The district of Bivona (Italian: Circondario di Bivona) was one of the three districts into which the Italian province of Girgenti in Sicily was divided.[1] Existing from 1860 to 1927, it comprised thirteen municipalities, grouped into five mandamenti, and traced the territory of the eponymous and previous Bourbon district established in 1812[2] in the Kingdom of Sicily, when feudalism was abolished in Sicily as a result of the new Constitution. It experienced a phase of decline in the 1860s, the years of the post-unification period, followed by a partial regrowth in the following decade; it was abolished in 1927, when the provincial capital was renamed Agrigento.
The capital of the district was the municipality of Bivona,[3] already at the head of the district under the Sicilian Constitution of 1812,[4] which valued its ancient origins, its favorable geographical position within the district, the titles it received (Bivona was the first ducal city of Sicily)[5] and its scholastic tradition due to the presence of an ancient Jesuit college.[3]
