Specialist Notes

The "Sciacca case" refers to a dispute between two powerful Sicilian noble families of the late Middle Ages, the Perollos and the de Lunas of Aragon, which lasted from 1455 to 1529. The primary triggering cause concerned an arranged marriage, without love, typical of alliances between families to strengthen poles of power.
