Sicily - Sundials - 1

Dear Friends
Sicily, land of Sun, evidently hosts remarkable sundials, which forms one of the centers of interest of our M.Polo Club. One of the best I met, is on the fasade of the church of Saint Vincenzo Ferreri http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiesa_di_San_Vincenzo_Ferreri_(Ragusa)  in Ragusa Ibla  http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragusa_Ibla . Interestingly, the black line starting from number 18, the "Linea San Vincenzo Ferreri" according to the inscription, indicates that when the apex of the shadow of the gnomon travel on this line, recurs the Saint Vincenzo Ferreri feast.
Salutations
Giancarlo
