Trapani - Museo Pepoli
Trapani ( ; ; ) is a city and municipality (''comune'') with 54,887 inhabitants, on the west coast of Sicily, in Italy. It is the capital of the Province of Trapani. Founded by Elymians, the city is still an important fishing port and the main gateway to the nearby Egadi Islands. Historically, Trapani developed a thriving economy based on the extraction and trade of salt, benefiting from its strategic position projecting into the Mediterranean Sea, and from its port, which was once the commercial gateway for the ancient city of Eryx (Sicily), Eryx (modern-day Erice), situated atop the mountain that overlooks it. Today, its economy relies primarily on the service sector, fishing (historically tuna fishing using traditional methods known as ''mattanza''), marble quarrying and exportation, commercial activities, and tourism. The urban agglomeration includes approximately 80,000 residents, as it also encompasses the populous district of Casa Santa, administratively belonging to t ...

Saint Francis Receiving The Stigmata (Titian)
''Saint Francis Receiving the Stigmata'' is an oil on canvas painting by Titian, now in the Museo regionale Agostino Pepoli in Trapani. Its treatment of colour has led some to date it to the 1530s or 1550s, but the usual dating is c. 1525. The work was misattributed to Vincenzo da Pavia until 1946, when Roberto Longhi restored the attribution to Titian, now followed by the majority of art historians and confirmed by a 1953-1954 restoration which revealed Titian's signature. Its style is thought to be similar to his lost '' The Assassination of Saint Peter Martyr''. Francesco Valcanover, ''L'opera completa di Tiziano'', Rizzoli, Milano 1969.
