The wealth of Prizzi lies in its mounts, in its valleys, in its inhabitants, in all that the historical center offers and in the pleasant landscape that encircles.
Starting from the Sican site of Montagna dei Cavalli (Horses Mountain), whose findings are guarded today in the local Museum and reaching the warp of the narrow lanes, last trace of the passage of the Arabs, the churches, the medieval country houses the pleasant nature of the valley of the Sosio river up to the sources of Montescuro, and ending with the Rituals of the Holy Week that reach its maximum in the evocative "Danza dei Diavoli ( Dance of the Devils) ", this documentary tells the ultramillenarian history of Prizzi, bringing us to its discovery with extraordinary sounds and images.
Once we know Prizzi, we will always take in the heart the nostalgia of the silent lanes, of the faboulous landscapes, of the charming panoramas and of the golden sunsets. And in the memory of Prizzi we will delight our mind, even just for a moment.
