Sutera

Sutera is a comune in the Province of Caltanissetta in the Italian region Sicily, located about 70 kilometres southeast of Palermo and about 30 kilometres west of Caltanissetta. The area is dominated by a large monolithic rock termed "The Mountain of San Paolino". Upon this mountain sits the bones of the patron saints of the town, St. Paolino and St. Onofrio. On the Feast of San Onofrio, almost all those in the town walk to the top of the mountain, as a pilgrimage to the saints. As a surname, Sutera has variations that include Souter, Suter, Sudder, and Sutar due to Anglo-Saxon influence during the conquest of Italy. The name refers to both the Rock of Sicily, and a High-German/Middle-Latin word for a cobble or shoe maker

Sutera holds the award of "bandiere arancioni" from the touring club Italiano. Sutera is currently the only place in Sicily to hold this accolade, which is awarded to touristic areas of excellence.
