According to Pirri, this monastery was one of the communities that came under St. Savior's jurisdiction. It is not clear to us, though, what the relationship is between the "S. Stephanus apud Messanam" in this group and the "S. Stephanus apud Mess." that is included in communities that remained independent.

"The foundation of the great abbey of St. Savior in Lingua Phari at Messina by Roger II in 1131-34, and the organization of most of the Greek houses of Sicily under its archimandrite into a sort of congregation, has generally been regarded as the climax of the Hellenic renaissance in the Norman realm. But it was actually a desperate effort to check the dissolution of Count Roger I's work of restoration." White (n. 5) says that he has not been able to explain why certain ones remained independent of the abbey.

A Greek-language document (Spata includes an Italian-language translation) records (among other things) that Countess Adelasia allows the monastery of San Filippo di Fragalà the right to build mills on the Panagia River. "... al fiume di Panagia aver voi libertà di far molini per sostentamento e somministrazione del santo monastero." The year is 1101.

Located on a hill in one of Piazza Armerina’s suburbs, the former monastery has few neighbors. Although there are roads and a gravel path that lead into the city, there are just a few villas and hills nearby. It is not often disturbed, as it is solely used for wedding ceremonies of which there are just a few every year. Though none were seen during the visit, there is evidence that goats and sheep have access to the site and that it may be used for grazing. They are not the only creatures great or small that have been on the grounds – there are bird droppings and feathers throughout as well. A shrub field with a gravel path lies to the north of the former monastery. Though Sant’Andrea sees little parochial traffic, when we were at the site in 2019, the sacristan described how it sometimes serves as a base for late-night revelry. As a result, the site is littered and graffitied and there are few funds available to help care for the grounds more aggressively. Regularly sized and spaced holes are carved into the building’s exterior, perhaps suggesting the former presence of wooden beams that supported other structures. Though it seems that the original doorway remains, it is quite heavily damaged; on the western façade’s northern side, the interior column has been destroyed except for the base. The southern side has fared better; the columns are almost completely intact. A modern staircase of an undetermined date descends from this doorway. Sant’Andrea’s interior has been more carefully maintained than its exterior – though much of the area has been redone and the original decoration is no longer visible, it was restored with an eye to honoring the original style. There are fragments of Crusader art murals that now hang framed on the former monastery’s walls. A bulletin board contains some more in-depth but as-yet-unverified information about Sant’Andrea’s history. The monastery was run by the Regular Canons of the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem and was a stop for pilgrims on their way to the Holy Land. The materials also detailed some of the problems with the site that were not immediately obvious. For example, the roof has been heavily damaged and water enters freely when it rains. In addition, humidity has degraded the building’s stones and presents major challenges to the murals’ preservation.

Giunta (Il monachesimo basiliano, 729) lists the monastery under the heading "Val di Mazara" but then locates it "presso S. Nicola l'Arena," which is located in Catania and, therefore, this Saint Onufrius would actually be in the Val di Noto. But Scaduto (Il monachesimo basiliano, 125 n. 208), whom Giunta cites, writes "Sembra che anche quest'altro monastero di S. Onofrio fosse pure in origine basiliano, costruito non lungi da quello di S. Michele [di Campogrosso] e di cui al tempo di Pirri restava solo vestigium nominis." Saint Michael (earlier known as "Saint Mary") of Campogrosso is located in the Val di Mazara, near Altavilla Milicia.

There is some confusion here. Although Giunta lists White as a source, the only reference we can find in White's book to a St. Theodore in Palermo is found on page 11, a reference to a sixth-century document. This house does not appear in the list of Basilian monasteries White provides on pages 41-43.

Basilians then Cistercians as of 1188
The location of this house is unclear. White (Latin Monasticism, 178-179) places it, with some reservation, in Calabria whereas Scaduto (Il monachesimo basiliano, 142-143), drawing on Garufi, argues for Sicily. Giunta (Il monachesimo basiliano, 729) records a date of earliest document at 1167, though White focuses on the document from January 1188 that records the conversion of this Basilian monastery into a Cistercian house.

"The foundation of the great abbey of St. Savior in Lingua Phari at Messina by Roger II in 1131-34, and the organization of most of the Greek houses of Sicily under its archimandrite into a sort of congregation, has generally been regarded as the climax of the Hellenic renaissance in the Norman realm. But it was actually a desperate effort to check the dissolution of Count Roger I's work of restoration." White (n. 5) says that he has not been able to explain why certain ones remained independent of the abbey. (45)

Also lists as a source Cyril Korolevskij, Basiliens italo-grecs et espagnoles, Dictionnaire d’histoire et de géographie ecclésiastiques, vol. VI (Paris: 1932), cols. 1180-1236 (at 1199).

