context_page_description: The Archaeological site of Mount Bonifato is located in Alcamo, in the province of Trapani, in Sicily.
  According to Licofrone of Alexandria, an unknown scholar who set up the library of Alexandria in the third century B.C., there was a village called Longuro on Mount Bonifato of Alcamo in ancient times. This settlement had been founded by a colony of Greeks who had escaped from Troy.
  The archeological site was probably inhabited from the 7th century B.C. to the 12th century A.D. Longuro was also the name of Mount Bonifato, which – according to some other scholars - was also named "Aereo" and "Longarico".
  During the Roman period, the inhabitants moved to the slopes of the mount, so that they could devote themselves to farming.
