Lentini (Sicilian: Lintini), historically Leontini, Leontinoi (Ancient Greek: Λεοντῖνοι), or Leontium, is a town and comune in the Province of Syracuse, southeast Sicily (southern Italy).

The ancient city was founded as Leontini by colonists from Naxos in 729 BC, itself a Chalcidian colony established five years earlier.

It is virtually the only Greek settlement in Sicily not located on the coast, being some 6 miles inland. The site, originally held by the Sicels, was seized by the Greeks owing to its command of the fertile plain to the north. The city was reduced to subject status in 498 BC by Hippocrates of Gela, who made his ally Aenesidemus its tyrant. In 476 BC Hieron of Syracuse moved the inhabitants from Catana and Naxos to Leontini.

Later on, the city of Leontini regained its independence. However, as part of the inhabitants' efforts to retain that independence, they sought the intervention of Athens. It was mainly the eloquence of Gorgias of Leontini which led to the abortive Athenian expedition of 427 BC.

Gianluigi Lentini (born March 27, 1969 in Carmagnola ) is a former Italian winger who was once the world's most expensive footballer, when he moved from Torino to AC Milan for £13 million in 1992.

Lentini started his career at Torino, and after occasional appearances he spent the 1988/89 season on loan with Ancona. He returned to a Torino team that had been relegated, but Lentini scored 6 goals as Torino were promoted straight back to Serie A for the 1990-91 season.

Whilst at Torino he gained his first cap for the Italy national football team, against Belgium on 13 February 1991. He was capped on 13 occasions, making his last appearance on 6 November 1996.

He was signed by Milan for £13M in 1992, and was a key part of their side in 1992/93, as they won the league and lost the Champions League Final.

A year after signing for Milan, at the age of 24, Lentini was involved in a serious car crash whilst driving home from a pre-season tournament in Genoa. He fractured his skull and damaged his eye socket and he spent approximately 2 days in a light coma. However, he went on to make full recovery.

Stefano Lentini (born November 26, 1974) is an Italian composer and musician born in Rome, Italy. Lentini has released music and soundtracks of varying styles, from the electro-rock of Il sorteggio and the ethnic folk of Bakhita to the symphonic instrumentation of 84 Urne. Lentini makes use of a variety of instruments, often playing many of them himself on the same track and writes music in various time signatures. He is considered part of the cross-chamber music, but his influences are very broad. His music has been likened to orchestral pop, ambient music, electronica and aesthetically compared to the film music of Ennio Morricone. Lentini' music often has spiritual themes, and many songs draw inspiration from real stories.

Lentini' first instrument was the guitar, built by his grandfather with the doors of an antique wardrobe. Ever since he was young he dedicated himself to the composition and arrangement of music. He made his debut at the Folkstudio, a historic nightclub in Rome. He graduated in Cultural Anthropology and studied Ethomusicology in Rome and in London. He has collaborated with orchestras around the world: National Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra (BU), Orchestra di Roma (ITA), Mihail Jora Philarmonic Orchestra (RO), Digital Records Orchestra (ITA). His music is performed in Spain, Romania, Sweden, Ireland, Austria, Ukraine, Alaska, Mexico, USA and Poland.

Wong Kar-wai BBS (born 17 July 1958) is a Hong Kong Second Wave filmmaker, internationally renowned as an auteur for his visually unique, highly stylised, emotionally resonant work, including Days of Being Wild (1990), Ashes of Time (1994), Chungking Express (1994), Fallen Angels (1995), Happy Together (1997) and 2046 (2004). His film In the Mood for Love (2000), starring Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung, garnered widespread critical acclaim. Wong's films frequently feature protagonists who yearn for romance in the midst of a knowingly brief life and scenes that can often be described as sketchy, digressive, exhilarating, and containing vivid imagery.

Wong was listed at number three on the British Film Institute's Sight & Sound Top Ten Directors list of modern times.
