State: PA - Area: Cefalù and Madonie
Bompietro is a small village in the south-eastern Madonie.
The current town was founded by the Spanish Ferrandina family, to whom the territory of Bompietro was donated. The Ferrandinas gave the lands to the farmers so that they could reclaim them. Thus it was that around 1500 the farmers began to build the first houses on the land they worked and of which they had become owners. Thus the hamlets that make up the Municipality arose and each of them bears the name of the first family who lived there.
Today the healthiness of these places and the uncontaminated nature make Bompietro a suggestive destination in the Madonie Park.