Located at the top of a steep set of stairs that give way to a street lined with neolithic archeological sites, the current church of San Bartolomeo is easy to access. Although nothing from the Norman period appears to remain on the exterior (though it was impossible for us to tell as we were unable to walk around the entire exterior), the back of the current church offers a view of the sea the monks would have had; the site is on a cliff with a sheer drop to the water. Inside the church is the Norman cloister. Lynn White noted in 1938 that traces of the exterior apse remained, though it seems he was not aware of the extent of the cloister's survival ("The exterior of the apse of the cathedral of St. Bartholomew on Lipari would seem to be a fragment of the Norman church; however, I could find no reliable information on the subject." (Latin Monasticism, 99)). It wasn't fully uncovered until 1978, when Luigi Pastore, the church's long-serving sacristan, noticed other clues and notified the Soprintendenza of Messina, which began excavation.
Inside one gets a sense of the "recycling" that went on - fluted columns from Roman houses were freely adapted and integrated into the cloister, providing support for the double barrel-vaulted ceilings. The Roman houses, in their turn, were built over preexisting Greek structures. Apparently, the area was for long a site of religious observance; a temple to Hephaestus and an early Christian church may have preceded the monastery. Though intriguing, this reuse makes stone assessment at the site difficult, as it is hard to discern the stones' ages. Note that the first sustainability reading - the one for the column - was performed on one recycled from a Roman house.
From the cloister’s ambulatory, one can look out into the now-barren courtyard that served as the monastic community's contemplative space. While some of the columns' capitals may be of an earlier style, there are others that seem to be medieval (or, at least, fashioned in a medieval style). Remnants of wall painting from a later period are especially visible near the cloister’s entrance, where it is connected to the cathedral. This was an exceptionally important monastery during the Norman period. It was made a bishopric on September 14, 1131 by Antipope Anacletus II though in 1139, it was reduced to its previous status. Its abbot is referred to as "electus" in Sicily after September 1156, but was not consecrated bishop until late 1166.

"The foundation of the great abbey of St. Savior in Lingua Phari at Messina by Roger II in 1131-34, and the organization of most of the Greek houses of Sicily under its archimandrite into a sort of congregation, has generally been regarded as the climax of the Hellenic renaissance in the Norman realm. But it was actually a desperate effort to check the dissolution of Count Roger I's work of restoration." White (n. 5) says that he has not been able to explain why certain ones remained independent of the abbey. (45) White locates this monastery in the diocese of Patti.

King William II allows Matthew of Ajello to transform his house in Palermo into the monastery of Santa Maria dei Latini: ". . . Te, itaque Mathee magister notarie et dilecte familiaris noster, ob ingentia et grata servicia, quibus iam diu benignitatem et gratia domini regis Willelmi pie memorie patris nostri plenarie meruisti ob cotidiana quoque et devota obsequia, quibus nos ad favendum et promovendum tibi reddis merito proptiores, clementer in tuis precibus exaudimus et ad satisfaciendum pro voto et iuste petitioni tue, regie celsitudinis nostre aurem benignissimam inclinamus. Sanctum igitur et iustum propositum tuum favorabiliter prosequentes, iuxta desiderium et instantem petitionem tuam concessimus, ut in urbe Panormi de domo tua sumptibus tuis emptam et edificatam, monasterium facias; tibique liberam tribuimus facultatem concedendi donandi et assignandi in perpetuum ipsi monasterio casale tuum, quod dicitur Carrabule. prefati genitoris nostri sancte recordationis regia tibi liberalitate concessum . . . ." The year is 1169.

"The nunnery contained at least two chapels: That of St. Eustachius, where it had two Latin priests, and that of St. Paul, served by a Greek priest. One is tempted to believe that the monastery was also connected with a preexisting church of St. Mary of the Latins, to which, in April 6673 (1165), ind. 13, the widow Filiberta willed two taris. This would seem to be identical with the 'ecclesia S. Marie de Cancellario' to which on the 16 March 1186, ind. 4, regni 22, Theocritus Mairosini of Chioggia left three taris. A church of Santa Maria del Cancelliere still exists in Palermo, near the Quattro Canti, but if anything of the Norman structure still exists it is completely obscured by baroque 'improvements' of the late sixteenth century."

Field Visit
During our July 2019 visit, Mr. Basilio Segreto, a local historian and moderator of the Facebook group Siciliantica Sede di Sant’Angelo di Brolo, suggested that, based on legends that surround Roger I’s conquest of the region and a document from 1092 that refers to a pre-existing location, the original monastery was located farther up in the hills surrounding the town. The new medieval community was formed by the count as he collected various Greek monks who were living in the area as hermits. According to this hypothesis, the monks moved to the current location sometime during the 16th century. Although this is not known for certain, it appears that the monastery was rebuilt in the mid-16th century; the following years, Mr. Segreto reports, were very favorable to the monastic community due to silk production and, later, the cultivation of hazelnut trees. The site was converted into a cemetery following the religious suppression of the mid-19th century; today, its nave provides a footprint for its main corridor and the cloister offers an enclosure for a certain section of the interments. We are enormously grateful to Mr. Segreto and to Ms. Angela Princiotto for sharing both their knowledge and time with us.

(45) White notes that later, in 1143, Count Simon of Paternò and his wife, Countess Thomasia, made a generous donation to the Abbey of Licodia that included St. Nicholas of Canneto. (122)

White (n. 5) says that he has not been able to explain why certain ones remained independent of the abbey. (45)

This was purportedly a summer location for the monks in Santa Maria di Licodia. It has now been restored and is used as a restaurant and as a wedding venue. This structure was brought to our attention during a visit to Santa Maria di Licodia in July 2016; we are not yet aware of other sources that attest to Norman origins for this building.

