The subjects of Bentivegna 2 sent on February 26, 2015 (16:18) by Agata Arezzo. 4 comments, 530 views.

1/1600 f/5.6, ISO 800, tripod.

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.
