Bronte, a small village perched on Mount Etna, is known for its green gold, which is also the story of a distillate of mythology, love, betrayal, and cowardice. From the Cyclops to the Emperor of Constantinople, from Pope Borgia to Admiral Nelson, from Heathcliff to Nino Bixio, to Giovanni Verga: all linked to Bronte, and perhaps none of them ever ate a pistachio.
Bronte means “thunder” and is the name of one of the Cyclops who forged Zeus’ lightning bolts in Hephaestus’ forges on Mount Etna.
