meaning to re live the region

There are traces of the Testa family and its history –
as well as the personal memories of each of its members –
in the parish archives:

For more than 200 years, the Testa family has been
plying the seas of Sicily with its boats
in search of bluefish and bluefin tuna

Testa Conserve

A history linked to the large port of Ognina, the ancient port of Ulysses, which in the 14th century – following an impressive eruption – became a small harbour from which the Testa family have always put their boats out to sea, with the blessing of the Madonna of the “fishing village”, “A ‘Bammina“, a statue consecrated at the end of the 17th century that is carried every year in procession out to sea. It is a heartfelt feast that sees the Testa family on the celebrations committee.