"Hic apud Giracium, ubi comes turrim firmaverat, demum defensabilem incipiens, paulatim provehendo et interdum dissimulando, fortissimam turrim fecit, Giracenses omnes suis adulationibus et favoribus sibi attrahens, et, sacramentis datis et acceptis, in amicitia confoederans. Quod cum comiti renunciatum fuisset, insolentiam eius animadvertens et in futurum timens, ne forte fiducia turris in aliquod deterius consilium reverteretur, turrim in modum domus habitabilis deponere humiliter jubet, increpans eum quod, se inconsulto, tale quid praesumpsisset. Ille vero cum Giracensibus consilium habens pravum, definito ipsis se auxilium laturos promittentibus, beneficii sibi collati, ut assolet inter degeneres, oblitus, contra comitem recalcitrare, potius quam oboedire, indecenter elegit. Quod cum comiti compertum fuisset, Giracensibus ut turrim destruant et Ingelmarum captioni suae reddant, imperat. Quibus — non tam fidelitate Ingelmari, sed quia omne genus nostrae gentis illis invisum erat, et magis discordias inter nostros, quam pacem, fieri expectabant — id agere recusantibus, comes, legalitatem suam servans, hactenus homini suo diflidentiam in posterum mandat, sicque, admoto exercitu, versus Giracium obsessum pergit. Ingelmarus 'vero, astu Giracensium animos demulcens, aliquanto tempore suae ineptiae complices detinuit. At, cum viderent se a comite exterius interiusque praegravari, coeperunt et ipsi a stulto proposito deficere et fatigari. Quod Ingelmarus advertens, territus ne ab ipsis comiti traderetur et ipsi reconciliarentur, profugus evadens, discessit. Uxor autem eius, ad misericordiam comitis veniens, pia recordatione nepotis, cuius uxor fuerat, salvis omnibus quae habebat, ad maritum conductum meruit devenire. Comes vero, reconciliatis Graecis, Giracium recepit." The year is 1082.

"Propelled by this great desire [to take Castrogiovanni]--in the year of the Incarnation of the Word 1074--[Roger I] built a fortress on Mt. Calascibetta, which he furnished with knights and all the supplies they needed, and began to harass Castrogiovanni most aggressively." The year is 1074.

Countess Adelicia of Adernò gave this monastery to the Augustinian Canons of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem in a charter that White suggests was dated September 11, 1160. (230) On the same page (n. 5), he notes that although the word "priory" is not specifically used for this community, "the importance of its holdings justifies belief" that is was one.

Field Visit
The guide given out at the church reads that the monastery was founded by Robert Guiscard in 1071, becoming one of the richest in Sicily. Nothing from the Norman structure survives, however, as a bombardment in 1943 destroyed whatever remained (which had been incorporated into a modern building which today hosts a school). It also reads that according to tradition, Empress Costanza, daughter of Roger II, may have been an abbess of this Basilian convent and that Santa Rosalia, Palermo's patron, may have also been a Basilian nun there; a bilingual inscription in Greek and Latin records the discovery of one of her books inside the church.

In September 2019, Max Wilson (B.A., architecture, Yale University) performed the field survey and photographed the site. The site, as identified by the coordinates, is located within the walls of the Villa Mancini, a privately owned bed and breakfast. Max was therefore unable to enter the site and determine if remains of the abbey exist. A sign on the villa's outer wall identified the adjacent street as "Via Roccamotore," and as a "Strada Privata." The villa is located in a suburban, residential area south of Messina.

Possibly refounded by Roger I, who gave the monastery to the Benedictine order, the site is now located in one of Agira’s piazze – embedded in an urban context. Not much of its long history is obvious from the exterior; the building was refaced in the early 20th century but had been rebuilt in the 18th, after the monastery had been destroyed by an earthquake in 1693. Little trace from the Norman period is to be found inside, though columns (with replaced capitals) in a chapel on the south side of the church and an external archway off the eastern flank may date to the Middle Ages. Memory of the Normans linger in the sacristy where a painting of Roger I by Filippo Randazzo hangs (we were unable to view this work during our visit). Inside the church, it is clear that the local population traces the ultimate foundation of this monastery to a Basilian community that pre-dated the Normans.

Field Visit
In July 2019, we met a representative of the Museo Archeologico Lillibeo at the site. It has been rebuilt, having suffered significant damage during World War II, and there is no sign of a Norman presence. Excessive vegetation prevented us from accessing the interior. Michele, the representative, told us that up until approximately 30 years ago the site was in use but then was closed on account of structural concerns. Until about 15 years ago, it was possible to access the entrance. He also shared that the site has been vandalized and we were told that an altar and a statue of the Virgin Mary have been taken.

"The foundation of the great abbey of St. Savior in Lingua Phari at Messina by Roger II in 1131-34, and the organization of most of the Greek houses of Sicily under its archimandrite into a sort of congregation, has generally been regarded as the climax of the Hellenic renaissance in the Norman realm. But it was actually a desperate effort to check the dissolution of Count Roger I's work of restoration." White (n. 5) says that he has not been able to explain why certain ones remained independent of the abbey. (45)

In his index (497), Scaduto lists this as a dependency of Saint Theodore donated by Roger I to Saint Philip of Fragalà in 1097. On 108, he dates the donation to the Byzantine year 6605, which he converts to 1196-1197. However, the conversion seems to be an error and should read 1096-1097, years that fall within Roger I's reign. The conversion Scaduto gives on 403 (6605=1097) is correct.

"The foundation of the great abbey of St. Savior in Lingua Phari at Messina by Roger II in 1131-34, and the organization of most of the Greek houses of Sicily under its archimandrite into a sort of congregation, has generally been regarded as the climax of the Hellenic renaissance in the Norman realm. But it was actually a desperate effort to check the dissolution of Count Roger I's work of restoration." White (n. 5) says that he has not been able to explain why certain ones remained independent of the abbey.

The monastery's location in Villafranca Sicula is taken from Giunta; neither White nor Scaduto place in geographically. Scaduto writes: "Di S. Nicolò di Ise non ci è possibile stabilire il sito.

