the Torre dell'Arenella, part of the complex of the Tonnara, Quattro Pizzi etc ... was built in 1852 by Don Vincenzo Florio Sr. (1799-1868), who had called a Dutchman to draw up the project. It served as a windmill or mechanical mill to grind sumac, a grass which, reduced to powder, was indispensable for the tanning of hides.
It worked for a few years, the exports were booming, then the workers began to get smart, mixing fake herb powder with that of the precious sumac, the result: the mill closed and business in smoke.
The tower also served as a lighthouse, as reported by an old nautical map of the port.
Arenella perhaps owes its name to the fine sand that once covered its coast.

la Torre dell'Arenella, facente parte del complesso della Tonnara, Quattro Pizzi etc...fu fatta costruire nel 1852 da Don Vincenzo Florio Sr. (1799-1868), che aveva chiamato un olandese per redigerne il progetto. Ebbe funzione di mulino a vento o meccanico per macinare il sommacco, un'erba, che, ridotta in polvere, era indispensabile per la concia delle pelli.
Funzionò per qualche anno, le esportazioni a gonfie vele, poi le maestranze cominciarono a fare i furbi, mescolando polvere di erbe fasulle a quella del prezioso sommacco, risultato: mulino chiuso e affari in fumo.
La torre ebbe anche funzione di Faro, come riportato da una vecchia carta nautica del Porto .
L'Arenella forse deve il suo nome alla fina sabbia che una volta ricopriva il suo litorale .

This Great Blue Heron was re-arranging its feathers, and hit this position - reminded me of a western movie with the cowboys facing each other down, ready to draw!

When you are at school, and the teacher says draw a mountain, the triangle is where most of us would begin. Most mountains don't really look like that, but Beinn Dorain seen here certainly matches that desciption.
