Poggioreale, amid past, present and future
Text and direction Giovanni Montanti Information about how to purchase this video In the Valley of Belice an evocative itinerary through the heart of the Province of Trapani unwinds carrying one from prehistory to the third millennium. In the heart of the Bagnitelli fief, lying at the foot of Mount Castellazzo (formerly an Elimian center and afterwards Greek dominated) the Marquis Francesco Morso founded a town called Poggioreale in 1642. Following the earthquake of 1968 Poggioreale's story continued elsewhere where now in a valley the new Poggioreale arises as a modern town surrounded by undisturbed nature and by relieves dominated by spectacular panoramas.
The people of Poggioreale entrust their hope for a bright future in the town's favourable position right in the middle of the routes most travelled by tourists in Western Sicily and its rich agricultural resources. Not wishing to loose its cultural moorings the new Poggioreale vigorously maintains its identity, roots and history. In the devotion for its Patron Saint Anthony of Padua the people of Poggioreale express their inner desire to disseminate their message of brotherhood and love uniting them where ever in the world they are found.

Travel amidst the flowering of culture and taste. Travel with both history and modernity present. Journey experiencing the traditions of the people of Valle del Belice, whose landscape is fleetingly revealed through ancestral odours and ancient but contemporary flavours. Travel in a reality which remains true to itself even while it renews itself daily.
