Borgo Schirò
Borgo Schirò is a small village now uninhabited which stands on a hill in the Corleonese area.
It was built during the Fascist regime and its name is linked to that of a young Bersagliere of Albanian ethnicity, Giacomo Schirò, who was killed with 53 stab wounds during a village festival in the 1920s. Twenty years later, between 1940 and 1941, the village that bears his name was built.
This village develops all around a square with a rectangular layout. We find a school, about thirty lodgings, and then the rectory and church, tobacconists and a grocery store. All empty, depopulated since the 1970s, even if the last mass celebrated there was around 2000. It was the parish priest of Borgo Schirò who was the last to leave the country.
