A name born of ancient navigatorsSicily, where worlds collide
House Algozzino rises from Sicily, the island where the Greek and the Arab worlds met and remained, and where Norman lords of Norse blood later made their seat. The name carries that meeting within it. 
Across the Greek cities of the south, beneaththe Arab emirs, and under the Norman knights who came as conquerors and stayed as nobility, one word came to name the figure entrusted with order and with command, the keeper of a house. Sicily drew warriors and noble houses from every shore and bound their bloodlines into one. From that lineage of stewardship the Algozzino name descends, and the duty it carries has been kept unbroken across the centuries and never set down.
Hellás
The Greek soul of Sicily. Beauty held as a discipline, proportion answered by restraint, and the conviction that what is made well is made to last.
The Island
The crossroads of the Mediterranean, where many peoples and many bloods became a single line. The ground that bound the house together.
al-Wazīr
The vizier. In Arab Sicily, the one trusted with command and with the safekeeping of those in his charge. The root from which the name is drawn.
