Suggestive shots and an involving narration are the result of this careful study about Misilmeri`s historical heritage.
A coverage that ranges from the pre-christian age tombs on Pizzo Cannita; the sanctuary in Gibilrossa with its superb views; the hamlet of Risalaimi and its 15th century frescoes; the castle ruins; and then the village and its churches, its works of art and ancient buildings, its fountains and squares and its downtown alleys.
A valuable black and white photo repertory show Misilmeri as it was at the beginning of last century. The story of a village and its magical atmosphere during religious celebrations.
A community that looks beyond the limits of time and space, retrieving, through its processions, faith and past traditions, thus arousing in all young hearts a sense of love and brotherhood that unites all the Misilmeri people all over the world, wherever they may live.
