Bronte, Agricultural mountain town in Sicily, Italy
Bronte extends across 250 square kilometers of terrain on the western slopes of Mount Etna at an elevation of 760 meters above sea level.
In 1799, King Ferdinand III established Bronte as a duchy and granted the title of Duke to Admiral Horatio Nelson for his support during the Naples revolution.
The Castello Nelson, transformed from a 12th-century Benedictine monastery, stands as a central monument representing the connection between Sicily and British naval history.
The town maintains a population of 18,209 residents and operates under the postal code 95034, with direct road connections to the Metropolitan City of Catania.
Local farmers cultivate pistachios in the volcanic soil of Mount Etna, producing nuts that grow exclusively in this specific geographical area of Sicily.
