FARM CULTURAL PARK - Favara, Sicily

Take a wealthy man and his wife bound by their passion for contemporary social art and life, and put them in Favara, their small native town close to the greek temple city of Agrigento in Sicily, and you obtain one of the places that makes the world different. A vision becomes reality in the crumbling decadent neighborhood known as the sette cortili (seven courtyards), built up on the old layout of an arabic Kasba in the center of Favara. It becames a wonderful and innovative place attracting contemporary art enthusiasts and numerous tourists from all over the world. Walking along the seven courtyards, huddled with white painted and cheerfully decorated small buildings, one feels as pulled from one dimension to the other, from a vintage shop to a tiny biological garden amid the buildings, from a video art exhibition to a innovative design room just behind the corner.
You should be only curious enough to discover all the surprises hidden in the several show rooms open on the narrow streets where once women used to chat about each other private businesses and gossip on other's affairs (a sort of antique social network).
Absolutely worth is to dedicate a reasonable amount of time to visit one of the toilets, especially the one where the Stanford University speech of Steve Jobs is thrown on the wall just in front of the w.c., for the benefit of your 10m motivational growth. You can recognize it by the quote stay hungry, stay foolish printed on the entrance wall.
The Farm Cultural Park is an initiative to focus everyone's attention on the importance of social art to support the rebirth of towns too small and to still to survive the financial and moral value crisis of these years. It should be taken as an example for all the other several places that only wait to be exploited and led to a creative way to live the present making the future better than even imagined.
As displayed on the home page of the cultural park, this is simply a place that makes you happy.

Travels for Street Art: Agrigento (Italy)
From Beirut to the narrow streets of the centre of Agrigento, one of the oldest cities in Sicily (Italy). In this documentary we again look out for the local street art scene. In Agrigento, street art is located in two main hotspots near the streets of via Neve and via Vallicaldi. The art is still a bit raw, but with a clear effort to embellish the city.
In this video we talk more about how Italian historical centres. They can leverage on their strengths (beauty, good food, history) to attract a crowd of free-lancer and artists, that can work remotely but are looking for some affordable places where can live and meet with other interesting individuals
We move to the nearby village of Favara to understand how a artistic experiment completely change the phase of the town. It is called the Farm Cultural Park

Unseen Sicily
Unseen Sicily - The Hidden Face of Sicily. Talè Edizioni
This series, of which we are submitting you the pilot, is a proposal, a driver and a guide for those who want to discover new points of view of the island, out of the ordinary - speaking geographically as well.
Sicily is a place to be explored by car or motorbike, marveling at each road curve.
This island is a land rich in fascination and mystery, a place lost in space and time, a dimension where the past and the future blend together into a chaos of culture, tradition, perfumes and tastes.
It’s a huge treasure, with thousands sites to visit and to remember – in this series we want to show them as simply and naturally as the characters (a couple of tourists) get to discover and enjoy all the big and small surprises the route “on the road” has to offer.
Expected episodes are 7, 30 minutes each.
Unseen Sicily is going to become a multimedia project: it will include a Web support portal for travelers, in which the interaction of users and the exchange of useful information, together with the current and future episodes is an added value to this product intended for an international community finally represented.

South Sicily: travel documentary
This time we are in Sicily, more precisely in Siracusa, to explore the southern part of the island. A trip made on the occasion of the 40 years of marriage of our parents.
We start from Siracusa, more precisely from the island of Ortigia from which we base ourselves to explore the triptych of the baroque: Noto, Modica and Ragusa. The whole area was devastated by a terrible earthquake in the eighteenth century and the three cities were rebuilt in the baroque style of the time.
Before leaving for Agrigento, let's go to Punta Secca to look for the house of commissioner Montalbano and to make the first bath in 2018. It's April 21st
The Valley of the Temples of Agrigento is something unique but it is Agrigento that catches our attention. At first sight it seems a city almost ghost, but slowly discover the charm of its historic center with the palaces in Sicilian baroque, made not of marble but of stones that seem to melt in the sun and wind.
From Agrigento we make an episode in Favara, 10 kilometers away to explore the Farm Cultural Park, an artistic experiment that has succeeded in enhancing a country that in recent years has been affected by depopulation and decadence.
The journey continues with an episode at the Scala dei Turchi and at the birth house of Luigi Pirandello, the Nobel Prize for Literature 1934.
We end our trip to Sicily on Mount Etna, the heart (geologically) button of the island, from which we conclude our visit trying to understand why this island is defined as the most beautiful region of Italy

Travel Italy - Exploring the Limestone City of Posada in Sardinia
Take a tour of Posada in Sardinia in Posada, Italy - part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
Posada is a limestone city on the autonomous Italian island of Sardinia.
This is one of the oldest towns in Sardinia, with ancient Etruscan temples as proof of human presence.
The town is on the Tyrrhenian coast, facing mainland Italy.
The old town section of Posada sits at the top of the hill, and features a medieval historic center and the ruins of the Castle of Fava.
The town was bought by the Kingdom of Sardinia in 1856, and it remains one of the jewels of the island to this day.
A landscape of rolling mountains, dunes, and vast beaches surround this quiet town, whose claim upon this land is stamped into history.
