A brief overview of the province of Enna
Dear friends, today I want to talk to you about the province of Enna, located in central Sicily. It covers an area of 2,574.7 km² and included 20 municipalities, but in 2015 it was abolished and replaced by the Enna free municipal consortium.
History
The province of Enna was established in 1927 and included the territory of the discontinued districts of Nicosia (previously in the province of Catania) and Piazza Armerina, separated from the province of Caltanissetta. The capital was initially Castrogiovanni, but was renamed Enna in December of the same year. In 1946, the Sicilian provinces were abolished but were then reconstituted in 1963 to become regional provinces in 1986.
On March 28, 2014, the suppression of the Sicilian regional provinces was envisaged, replaced by nine free municipal consortia and three metropolitan areas. The regional province of Enna was abolished and replaced by the Enna free municipal consortium in compliance with the regional law of March 24, 2014.
Symbols
The coat of arms of the province contained a white background with two shields in the upper and lower parts and a wolf, the symbol of Rome, in the middle. The gonfalon consisted of a white flag bordered in blue.
Municipalities
Before its abolition, the province of Enna included 20 municipalities: Agira, Aidone, Assoro, Barrafranca, Calascibetta, Catenanuova, Centuripe, Cerami, Enna, Gagliano Castelferrato, Leonforte, Nicosia, Nissoria, Piazza Armerina, Pietraperzia, Regalbuto, Sperlinga, Troina, Valguarnera Caropepe, and Villarosa.
Administration
The province of Enna saw several presidents, including Pietro Scarciglio, Giuseppe Tanteri, Filippo Lo Giudice, Michele Gagliardo, Luigi Curcio, Luigi Vetri, Giuseppe Genovese, Salvatore Termine, Elio Galvagno, Cataldo Salerno, and Giuseppe Monaco.
Conclusion
So here is a brief overview of the province of Enna, which has undergone various transformations and changes over the years. We hope that the Enna free municipal consortium can continue to develop and grow, always maintaining its beautiful traditions and peculiar characteristics.
