Monte Inici has been the site of numerous explorations and finds of fossils from the Middle Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous periods.[1]
In the classical age, Monte Inici was the site of the ancient Greek settlement of Inykon,[2] not to be confused with the larger town of Inycum (Inykon in Greek) in the southwestern part of Sicily.
In the 16th century Inici was a vast barony which included nine fiefs inside and belonged to the House of Sanclemente, a noble family from Trapani.[3][4]
