The artwork in the Sicilian culture
By the Governance of Sicilian Artisan Foundation
The Western Coast of Sicily is characterized by a series of salt evaporation ponds which, especially in the past, gave work to many Sicilians. Famous are those between Trapani and Paceco. It is a magical place, of great charm and poetry. The white hills of salt, the mills with their propellers, the tanks for the collection drawn with the walls in the middle of the sea, the extraordinary presence of pink flamingos, the dwarf palm, the most beautiful sunsets in the world that are a rainbow of a thousand colors, and the island of Mozia founded by the Phoenicians, just in front, along with other adjacent islands.
