Duke of Carcaci

The Duke of Carcaci (Italian: Duca di Cárcaci) (pron: "Car-catch-ee") is the head of one branch of the Paternò Castello family, an ancient Sicilian noble family. The estate of Cárcaci, from which the dukedom is named, is situated in Sicily, 20 miles north-west of Catania (where survives the ducal palazzo), at the junction of the River Simeto and River Salso. It is thus situated about 15 miles west of the crater of Mount Etna. The historic estate of Paternò, now a town, is situated about 10 miles north-west of Catania, midway between that town and Carcaci. The first Duke of Carcaci was Don Vincenzo Paternò Castello (1681–1767) who in 1725 was created a duke of the Kingdom of Naples by Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Naples, who had gained control of the Kingdom of Naples in 1714 and of Sicily in 1720. Carcaci had become the seat of a feudal barony shortly after the Norman Conquest of Sicily in 1061, when the first castle was built on the site. The barony and estate was not acquired by this branch of the Paternò Castello family, the principal historic seat of the senior line of which was Paternò Castle, until 1719.
