Trappeto (Trappitu in Sicilian) is an Italian municipality of 3,123 inhabitants in the Metropolitan City of Palermo.

From this, Trappeto evolved as a fertile agricultural centre, and main sources of income for the town included fishing and tourism.

Known as "Trappetum cannamelarum", for the mill of the Sugar cane which was planted here in 1480 by the rich landowner Francis Bologna, who subsequently made a fortune during the 16th century.

The city is famous for the work of activist, Danilo Dolci, a social and cultural writer who helped bring Trappeto back from depths of poverty and ruin.

Ciammarita is not far from the town of Trappeto, making walking to the beach a very popular choice for both tourists and residents.
