In fact, Mount Carmel is a promontory that extends from the Gulf of Haifa, on the Mediterranean, to the plain of Esdrelon, in the land of Jesus. After the year 1000, some pilgrims and soldiers of the crusades remained on Mount Carmel to live how the prophet Elias lived, and they built a small church dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Towards 1150 they finally organized themselves into a common life and there were some Carmelite monasteries which, with the return of the Crusaders, multiplied also in the West and precisely in Sicily and England. Then numerous churches were born, named after the Madonna del Carmine (or Carmelo). Probably the name spread throughout Italy reaching Piedmont, where it became the name of a town (Carmine di Cannobio) and later also a surname.
