Lercara Friddi is a ''comune'' (municipality) in the Province of Palermo in the Italian region Sicily, located about southeast of Palermo. Founded in 1595 by local feudataries, it is on the slopes of Madore Hill, between the valleys of Fiumetorto and Platani rivers. In the past it was an important mining centre, the only one in the province of Palermo where sulphur was excavated. __NOTOC__On December 25, 1893, eleven people were killed in the Lercara Friddi massacre during the Fasci Siciliani uprising after a rally of peasants and sulphur miners that asked for the abolition of taxes and better working conditions.〔 (Natale 1893, la strage di Lercara ), La Sicilia, December 31, 2010〕 ==Notable people== *Andrea Finocchiaro Aprile (1878-1964), politician *Mauro Picone (1885-1977), mathematician *Anthony Martin Sinatra (1892-1969), professional boxer and father of singer, Frank Sinatra *Lucky Luciano (1897-1962), gangster *Pietro Scaglione (1906-1971), magistrate *Nicolò Nicolosi (1912-1986), football player and manager *Pietro Lo Forte (1920-2004), musician *Frédéric François (b. 1950), singer-songwriter *Daniel Bellino-Zwicke (b. 1958), cookbook author〔B0055FI0CA〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lercara Friddi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
