First of September, it is 12 in the afternoon, Palermo. I am meeting the author, Maria Laura Crescimanno<\/strong>, at the “Antonino Salinas” Regional Archaeological Museum, a treasure trove of one of the richest archaeological collections in Italy. It is a testimony of Sicilian history in all its phases, from prehistory to the Middle Ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maria Laura Crescimanno on the routes of Sebastiano Tusa<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Actually, Maria Laura is: a journalist, a great traveler, a confirmed diver and a language teacher. As soon as we began the conversation, I felt that I had a truly cultured, curious and profound woman in front of me. She is animated by the awareness of the essential and necessary protection of natural resources and the environment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Who is Sebastiano Tusa<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Sebastiano Tusa <\/strong>was an internationally renowned archaeologist and scientist from Palermo. He was a university professor in Trapani, Bologna, Naples and in Germany. He was head of the Superintendence of the Sea of \u200b\u200bthe Sicilian Region<\/strong>, which he founded in 2004, for more than 12 years until his tragic death in March 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n

Tusa revealed some of the most remote Sicilian historical secrets, of which the most important are those linked to the excavations of Mozia and Pantelleria<\/strong>. Through in-depth investigations, he managed to scientifically demonstrate, with indisputable data, the true location of the battle of the Egadi<\/strong>. The naval battle with the Carthaginians took place north of Capo Grosso in Levanzo and not in Cala Rossa as described in some history books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
