Aidone

Province: Enna · Region: Sicily · Population: 4,929 · Postal code: 94010

Known locally as Dadungh in its traditional Gallo-Italic dialect, Aidone stands out in the province of Enna for its northern linguistic heritage. The town of 4,929 residents retains a distinct speech brought to central Sicily centuries ago.

Just outside the town lies the ancient Siculan-Greek site of Morgantina, alongside the Arab-Norman castle of Pietratagliata and the nearby UNESCO-listed Villa Romana del Casale. Dense forests cover the northwestern countryside, while the shared Parco della Ronza and the Lake Ogliastro reservoir define its surroundings.
