GIBELLINA

Gibellina Gibellina was destroyed by the earthquake which strucks the Belice Valley in 1968. The ruins are still visible (follow the signs for Ruderi di Gibellina, 18km west of Gibellina Nuova), although many have been petrified into a work of art called Cretto (Crack) by Burri. Indeed much of what used to be the streets of the old town have been "veiled" in a gentle concrete blanket furrowed by cracks. Gibellina Nuova has been rebuilt as an embodiment of a highly peculiar concept: to design the town as a kind of permanent museum with sculptures scattered through the streets and among the buildings, which in turn could be seen as individual works of art, including the imposing Star at the entrance to the town by Pietro Consagra, Quaroni's Piazza del Municipio with its musical tower, and his great white spherical Chiesa Madre that dominates the landscape from miles around.

MAZARA DEL VALLO

This settlement founded by the Phoenicians at the mouth of the River Mazaro became animportant harbour in Antiquity on account of its protected position and its proximity to Africa. Mazara was an important Greek commercial centre, it reached its maximum splendour under Arab and then Norman dominion. The mixture of the people, due to the different dominations, is still very evident. Mazara is still now considered as one of the most important deep-sea fishing-towns in Italy, accounting for 20% of the national catch. Mazara del Vallo
