Via Giuseppe Pitrè, 35, Gibellina

The cluster sits in the Valle del Belice, an agricultural valley that was heavily affected by the 1968 Belice earthquake. Gibellina Nuova is the rebuilt town created after the 1968 earthquake and contains a concentration of modern art and contemporary sculpture in public spaces. The Cretto di Burri (Grande Cretto) by Alberto Burri, an extensive land-art work covering the footprint of the destroyed old Gibellina (Gibellina Vecchia), lies on the edge of the town. The Monti Sicani foothills form the nearest uplands to the area. Nearby small towns include Salemi (with a Norman castle and a restored historic centre) and Montevago, which provide shops and local services. The surrounding countryside is agricultural, with olive groves and vineyards common. There are no ski lifts or a national park within the immediate 15 km radius.
