Information about how to purchase this video
In a strip of Sicily suspended between heaven and the sea Carini guards its more than thousand year history.
Evocative images and an absorbing narration - the fruit of careful research - accompany us in our video journey of discovery, including the grottos, necropolis, catacombs, the archaeological and fossil discoveries, the castle, the ancient village, the churches, convents, palaces, the works of art, the "Presepe Vivente" (or "Living Creche"), the Festival "Fra Medioevo e Rinascenza," the processions of Good Friday and the Sacred Crucifix, and the valuable
black and white photos of Carini at the inception of the past century.
The video offers us a flight with unfurled wings over the treasures of a town that preserves them beyond the boundaries of space and time, recovering cultural values inherited from the past and instilling in the hearts of the newer generations that message of love and brotherhood uniting all Carinesi throughout the world wherever they may live.
