Acireale

Acireale is a coastal city and comune in the north-east of the Metropolitan City of Catania, Sicily, southern Italy, at the foot of Mount Etna, on the coast facing the Ionian Sea. It is home to numerous churches, including the Neo-Gothic St. Peter's Basilica, St. Sebastian's Basilica in the Sicilian Baroque style, and the 17th century Acireale Cathedral, and a seminary, for the training of priests. Acireale is also noted for its art and paintings: the oldest academy in Sicily, the "Accademia dei Dafnici e degli Zelanti", is located here.

Acireale in The Gladiator
Eduardo Caruso had a second cover identity in the name of Silvio Pagnozzi who was born in Acireale but moved to Milan at the age of two. He explained to Gianfranco Mazzilli that most of the town's records were lost in the earthquake of 2081 so the Security Police wouldn't be able to disprove the identity if they checked.
