Between Palermo’s hinterland and the Sicilian coasts lies the Madonie area, renowned for its biodiversity and cultural heritage. Here, the Madonie Park is home to villages like Petralia Sottana, where ancient crafts thrive: Antonio Li Puma restores historical clocks, while Mirco Inguaggiato creates traditional musical instruments and a Neapolitan-style nativity scene. The village also offers culinary delights, such as “le cucchie,” a sweet prepared by Maurizio Bracco. The region features the Urban Geological Path, natural springs, and the Catarratti Hydroelectric Plant. Shepherds and artisans like Nino Spera, the Inguaggiato family, and Francesco Faraci uphold local traditions. Petralia Soprana and Sottana tell stories of archaeology, nature, and social progress.
