Attractiveness and dynamism. Rediscovery of an enchanting Sicilian landscape between nature, myth and archeology

Abstract

Sicily has always been a favorite destination for tourists and travelers, but also writers, painters and photographers who, at different moments and with subjective experiences, have described history, city development, architectures and the beauty of the landscape. A landscape that has been and continues to be, a source of inspiration for artists, poets and writers of all ages and origins. Our focus is on the rediscovery of the magical landscape of the Kolymbethra Garden, within the Archaeological and Landscape Park of the Valley of the Temples of Agrigento, a UNESCO world heritage site. Through a multidisciplinary approach, we want to know the value and varieties of the historic agrarian landscape of the Garden - a place of cultural development and tourist attraction - and to stimulate the curiosity (inherent in the human being), creativity, and desire to explore in potential users, but above all the desire to know and to get to know an enchanted place of great attraction that has no equal
