ARCHIVIO STORICO PER LA SICILIA ORIENTALE

Founded in 1904 as the press organ of the Società di Storia Patria per la Sicilia Orientale (Catania), Archivio Storico per la Sicilia Orientale collects essays, notes, documents and bibliographical reviews. It has hosted proceedings of conferences and debates on the political, economic, and cultural history of Sicily and the Mediterranean and represents a prestigious scientific laboratory of confrontation between historical research and territory, between general and local history, and between School and University.

Since Unification, the Societies of Homeland History, with their respective periodicals, have played an essential role in the long process of nationalization of the "hundred Italies" of cities and regions, contributing to the construction of the cultural fabric of the country.

Since 1903, the Catanese association has been a point of reference for the humanities, just as Archivio Storico - which from 1936 to 1946 changed its name to "Bollettino Storico Catanese," returning to its former name the following year - has become a privileged place for scientific debate on a regional scale.

Alongside historiographical research, in fact, the pages of the journal feature contributions of different kinds: archaeology, literature, anthropology, art, music, theater, and law. This interdisciplinary approach is reflected in the profile of its editors, prestigious intellectuals of the caliber of Vincenzo Casagrandi, an academic expert in antiquistics and the founder of the journal and the Society's Library; Federico Ciccaglione, known for his studies on southern legal history; Guido Libertini, former director of the Italian Archaeological School in Athens; Carmelina Naselli, a specialist in history and popular traditions; and finally Giuseppe Giarrizzo, an influential historian and tireless animator of this journal until 2010.

Since its inception, the periodical has also availed itself of the collaboration of leading European scholars and has contributed original and qualified contributions, in terms of subject and method, to the renewal of the humanities and the dissemination of fundamental research tools (excavation reports, critical editions of texts, archival inventories). It is present in major Italian and international libraries. After a phase of organizational discontinuity, since 2017 Archivio Storico per la Sicilia Orientale has been directed by prof. Giuseppe Barone and re-presents itself to readers with a changed editorial look and updated lines of research, albeit in the vein of the journal's original rationale.
