Vicari should discovered by slowly flying on its treasures, while caressing the fantastic natural scene, the dumb stones of the castle, the variegate colours of the bell-towers, the grays roofs of the houses, the mysterious alleys, the faces of the people curing the own traditions.
The story and the splendid images of this documentary pick the more meaningful testimonies of the millenarian history of Vicari such as the archaeological ruins of the structures of the castle, the Terravecchia quarter, the churches, the Cuba di Ciprina, and still the "masserie", the San Leonardo river, the typical Etno-Antropologico Museum, the "passavolante" and other local products. And finally the rituals, with the " Travels " of the Saint Saturday and of Saint Rosalia, that every year are renewed filling up the heart of the devout people with ancient and new hopes.
Men and colors, tastes and smell, faith and culture, they all are signs of a country whose history began many centuries ago on the smoothed height of a mountain, in a corner of Sicily where the earth is nearer to the sky, the
unknown, the eternity.