"The foundation of the great abbey of St. Savior in Lingua Phari at Messina by Roger II in 1131-34, and the organization of most of the Greek houses of Sicily under its archimandrite into a sort of congregation, has generally been regarded as the climax of the Hellenic renaissance in the Norman realm. But it was actually a desperate effort to check the dissolution of Count Roger I's work of restoration." White (n. 5) says that he has not been able to explain why certain ones remained independent of the abbey. (45)

Bishop Ivanus of Catania weighs in on a dispute between the Abbey of Santissimo Salvatore, Messina, and a church of Catania at Mascali. The abbey is allowed to build the mill so long as Catania's interests are not compromised. ". . . concessimus eis medietatem terre nostre quam iuxta molendinum nostrum habebamus pro descensu asinorum, et alia medietas terre ipsius remansit nobis, et ut habeant licentiam irrigare terram suam ab aqua desuper molendinum nostrum ita tamen ut molendinum nostrum non perdat suum molere, magis quam solet preterito tempore ante hanc concordiam. Hec omnia fuerunt facta inter nos, et illos tali conditione ut Ecclesia eorum de prefato molendino nostro nequaquam faciat nobis molestiam vel impedimentum." The year is 1144. (260-261) White suggests that this house may have existed before 1101. (43)

"But the mountain that they inhabited was protected on all sides by steep cliffs so that there was no place open to ascend from any side, with the sole exception of a narrow and skillfully cut path that allowed the citizens to come and go. Moreover walls, which extended a long way on both sides, protected this path all the way up to the gate at the highest point. Plus this mountain was too large in circumference to close it off with a siege. So the count [Roger I] set up bases in those spots from which he figured raids against the enemy could be launched most effectively." The year is 1078.

The authors identify this as an "emerging drainage gallery," which they define as systems "...used to intercept
and collect the underground water that they cross, in order to improve
the flow rate and the efficiency of natural springs. They are made up of
a simple gallery or trench with a shallow enough slope so as to allow
water to flow freely towards the downstream outlet."

White does not include this monastery in his list of Basilian monasteries because, he says, there is no evidence that it was occupied by Greek monks in the Norman period. (41) Yet, on 191 n. 1, it appears that he sugests that this was, indeed, a Basilian abbey. For this reason, the monastic identity of this house has been left blank.

Field Visit
The gentleman who provided access in July 2016 claimed there had been Muslim burials discovered there three or four years prior. Some had jewelry (he mentioned a necklace and ring, specifically). Among the remains were a mother and a baby. A few of the images show the pavement where he said they are located. At this time, there was a pending plan to open the burials for viewing by covering them with glass. In October 2019, however, this account was challenged by Antonio Mursia, a Ph.D. candidate in the Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici at the Università degli Studi di Catania, who said that the burials were exclusively Christian, with the earliest dating to the twelfth century. A cross discovered in one of the tombs likely comes from either the tenth or eleventh century. It may have functioned as a reliquary.

"Judging by the order of the names of Adelaide and Count Roger, this church of the Holy Spirit, still standing about three miles from Caltanissetta, was founded and endowed while Adelaide [Adelasia] was regent . . . ."

There is some confusion here. White sees this as a separate house that may have been also referred to as "San Michele di Fulgerino" and "San Michele di Filarino" (42). Scaduto, however, asserts (80) that San Michele/Sant'Angelo di Ficarra was the same house as San Michele/Sant'Angelo di Brolo (attested to as of 1084) and that San Michele di Fulgerino/San Michele di Filarino, located in Linguaglossa, is not attested to until the 15th century.

"In conclusion, it seems impossible, as yet, to disentangle the various monasteries at Syracuse dedicated to St. Lucy. We may be certain only of this: that after 1140 one such church was a priory of Augustinian canons subject to Cefalù." (204)

In his index (497), Scaduto lists this as a dependency of Saint Theodore donated by Roger I to Saint Philip of Fragalà in 1097. On 108, he dates the donation to the Byzantine year 6605, which he converts to 1196-1197. However, the conversion seems to be an error and should read 1096-1097, years that fall within Roger I's reign. The conversion Scaduto gives on 403 (6605=1097) is correct.

In September 2019, Max Wilson (B.A., architecture, Yale University) performed the field survey, CSSI assessments, and photographed the site. Max was accompanied by Dr. Roberto Motta and Carmelo Magaraci, who owns a hotel in the area and offered to guide the group. The remains of the monastery are located on a plateau in a rural area outside the town of Francavilla di Sicilia. One must park on the shoulder of the SS185 highway and walk west on an unmarked footpath that leads through private property to reach the plateau. The trip requires crossing over the San Paolo River, which at the time of the visit was dry, but which, according to Mr. Magaraci, can flood, rendering the site completely inaccessible. The site entrance is marked by a barbed wire fence with a makeshift gate that is difficult to open. There is a strenuous hike up and around the side of a hill through dense brush to the west side of the plateau. There are no regular hours posted online or at the site. One first approaches the western side of the facade where the remains of the two entrance portal structures stand. What remains of the south structure is a low wall. The north structure consists of a stone wall and the remnants of the four walls that would have made up an adjacent chamber. To the east of the west facade lie the remains of the palmento, which consist of several small stone archways that run north to south. To the east of the palmento, stands a stone wall with a regular pattern of pieces missing, which may indicate where windows once were, forming the outer wall of the monks' cells. Directly to the south of the cell structure stands the ruins of the chapel, which appear to have once been connected to the cells. To the west of the chapel, one finds a hollowed-out space in the ground with a stone bottom. The rough silhouette of a man is carved into the stone, indicating that the space may have once functioned as a tomb. On the southeast corner of the site, there is another large hole, which functioned as a cistern to capture and store rainwater. The site is located in a seismic zone and seismic activity may pose a significant risk to the structures. Droppings indicate animals are present at the site. There is no signage whatsoever, which may render the site vulnerable to trespassing and vandalism. A brief historical note: little is known about the community, which was abandoned in the 18th century.

