Librizzi (Sicilian: Libbrizzi) is a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Messina in the Italian region Sicily, located about 140km (90miles) east of Palermo and about 50km (30miles) west of Messina, on a hill between the Timeto and Librizzi streams.
Its origins date most likely to the 12th century, when a community rose around the Brichinnai castle.
