GIBELLINA
Gibellina is a special place. You could say that it is known of the twentieth century, both destroyed by an earthquake, both rebuilt by seeking beauty. But while Noto is now a city with centuries of history, is still a city Gibellina "child." The Mother Church of L.Quaroni, the Palace of Lorenzo di Francesco Venezia, the system of squares of Franco Pure and Laura Thermes, the buildings front of Peter Consagra, are just some of monumentality on the urban fabric. 3 museums: the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Museum Belìce | Epicenter, and just outside the town, the Museum of Mediterranean Textures in the extraordinary home of Case Di Stefano, an important seventeenth-century farmhouse, beautifully rebuilt and headquarters of the Foundation Orestiadi. At 18 km, the ruins of the old center, the largest contemporary art work in the world and a masterpiece of one of the greatest artists of the last century, the Great Cretto by Alberto Burri.

And we are in the Valle del Belice known for the earthquake that in 1968 hit her hard. It is an extraordinarily beautiful and diverse territory, still little known. The campaign in Ireland is almost winter, spring is colored blooms surprising, and in the summer prevail contrasts between the green of the vineyards and olive groves and the dryness of the estates. Lands that produce food excellence: Nocellara del Belice olive oil, considered by experts among the best in the world, the award-winning wines (of this territory are, among others, Planeta, Donnafugata, Spadafora), cheese from sheep Belice .
But the Belice is also rich in history and its vestiges. Extraordinary prehistoric sites dot the area. Before the arrival of the Greeks, and developed an Elymas still mysterious civilization, with its network of cities, the most famous of which is Segesta, all built on high ground elusive and breathtaking views. One of it, Entella, in the thirteenth century it became the last stronghold of the Arab resistance in Sicily and this destroyed by Frederick II. To finally get to the sites of the archeology of the earthquake of '68: the seventeenth-century and spectral Poggioreale Santa Margherita, which is the Donnafugata of the Leopard; Salemi and its rich historic center. And then the reserves and natural sites.
