Gratteri lies in the Madonie, above Cefalù, and the name is said to come from Monte Cratos or from the Crati torrent that runs through it. The Normans founded the abbeys of Sant'Anastasia and San Giorgio here; then, for centuries, the Ventimiglia were the lords, and in the fourteenth century they raised the church of San Michele Arcangelo, the one now called the Matrice Vecchia. There are 1,019 residents.