In September 2019, Max Wilson (B.A., architecture, Yale University) performed the field survey, CSSI assessments, and photographed the site. The church is located in the city center of Catania on a mixed residential and retail block named Via Santa Maddalena. The site stands on an incline, with views to the sea and the eastern expanse of Catania. In front of the church there is a small piazza named for the church, which functions as a parking lot. The church is accessible to visitors—locals and tourist alike—and keeps regular hours posted online and at the site. Guides stationed inside the church give tours for a small fee. The church is oriented along an east-west axis, with its main façade facing west towards Via Santa Maddalena. The church is surrounded on all sides by neighboring buildings. To the south stands a three-story building that may have originally functioned as the church’s cloister, but now appears to be a residential building. To the north stands a courtyard that connects to an adjoining building with residential and retail space. To the east, behind the apse, stands Chiesa Cattolica di Sant'Agata al Carcere. The building plan consists of a single nave with an apse. A small chapel is attached to the church's southern facade, which looks out onto a small walled-in courtyard. The church bell tower is located on top of the apse and is accessible with the permission of the guides. There is a large crypt with an ossuary and a room used for draining the blood of corpses called a colatoio. According to the guide, these rooms served the aristocratic men and women of Catania who wished to be laid to rest in the church. Adjacent to the crypt are the remains of a wall constructed during the Roman Empire, which have been excavated and conserved. The church's main feature is its façade of alternating light and dark stone—the hallmark of Catanese baroque architecture. The entry portal is articulated on either side by decorative pilasters in light stone, and above by a broken pediment. Pilasters also mark the corners of the facade and extend to the entablature, which is crowned by a triangular pediment also rendered in light stone. The baroque interior is relatively simple: white decorative molding frames the ornamental pilasters, clerestory windows, and arches. The barrel-vaulted ceiling is also painted white. The informational sign outside the central portal identifies the building as the former site of the monastery of Sant'Agata di Catania and its annexed abbey church, both of which were constructed in 1091. This original church was the first Norman cathedral in Sicily, though the bishopric was transferred three years later, in 1094, to its present location, the Catania Duomo, Cattedrale di Sant'Agata. The church was thus renamed La Vetere to distinguish it from the new Duomo.
The earthquake of 1693 destroyed the church, which was rebuilt in 1722. It was modified several times thereafter due to damage from subsequent earthquakes.
The informational sign suggests that the crypt was the only part of the building to survive the 1693 earthquake. This might indicate that there are Norman remains within the crypt, though the guide said there were none. In fact, when asked, the guide claimed erroneously that there had never been a Norman building on the site.
The church is located in a seismic zone and seismic activity still poses a significant risk. Pollution from cars parked in the piazza and traffic on the busy thoroughfare of Via Santa Maddalena may also pose a risk to the building's stone. Vandalism (which was present at the site), litter in and around the site, and generally poor maintenance also remain active threats.

The monastery had been converted into a fortress by Charles V in the 1540s. The twelfth-century monastery was completely destroyed by the explosion of a powder magazine. After some time, the monks were relocated to a new location in 1573, a complex in the Baroque style situated in the Charybdis neighborhood.

The ruins of Santa Maria di Adriano are located high up in the mountains of the Sosio Valley Nature Reserve. The site is difficult to reach without an all-terrain vehicle and a local who is familiar with the landscape. In July 2019, the comune put us in touch with a resident who was willing to make the journey. It appears that until a few years ago, the path to the monastery and the immediately surrounding area was much easier to reach. Since that time, though, the territory has suffered from extensive overgrowth, as the images demonstrate. Once there, we were able to see the remaining walls of the monastery; traces of the paint suggest that the structure had been redone in a later style, though it is impossible to determine the extent of the reconstruction. As far as we can tell, two levels of the structure survive. The state of the building is incredibly poor and it is dangerous to enter its confines. With that said, it is clear that both animals and humans have sheltered there in the recent past and local lore has it that criminal elements have sought refuge in the ruin.

In September 2019, Max Wilson (B.A., architecture, Yale University) performed the field survey, CSSI assessments, and photographed the site. Max was accompanied by Dr. Roberto Motta and a local priest, Father Adriano, who had access to the church. A flight of stairs leads from the main street of Raccuja down a terraced hill to the residential area where the church is located. There are no regular hours posted online or at the site. The church is oriented along a north-south axis, with the main facade and portal facing north. Directly in front of the church (to the north) lies a small clearing overgrown with weeds and bordered by a fence, which demarcates a neighboring agricultural plot. To the east of the church stands a private dwelling, which is connected to the church via a gated alley. To the west and directly abutting the church is an abandoned and dilapidated stone structure. Father Adriano did not know the history of the structure, but believed it could have been part of the monastery's original cloister. The church plan consists of a single nave and apse. The walls of the interior are finished with white plaster. A stone archway with baroque pilasters separates the nave from the apse, where the altar lies. A blind arcade filled with statuary and other works of art lines the interior walls of the nave. A series of clerestory windows in the walls of the nave, and a single window just above the portal of the north façade, allow light into the interior. The wooden rafters of the pitched roof are exposed. A stone hatch in the floor, located near the church entrance, leads to a crypt. Father Adriano had never been to the crypt and was unsure how to access it. The church's north facade has a central portal framed in stone, above which rests a clerestory window. The building's corners are articulated by masonry quoins. One of the church’s notable features is the Greek key design carved into the stone ledge leading to the portal. A recent study by Professor Carmelo La Mancusa, Il Monastero di San Nicolò del Fico di Raccuja (Brolo: Armenio, 2016), hypothesizes that the construction of the convent dates to the Byzantine period, and therefore the structure existed prior to Roger I's conquest of the island. According to the comune's website, the church structure was privately owned until 1982 when ownership was transferred to the comune. Father Adriano believes that a restoration of the church was completed sometime in the 1950s, but was not sure of the exact date. The church is located in a seismic zone and seismic activity may pose a significant risk. The building and its environs are poorly maintained, and the church itself is infrequently visited. The roof of the abandoned connected structure has collapsed in on itself, and further degradation could impact the adjacent facade of the church.

