== HISTORY==
ANCIENT AGES
The name of the city comes from Greek mythology, in which there was room for a character called Acis. He was a shepherd with whom the nymph Galatea fell in love, with whom in turn the Cyclops Polyphemus was in love and crushed his rival under a boulder. From the shepherd's blood was born a river called Akis by the Greeks, mainly underground.
In Roman Republicball Roman times a city called Akis was born in the same territory, and which historically participated in the Punic wars
MEDIEVAL AGES
In the Middle Ages the village consolidated around the castle of Aci and only in the fourteenth century did around ten families move further north, where Aquilia (Aci d'Aquila) or Aquilia Nuova was born, the first stable point of today's city. The sixteenth century was very important for Aquilia Nuova, where a strong mercantile class was consolidated which brought considerable wealth to the city and various corporations and religious orders settled, leaving such an indelible mark that even today it is often cited as "the city of a hundred bells". .
== «Acireale è una sorta di medioevale Avignone sede di tutte le possibili corporazioni e ordini, religiosi e conventi ed istituti e collegi e perfino di sei licei cattolici (oltreché di uno statale)....» -Carlo Levi==
== «Acireale is a sort of medieval Avignon, home to all possible guilds and orders, religious and convents and institutes and colleges and even six Catholic high schools (as well as a state one)....» -Carlo Levi ==
FROM MEDIEVAL TO NOW
In 1528 Emperor Charles V made it a municipality. In the seventeenth century, the territory of Aquilia lost many territories (which became universitas, i.e. cities) but obtained its current name, thanks to the intervention of King Philip IV in 1642. On 11 January 1693 the city was partly destroyed by the earthquake, which shocked all of south-eastern Sicily. The reconstruction process that followed favored the explosion and magnificence of Baroque architecture in all its infinite facets.
In 1848 it was one of the main centers of the uprisings in Sicily and in 1860, after the landing of the Thousand, it was the first insurgent city to raise the tricolor in Sicily. Since 1861 it has been the capital of the Acireale district, which was then abolished, like all the districts of Italy, by the fascist regime in 1927. In 1873 with the opening of the Santa Venera spa and the inauguration of the annexed Grand Hotel des Bains, Acireale became a spa center of some notoriety. It obtained the title of City with presidential decree of 30 November 2005.
Today it is particularly known for the Acireale Carnival, among the most famous at a national level, which attracts visitors from much of Italy, given the presence, alongside the allegorical-grotesque floats and masked groups in the parade, of the infiorati, a typical Acese prerogative.
Furthermore, thanks to the presence of the PalaTupparello, the largest sports hall in Sicily, Acireale is often known for hosting numerous concerts of the most famous Italian singers and musical groups every year
