Two moorish heads on the door of an historical building of Taurianova, Calabria, Italy
A Moor's head, since the 11th century, is a symbol depicting the head of a black moor. The
The term moor has been used in Europe in a broader sense to refer to Muslims in general, especially those of Arab or Berber descent.
For centuries, the Moors, also known as Saracens, played a significant role in shaping Southern Italy, leaving behind a profound and enduring legacy.
The Moors' presence in Italy dates back to the early medieval period, particularly during the 8th and 9th centuries. Their arrival in Italy was primarily due to the expansion of Islamic rule in North Africa and the Mediterranean, which brought them into contact with the Italian Peninsula.
The first Moors settlements in Calabria are a clear and unavoidable consequence of the Islamic expansion that hit the Italian peninsula in IX century. In the light of their origin, structure and later history, all the attacks perpetrated by the Moors are clearly not just disordered acts of looting, but planned incursions having as a final goal the conquer of Southern Italy and Sicily. Their settlements became an important part of the economic and political state of the entire region.