Nothing from the Norman period seems to have survived, a confirmation in 2019 of the original observation done in 2016. The interior, as well as the exterior, have been completely redone in a Baroque style. A statue of St. Michael is still located in a privileged place at the top of the church's facade, and he is accompanied by other holy figures, made at a significantly later date. The church today is surrounded by numerous buildings in a farily densely-packed setting, including an attached Benedictine nunery, a parrochial guest house, a B&B and numerous residential buildings. The piazza in front of the church is used for parking. This usage - as well as bird droppings, plants growing on the facade and human vandalism - present significant challenges to the current structure. As of the summer of 2019, the church was regularly opened in the early morning for mass, though its hours were very limited.

In October 2019, Max Wilson (B.A., architecture, Yale University) performed the field survey, CSSI assessments, and photographed the site. The church is located on Via Roma, one of the main streets of downtown Adrano, which forms the northern edge of Adrano's central public park, Giardino della Vittoria. There are no regular hours posted online or at the site, and Max was unable to gain access to the interior. The church is oriented along a north-south axis, with its main facade facing south towards Via Roma and the communal park. On either side of the church, and directly adjacent, stand the two wings (east and west) of the monastery complex, which span the entire length of Via Roma. The ground level of each wing is occupied by local restaurants and businesses. The east wing also houses the entrance to a secondary school. To the north of the church, behind the apse, stands a single story building housing a business. The church's main facade is rendered in the Catanese baroque style of alternating dark and light stone. According to the informational sign in front of the church, the dark stone is basaltic lava and the white stone is Comiso stone. The facade is divided horizontally into three sections—a central section housing the main portal, and two bell towers on either side, each capped with a four-sided cupola. Engaged pilasters with Corinthian capitals visually articulate the three divisions. The facade is also divided vertically into three sections by separate cornice lines. There is a street level, a middle tier with a single clerestory window over the portal and corresponding blind windows in the two towers, and a third level consisting of a loggia connecting the towers on either side to the central mass via a series of covered balconies. The central portal is articulated on either side by a pair of Corinthian columns, and above by a broken pediment with statuary on either side. The informational sign identifies the building as monastero di Santa Lucia, and explains that the monastery was originally built in 1158 CE in a location outside the city walls. According to the commune website, the original site lies near chiesa della Madonna della Consolazione in the neighborhood of Maria SS. delle Salette. The current building was constructed on in its current site in 1596, and finally completed in 1775. The church is located in a seismic zone and seismic activity still poses a significant risk to its structure. Pollution from cars on Via Roma may also pose a risk to the building's exterior stone.

Found on a hill in a suburb in Mazara’s east, the former monastery provides an impressive vantage point of the urban landscape and a sliver of the sea just beyond the sprawl – one can only imagine the unimpeded vista that would have been available to the monks. Though it was converted into a church and is apparently used with some frequency (a local newspaper reports that weddings are held there), the site seems abandoned. While it is relatively easy to reach the site by car/on foot, it is impossible to access the interior without keys. That said, the exterior is very telling: it seems that there has been some real effort to recreate the original context. A plaque on a stone wall describes the restoration of an "ancient enclosing wall restored through the works of the Servi del Cuore Immacolato di Maria in 2000 A.D." The doorway and columns at the church's front appear to be original and it seems that the rest of the facade was later restored to harmonize with the earlier style. Unfortunately, the more modern stone does not seem to be wearing well, as cracks are visible. Also, it appears that fragments - some of which may be of the original building - are scattered throughout a debris field to the church's north side. As they are fully exposed to the elements and the animals that have easy access to the site, there are real concerns for their preservation. Humans have not been completely kind to the site either - litter abounds and there is some light graffiti present. The exterior security measures are easy to evade - the fences have large holes in them and despite signs warning of video surveillance and a camera, it is unclear whether the site is actually monitored. In addition to being of historical interest, the church's grounds are also of interest from a perspective of biodiversity. According to a video produced by a local newspaper, there is some unique vegetation located around the building. During our visit of 2019, we noticed that rough-hewn rocks had been arranged in a rounded labyrinth pattern, perhaps suggesting an attempt at creating a prayer space, though no identification was available.

There is some confusion here. White, Latin Monasticism, 42, locates this house in Marsala. But Loud thinks it was in Palermo but had been given a house in Marsala so that the monks of Palermo would revive the house to the west (Latin Church in Norman Italy, 508). Scaduto, Il monachesimo basiliano, 131-32, argues that the confusion comes from the two houses having the same name and maintains that the monastery in Palermo had been united with the one in Marsala at the end of the twelfth century. Today, there is graffiti at the Marsala site and there is a business being run from the area just behind an exterior wall. The site is built over a Punic burial ground. Stairs that descend to the entrance perhaps suggest the presence of the grotto after which this monastery had been named. The site is now autonomous and is under the care of Marsala's polo museale. It is possible to view the exterior without a guide, but entrance into the gated area can only be made possible by a representative.

