In 1950, Fondachelli-Fantina gained municipal independence, separating from neighboring Novara di Sicilia. Located 73 kilometers from Messina, this scattered municipality of 1,090 residents sets its administrative seat in the village of Rubino, standing 604 meters above sea level.
The surrounding terrain spans the Peloritani and Nebrodi mountain ranges around the Patr"""ì stream valley. High peaks dominate the view, including Montagna Grande and Rocca di Salvatesta, near Portella Mandrazzi where the 70-kilometer Dorsale Peloritana trail ends. Nearby, the Pizzo Vento plateau offers a direct line of sight for the equinoxes.
