| Description |
English: Contadini della Ducea Nelson posano ai piedi della croce celtica innalzata in onore dell'ammiraglio Nelson nel primo cortile interno del Castello (foto pubblicata nel 1903 dalla rivista letteraria inglese The Pall Magazine. (Peasantry of the Duchy of Bronte posing at the foot of a Celtic cross in the inner courtyard (of Castello di Maniace) erected (by Sir Alexander Nelson Hood, 5th Duke of Bronté (1904–1937)) in honour of Horatio Nelson, 1st Duke of Bronté, 1st Viscount Nelson (1758–1805).
At Maniace the 5th Duke erected a large Ionian or Celtic cross, made of local black lava from Mount Etna, in memory of Admiral Lord Nelson and inscribed on the base Heroi Immortali Nili ("To the immortal hero of the Nile"), the Battle of the Nile having particular significance in the saving of the Kingdom of Sicily and Naples from Napoleonic conquest. This resulted from a complaint by his aunt Jane Sarah Hood (Lady Hotham) when visiting, that no monument existed, to which the Duke replied in jest that Wren's epitaph in St Paul's Cathedral states Si monumentum requiris circumspice[1] ("if you seek his monument look around you"). |