White (Latin Monasticism, 42) suggests that this monastery may have also been known under the names of "Santa Maria de Crisè" and "Santa Maria la Pinta." Scaduto, on the other hand, considers them as separate entities (160) as does Giunta (729).

The location of this house is a guess. Troina's official tourism website ("Enjoy Troina," (https://enjoytroina.it/siti-storici-e-archeologici/) claims that the Chiesa di San Silvestro (the structure's current name) was built to host the monks of the cenobio di Sant'Elia. So the medieval monastery needed to be nearby. The earliest date of construction reported by the comune is 1625, though the site has a placard explaining that the current church of San Silvestro was constructed on the foundations of a preexisting Basilian monastery’s small church. Nothing from the Norman period remains outside and though we were unable to access the church’s interior (it was locked at least for the summer). Still, the current landscape is evocative of the vistas that might have been available to the monks. Located in Troina, the first Norman capital in Sicily, Sant’Elia’s high location would have provided it an expansive overview of the surrounding mountains and valleys. Prof. Pope has considered its geological and topographical settings, which are dramatic. The cliff that is adjacent to the structure is sandstone, part of a belt of marine sandstone that has been formed in the Mediterranean Sea in the area between Tunisia and southern Italy. The boulders on the slope suggest that it is unstable and prone to occasional rock falls that can be triggered by earthquakes. However, given that the slope is steep and susceptible to weathering, something less disruptive, such as a heavy storm, could lead to additional falling rock. The stone itself is not old from a geological perspective (less than 20 million years old) and is not well cemented, making it weak and weatherable. The slope in the Norman period was likely similar to the slope we see today. There is a possibility that some excavation may have occurred at the time of construction. With that said, the boulders themselves are likely more recently deposited. The retaining walls that have been constructed by the comune are an attempt to arrest the movement of the soil, which is also susceptible to slope movement. It could be effective for this purpose though it would likely not be able to hold back the boulders on the slopes. Whether the modern church and the apartments in the immediately surrounding area have been affected by soil and/or slope movement was unclear.

The history of Sant’Angelo di Brolo is shrouded in mystery, a fact that is reflected in the scholarly record. Scaduto (80), sees this monastery as having been one and the same with Sant’Angelo di Ficarra (also known as Fulgerino or Filarino) whereas Lynn White (41-42) considers them separately. Currently used as an urban cemetery, the remains of Sant’Angelo di Brolo bear little evidence of their medieval past; indeed, the reason for why this may have been was addressed by Mr. Basilio Segreto, a resident local historian during our 2019 visit. Given the vicissitudes of the monastery and the highly doubtful survival of Norman remains, cultural stone assessment would be of limited use for the project.

Although Scaduto and Giunta place this house in Petralia, our best guess based on toponymic evidence is that it was located in Gonato, near the Masseria Rocca di Gonato. Today, an agriturismo sits on or near the former site of the monastery. We were able to see no evidence of a medieval structure during our visit.

"The foundation of the great abbey of St. Savior in Lingua Phari at Messina by Roger II in 1131-34, and the organization of most of the Greek houses of Sicily under its archimandrite into a sort of congregation, has generally been regarded as the climax of the Hellenic renaissance in the Norman realm. But it was actually a desperate effort to check the dissolution of Count Roger I's work of restoration." White (n. 5) says that he has not been able to explain why certain ones remained independent of the abbey.

Having fallen victim to an earthquake, a flood and the post-Risorgimento sale of ecclesiastical lands that placed it in private hands to ultimately be used as farmland, little remains of the monastery of Santa Venera. Surrounded by hills and valleys and just a few feet away from the fiumara (seasonal river) of Santa Venera, Antonino Quattrocchi, a local historian who has done research on this foundation and has located the monastery near the modern town of Castroreale (see his Sui sentieri dei monaci di Vanella: i cenobiti italo-greci nella storia dei Peloritani (2017)), explained that the area was once heavily forested but that the trees were depleted in the fifteenth century to build houses for newly-formed comunes like Bafia. Not much of the structure remains visible. Continual heavy rains that lasted for over two weeks in January 1880 lead to landslides that left much of it buried. As of our July 2019 visit, only the upper windows remain aboveground. Unfortunately, lack of funding has prevented excavation to uncover what lies below the earth. It should also be noted that the site rests in private hands, located on a family estate. Mr. Quattrocchi argues that the visible structure is most likely a sixteenth-century refabrication of the Norman medieval building; indeed, a document from the 1500s describes the reconstruction of Santa Venera. The remains only became visible in 2009-2010, when another flood shifted the ground and laid the ruins bare. We would like to end with an expression of our deep gratitude to the current landowner for permitting us to visit the site as well as to Mr. Quattrocchi for his enthusiasm, knowledge and warm hospitality.

There appears to be some difference as to where exactly this house was located. Both Scaduto (101) and Giunta (730) place it near Mascali. Giuseppe Tropea, however, says on his medioevosicilia.eu (http://www.medioevosicilia.eu/markIII/il-monastero-di-san-giovanni-psicro-presso-randazzo/) that the remains of this monastery can be found in Contrada Sant'Anastasia, Randazzo. If this is right, what remains of the monastery is now on the property of Feudo Vagliasindi. The proprietors were not aware that the structure may actually be the remains of a monastery that dates to the Norman period. There are two distinct structures here, which may have been joined. The owners shared that there was an excavation led by Prof. Privitera of the University of Catania c. 2007. Found were a few lava stone tombs were covered with terracotta. Another tomb was discovered nearby that likely belonged to a member of the clergy which contained a slab with a Greek inscription. It has been left in place. Pieces of exterior walls, obscured by thick vegetation, also survive. We are grateful to Paolo and Corrado Vassallo for making the site available to us.

