Part of a historic topographic map of the former “Real Tenuta della Favorita”, drawn by Francesco Guttoso in 1856 and preserved at the Giuseppe Pitrè Ethnographic Museum in Palermo (from Buffa et al. 1986, modified). In the central part, the area still occupied today by the “Bosco Niscemi” is clearly recognizable, divided into the 16 “squares” that characterize it.
