- Title
EIGENKIRCHE ED EIGENKLOSTER NELLA SICILIA NORMANNA? NUOVI SPUNTI DI RIFLESSIONI SUL TEMA DAI DOCUMENTI DI ADELICIA AVENEL MACCABEO.

- Abstract
The essay, which starts from historiographical concepts matured in the German environment and subsequently treated also in Italy, relating to the foundation of private churches and monasteries by aristocracy, intends to propose new points for thought through the analysis of the documents of Adelicia Avenel Maccabeo. The analysis of the 12th century papers of the Sicilian domina, relating to the foundation of the monastery of Adernò (Adrano) and then also to some churches located in the Madonite area, seems to attest to the existence of Eigenchirke and Eigenkloster also on the island. Thus, in addition to clarifying the reasons underlying the establishment of private churches and monasteries by an exponent of the Norman aristocratic élite, the essay also aims to reconstruct the events of the female Benedictine monastic community, that of saint Lucia of Adernò, established in 1158 on the southern side of Etna.
