History
The settlement was founded as Mussolinia di Sicilia, one of several settlements across Italy founded by the fascist government of Benito Mussolini. In 1943 during World War II, this was one of the sites of the Biscari massacre, the massacre of 73 Axis soldiers altogether. The current name was adopted after World War II.
