It is located in Western Sicily and rises on the same promontory of the ancient Drepanum, Greek word whose meaning is sickle, because of the shape of its promontory where the town is located. It is also called “ the town of the two seas” because the north side coast of the town is on the Tyrrhenian Sea, while the east one is on the Mediterranean Sea. In the last years it developed a flowered economic activity bound to the extraction and the trade of salt, thanks to its natural position on the Mediterranean Sea and to its famous port which in ancient times served as commercial access to the most famous Eryx located on the mount which rises above Trapani. Other flowered activities were and are still fishing, of tuna fish in particular for which it was used the classical tuna slaughter technique in the several tunny-fishing nets located in the town and in its surroundings (Saint Giuliano, Saint Cusumano, Formica Isle) and in its province (Favignana, Bonagia, Saint Vito Lo Capo, Scopello, Granitola Cape), the extraction and the commerce of marble and the manufacturing of coral.
