Developed around the northern slopes of Monte Genuardo, near
a pre-existing farmhouse called Contessa, this small mountain town in the Belice valley is the oldest Albanian settlement in Italy. An ethnic, linguistic and religious oasis that still preserves the customs and traditions of its homeland.
After the unification of Italy, the name of Entellina was added to the name due to the presence in its territory of the fortress on which Entella stood, the ancient city of the Elimi people.
