==History== {{unreferenced section|date=April 2021}} There is evidence of [[Neolithic]] and even [[Paleolithic]] paintings in caves on Levanzo, and to a lesser extent on Favignana. The islands were the scene of the [[battle of the Aegates]] of 241 BC, in which the [[Carthage|Carthaginian]] fleet was defeated by the [[Roman Republic|Roman]] fleet led by [[Gaius Lutatius Catulus|Lutatius Catulus]]; the engagement ended the [[First Punic War]]. After the end of [[Western Roman Empire|Western Roman]] power in the first millennium AD, the islands, to the extent that they were governed at all, were part of territories of [[Goths]], [[Vandals]], [[Saracens]], before the [[Normans]] fortified Favignana in 1081. The islands belonged to the Pallavicini-Rusconi family of [[Genoa]] until 1874, when the [[Florio]] family of [[Palermo]] bought them.
