Our Name and Logo
​
La Sicilia is named after the island and the Italian region of Sicily. Our logo is the Sicilian Trinacria. Trinacria is a Greek word that means "three pointed", from akra, "end, point, peak, headland" plus treis, "three", and is the earliest known name of the island of Sicily, formerly a Greek possession, so named from its triangular shape. Sicily was also later known by the Romans by its Greek name Trinacria. The ancient symbol of Trinacria is the head of Medusa overlaying three legs conjoined at the hips and flexed in triangle and three stalks of wheat. The Trinacria symbol has also been adopted by the modern Sicilian government and appears at the center of Sicily's flag. In ancient Greek mythology the gorgon Medusa was sent by the goddess Athena to protect the island. The Three legs represent the three major points of Sicily.
