at 28mm, 1/400 f/11.0, ISO 100, hand held. Scala dei turchi, Italy.

Foto di Eugenio Costa - La Scala dei Turchi è una falesia viva costituita da uno sperone di marna bianca prominente sul mare lungo la costa tra Realmonte e Porto Empedocle, in provincia di Agrigento. È diventata nel tempo un'attrazione turistica sia per la singolarità della scogliera, di colore bianco e dalle peculiari forme, sia a seguito della popolarità acquisita dai romanzi con protagonista il commissario Montalbano scritti dallo scrittore empedoclino Andrea Camilleri. La Scala dei Turchi presenta una forma ondulata e irregolare, con linee non aspre bensì dolci e rotondeggianti. Il nome le viene dalle passate incursioni di pirateria da parte dei saraceni, genti arabe e, per convenzione, turche; i pirati turchi, infatti, trovavano riparo in questa zona meno battuta dai venti e rappresentante un più sicuro approdo. Secondo la leggenda, durante le invasioni moresche che imperversarono nel '500, i turchi (così erroneamente chiamati) approdarono nel territorio dell'odierna Realmonte inerpicandosi sulle stratificazioni di questa falesia.
