Sutera

Sutera is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Caltanissetta in the Italian region Sicily, located about 70 kilometres (43 mi) southeast of Palermo and about 30 kilometres (19 mi) west of Caltanissetta. It is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia. 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 Soter, Souter, Suter, Sudder, and Sutar due to Anglo-Saxon influence during the conquest of Italy. The name Sutera derives from the greek word Soter which means 'our salvation'.
