizzi Generosa is one of the towns of the Madonie mountains that boasts the most ancient origins.
But Polizzi reached its highest splendour during the Renaissance when it became the central junction of a very important road system, thanks to the opening of two royal “trazzere” (country roads) that connected Palermo and Messina, to the north, and the area of Licata, to the south.
This road was of great economical interests, so to live in Polizzi and own large estates along the river banks to control commerce and duties, meant gaining a total dominion on the wheat road from the northern to the southern coast of Sicily.
