Traditional fisherman's house in Marzamemi (Sicily)
Marzamemi is a hamlet of the municipality of Pachino, in the free municipal consortium of Syracuse in Sicily. The village grew up around the landing place, which later became a fishing port, and developed thanks to the latter activity, which is still much practiced today, also endowing itself with a tonnara, among the most important in Sicily. The tuna fishery of Marzamemi dates back to the time of Spanish rule in Sicily in the 1600s under the reign of Philip IV, which in 1655 was sold to Baron Simone Calascibetta of Piazza Armerina.
