Subjects : An ancient medieval village on the border between the Nebrodi and Peloritani mountains, it is possible to take photos of ancient architecture, ancient and sumptuous processions rich in history and folklore. In the place there is an ancient observation tower (here known as "the castle"), a museum containing Neolithic finds. Not far away, in the Mandrazzi areas, it is possible to take astrophotography photos thanks to the low light pollution. For hikers, it is possible to climb the Rocca overlooking the village (Rocca Salvatesta and Rocca Leone) so as to take landscape photos. The whole town is perched on the hill, it is very photogenic and characteristic.

Recommended equipment : Presenting very suggestive panoramas (it is also possible to see the Aeolian Islands from numerous points) and characteristic views, I suggest both telephoto lenses and wide angles. Easel recommended for landscaping.

Best months : Undoubtedly the week of Ferragosto because of the ancient "Festino del Ferragosto", a sumptuous procession between bells, fireworks, songs and folklore. The Carnival period is also recommended to photograph the ancient "Contradanza" which is danced in the municipal theater.

How to get there : From Messina, I recommend reaching Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto by motorway, from there climb along the curves to the road passing through Terme Vigliatore and Mazzarà Sant'Andrea

Visits : Numerous churches for which there is no entrance fee, Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, newly opened "MANOS" prehistoric museum, "Giorginaro" Mill whose visit is currently free.
