The subjects of Bentivegna 1 sent on February 26, 2015 (16:18) by Agata Arezzo. 13 comments, 900 views.

1/125 f/11.0, ISO 800, hand held.

In Sicilia, ai piedi del monte Kronio a pochi km da Sciacca, sorge il "Castello incantato", uno spettacolo creato dall'inventiva dell'uomo e della natura, dove, oltre agli ulivi, ai mandorli e ai carrubi sorgono le teste scavate e scalpellate nella roccia e nei tronchi d'albero da Filippo Bentivegna, un artista contadino detto "Filippu di li testi" e vissuto dal 1888 al 1967. Bentivegna nacque a Sciacca da una famiglia molto povera, non trovando lavoro, come molti siciliani di quel periodo andò a lavorare negli Stati Uniti, ritornato a Sciacca in seguito ad una disavventura, comprò questo piccolo podere dove visse dipingendo e scalpellando gli alberi e i massi,le sue sculture rappresentano personaggi famosi e non,a cui dava anche un nome e che nella sua fantasia rappresentavano i sudditi del suo regno. Il suo piccolo podere è ora un museo all'aria aperta, mentre altre sue sculture sono esposte presso il Museo dell'Art Brut di Losanna.

Grazie a te Paolo per aver attenzionato la mia foto e letto la didascalia, purtroppo quando sono stata a visitare questo museo, pioveva e quindi non ho potuto realizzare il reportage come avrei voluto, dalla mia città ci sono tre ore di automobile, speriamo di ripetere presto questa gita.
Ciao Agata

Thank you Paul for attenzionato my photos and read the caption, unfortunately when I went to visit this museum, and it was raining so I could not make the report as I wanted, from my city there are three hour drive, we hope to repeat early this trip.

Bellissime foto e mi associo ai complimenti per la didascalia, pur essendo siciliano non conoscevo questo posto, da visitare assolutamente!

Beautiful photos and I echo the compliments for the caption, although Sicilian did not know this place, well worth visiting!
