Carlentini

Carlentini (Sicilian: Carruntini) is a town and "comune" in the Province of Syracuse, Sicily (Italy). It lies 45 km (28 mi) outside the provincial capital of Syracuse.
The city's name has its origins in the neighboring town of Lentini. In 1551, Vice-King Giovanni De Vega founded a new city in honour of Emperor Carlo V, naming it in Latin "Carleontini", or "Leontini of Carlo". In Italian, it became "Carlentini", and in the various Sicilian dialects, "Carrintini" or "Carruntini".
