Aspra, Sicily
Aspra (''Aspira'' in Sicilian) is a town in the ''comune'' of Bagheria in the Province of Palermo in Sicily, Italy.
A village within the municipality of Bagheria, approximately of 3700 inhabitants, by the sea at the East end of the Palermo's Gulf facing the capital city of Sicily. Typical are the wooden boats (lancitiedde in local dialect) vividly colored. The first traces of the town are thought to belong to the period of Arabic domination in Sicily, as it is suspected that the name comes from the Arabic حجر («stone»). Aspra was in fact, for generations, used to cave out blocks of calcarenite (light stone, of medium strength and easy to work in the big open sky caves locally called "pirriere").
The territory of Aspra goes from the Montagna d'Aspra, which is the name of the mountain near the town with the tops of Monte Irice (284 m.), Cozzo San Pietro (345 m.) and Cozzo Tondo. The mountain extends in a promontory (Capo Mongerbino). Continuing towards Esto est, passing Mongerbino, is possible to reach Porticello (locality of the town Santa Flavia). West Aspra ends following the profile of the river Eleuterio. Aspra was part of the land of the nobility of Marquis of Sant'Isidoro of which now remain a villa and the land of the Church of Aspra (originally his own private chapel but later donated to the town, the other portion of this is partially used as municipal offices).
Notable are the affrescos by Renato Guttuso in the church, the seaside (lungomare) that during summer is full of visitors enjoying the sunset and the awesome ice cream of the area, and "u rittufilu" (a straight road extending from the Corso Butera of Bagheria). Aspra was also the favourite retirement place of the poet Ignazio Buttitta and where the Italian aeronautical hero of WWII Francesco Tempra grew.
The most important economical resource of the town is the fish preservation industry of which Aspra exports in the world with renowned anchovies.