"The foundation of the great abbey of St. Savior in Lingua Phari at Messina by Roger II in 1131-34, and the organization of most of the Greek houses of Sicily under its archimandrite into a sort of congregation, has generally been regarded as the climax of the Hellenic renaissance in the Norman realm. But it was actually a desperate effort to check the dissolution of Count Roger I's work of restoration." White (n. 5) says that he has not been able to explain why certain ones remained independent of the abbey. (45)

"The foundation of the great abbey of St. Savior in Lingua Phari at Messina by Roger II in 1131-34, and the organization of most of the Greek houses of Sicily under its archimandrite into a sort of congregation, has generally been regarded as the climax of the Hellenic renaissance in the Norman realm. But it was actually a desperate effort to check the dissolution of Count Roger I's work of restoration." White (n. 5) says that he has not been able to explain why certain ones remained independent of the abbey. (45)

Roger II confirms to Bartholomew, abbot of the Monastery of Santa Maria della Grotta in Marsala, earlier privileges made by himself and his mother, Adelasia. These include the donation of the Casale di Farchina and vineyards and lands as well as the exemption from some taxes, which the monastery's founder, Admiral Christodulos, had put in place at the time of its creation. "Concessimus fore dictum Monasterium liberum vel exemptum ab Episcopis archiepiscopis et ab omni sacerdotali ordine. Petens et exorans ab Excellentia nostra confirmare eidem venerabili Monasterio contenta et declarata seu distincta in eodem privilegio. Videlicet casale quod dicitur farchina et omnia que sunt in eo et sibi pertinent et limitantur et omnia quecumque continet predictum privilegium. Sicut dictum est. Nos autem scientes quod sanctarum Ecclesiarum dei curam habentibus et in eis gloriflcationem seu laudem agentibus necessaria distribuere. Deo acceptabile est et anime grandis utilitas comparatur. Lubemus, concedimus, et conflrmamus esse ipsum monasterium liberum vel exemptum et totaliter liberum ab Episcopis archiepiscopis et omni universali sacerdotali seu clericali ordine. Similiter conflrmamus eidem etiam omnia que divi nostri parentes in eorum privilegiis eidem concesserant. Scilicet homines Casalis farchine. vineas et terras et barcam unam liberam et etiam que ammiratus Xpistodulus, qui a fundamentis ediflcavit predictum Monasterium." The year is 1131. (21-24)

"Taking over the defense of Geraci, where the count had built a tower, Ingelmar made the tower even stronger, carrying out the work little by little, all the while concealing his actions. He brought all of the people of Geraci over to him with his flattery and favors, and, once oaths have been exchaged, he bound them to himself as allies. When this was reported to the count, he was concerned about Ingelmar's insolence, fearing that the tower might be used against him in the future as part of some plot. He humbly ordered him to dismantle the tower to the point where it could serve as nothing more than a house, scolding him for daring to do such a thing without consulting him first. lngelmar took evil counsel with the people of Geraci who promised to assist him. Forgetful--as is characteristic of the ignoble--of the benefits conferred upon him, he despicably chose to resist the count rather than to obey him. When the count became aware of this, he ordered the people of Geraci to destroy the tower and surrender lngelmar to his custody. They refused to do this, not so much because they had sworn their fidelity to lngelmar, but because they detested every one of our people and hoped to cause more discord than peace among us. The count, in keeping with his legal rights, declared that his former vassal was no longer to be trusted. After assembling his army, he headed toward Geraci to besiege it. lngelmar, working the hearts of the people of Geraci with his ploys, retained them for some time as accomplices in his folly. But when they saw themselves afflicted by the count from without as well as within, they began to tire of their stupid plan. When lngelmar realized this, he became terrified that they would reconcile themselves to the count and hand him over, so he fled. His wife, seeking mercy from the count, in memory of his nephew [Serio], whose wife she had been, was allowed to keep every thing that had been gathered for the sake of her marriage.

"In 1124 Count Henry of Paternò gave to the abbey of La Cava near Salerno the church of St. Nicholas near Paternò. This became a priory, later called St. Nicholas de Lombardis, but whether the Lombards were brought there by the monks of Cava or by Count Henry himself we do not know." (60) In June 1173 . . . Basil, son of Michael the Admiral, gave [Robert, Bishop of Catania] some fields 'in agro Symbacara.' In May of the next year he confirmed to the Basilian abbot Sabba the church of St. Nicholas across the river from Paternò, which had been given to Sabba by Geoffrey Secretus. The abbots of the monastery were to owe obedience to Catania, and their election was to be approved by the bishop." (115)

Field Visit
The site of the former monastery consists of a series of stone ruins—remains of various freestanding buildings, some of which appear to have been connected at one point. It was difficult to verify the function of these structures, but Mr. Magaraci provided information on how he thought the various structures had been used. According to Mr. Magaraci, there are seven structures on the site: two portal structures on the western facade, a structure he referred to as a palmento—a space for storing and making wine, the monks' cells, a small chapel, a cistern, and a tomb.

"The foundation of the great abbey of St. Savior in Lingua Phari at Messina by Roger II in 1131-34, and the organization of most of the Greek houses of Sicily under its archimandrite into a sort of congregation, has generally been regarded as the climax of the Hellenic renaissance in the Norman realm. But it was actually a desperate effort to check the dissolution of Count Roger I's work of restoration." White (n. 5) says that he has not been able to explain why certain ones remained independent of the abbey.
