Proceedings of Symposium on Archaeology of Sicily. University of São Paulo, 3-5 April 2019
Editors: L. Fuduli - V. Lo Monaco
Sicily has always been a land desired by many peoples and enriched by the presence of different cultures and so today offers an unparalleled cultural richness. In the current historical moment, so delicate and polemical, in which the debate on immigration politics and on integration of new components from different cultures, looking at the past of Sicily, through the lens of archaeological studies, certainly raises important considerations which may contribute to our reflection on social and cultural changes caused by human coexistence.
Μεγίστη καὶ ἀρίστη νῆσος is the title of this symposium dedicated to the Archeology of Sicily, which was held at the University of São Paulo from 3 to 5 April 2019. Taken from Strabo (Geog. II, 5, 19), this expression is contextualized when this ancient author describes the main islands of the Occidental Mediterranean: “On the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea to the coast of Liguria there are many islands, the largest of which are Sardinia and Cirno, and then Sicily: this is the greatest and the noblest among other [islands] that are among us”. Strabo was a Greek man, born in a city of Turkey, but educated in a Hellenic context, therefore, his perspective agrees with the universalist concept of the Roman Empire. He does not express an aesthetic opinion about the island, but in the passage quoted above one notices the complexity of a land, a place of crucial events in the history of the Mediterranean, that is a palimpsest of cultures, inhabited since the “Time of the Myth”. Therefore, in our perspective, the name chosen for this symposium characterizes Sicily in each period, since its location in the Mediterranean, its resources and its cultural wealth made it a desirable land at any time in history.
