I have been researching Sicilian heraldry and genealogy as a hobby for the past 20 years. Over time I have come to realise the huge potential of the internet as a tool for both historical research and knowledge dissemination.

In order to realise this potential, I have created Lords of Sicily, an encyclopedic reference on everything related to heraldry and family history of the people that over the past ten centuries have ruled over portions of Sicilian territory. Here you will find resources about the families, the estates, the titles. You will have the chance to appreciate networks of power, the accumulation of wealth over time, alliances between families e and much more.

All data will be presented as much scientifically as possible, bringing together all published evidence and bibliography and giving due credit to the historians of our national heritage that have come before us, and whose invaluable effort it is our great pleasure and honour to acknowledge and humbly try to preserve and continue.
