The Dirillo, or Acate, is a 54-kilometre (34 mi) river in Sicily which springs from the Hyblaean Mountains and flows through the areas of Vizzini, Licodia Eubea, Mazzarrone, Chiaramonte Gulfi, Acate, Vittoria, Gela. It enters the Strait of Sicily south-east of the town of Gela. As the largest river in the area it is sometimes known as the Fiume Grande.
The river was known in antiquity as the Achates. Theophrastus in his treatise On Stones (ca. 315 B.C.) indicates that the name of the gemstone achates (agate) was based on the source of such stones from this river.Pliny the Elder makes the same connection in his Naturalis Historia Agate and chalcedony can still be found here. During the period of Arab rule it became known as Wadi‑Ikrilu: ‘The River of Acrille’, an ancient Greek-Roman colony that stood in the surroundings.
In the 1950s the Azienda Nazionale Idrogenazione Combustibili dammed the river near Licodia Eubea to create Lago Dirillo, a reservoir for the Polo petrolchimico di Gela petrochemical plants. With good fishing and camping facilities, as well its natural scenic beauty, this area has become a tourist attraction.

I can't remember why we fell apart
Or even how the arguments all start
I got this crazy thought running through my head
Mmmm, you keep insisting on convincing me that nothing's changed
And keep on telling me I'm trippin' but it's not a game
Cuz something's different when I'm in it, it don't feel the same
I keep on picturing another nigga been hold-n-you
- I feel somebody's been touch-n-you
In fact I know somebody's been kissin' you
Do you wanna tell me who's been love-n-you , love-n-you
Hold-n-you, I don't know why I been trusting you
Only did what I'm supposed to do
I don't know how I been such a fool for love-n-you
It never really mattered too much to me
I guess I was too blind and I could not see
The message in the words that I heard you say
Hmmm, that you're unhappy and you think you need some time away
These things just happen but I know they don't happen that way
I try and understand because I love you
But I keep on thinking that another nigga been hold-n-you
