    • 1888, Giovanni Verga, I Malavoglia, 3rd edition, Milan: Treves, page 1:
      Un tempo i Malavoglia erano stati numerosi come i sassi della strada vecchia di Trezza; ce n'erano persino ad Ognina, e ad Aci Castello, tutti buona e brava gente di mare, proprio all'opposto di quel che sembrava dal nomignolo, come dev'essere.
      The Malavoglia had once been as numerous as the pebbles on the old road of Trezza; there were even some in Ognina, and in Aci Castello, all good and honest seafaring people, quite the opposite of what their nickname seemed, as it is custom.
