Fatal illness during the presentation, the well-known Sicilian historian Calogero Carità died at 78
August 12, 2023
New mourning in the world of Sicilian culture: Professor Calogero Carità Onorio, a well-known historian originally from Licata, in the province of Agrigento, has died. A sudden and fatal illness cut his life short. According to an initial reconstruction of the facts, on the evening of 11 August the professor would have been seized with a serious illness during the presentation of a book in Licata. Unfortunately, first aid from nurses and doctors and then from 118 operators was useless. The rescuers would have tried to transfer the victim to the hospital, but there was nothing they could do. Only a few days ago the professor had invited friends, colleagues, students and followers to the Badia cloister for the presentation of a text by Francesco Gaetano Glicerio, which he would have had the pleasure of presenting together with the author, the poet Lorenzo Peritore and the storyteller Mel Vizzi. The sudden death of professor Calogero Carità, considered a real "piece of Licata history", leaves a huge void in Sicilian culture.
