In the trunk of an olive tree sent on February 26, 2015 (16:18) by Agata Arezzo. 20 comments, 1383 views.

1/250 f/5.6, 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.

Beautiful shot and beautiful document, someone had already told me about Bentivegna and his works, it is fair to remember it as much as possible, in my opinion was a great artist!.. Thanks Agata and Brava to have proposed.
A dear greeting, Rod ;-)
